Millennial dads spend more time with their kids, a 2017 study shows. However, societal dads for parents need to change at the workplace, too. Category : Parenting
If I ever have kids, I’ll definitely be spending more time with them. I was pretty seriously neglected as a kid (which led to some major abuse that wasn’t noticed) and it’s taken 7 years of therapy for me to realize how much that neglect fucked me up. Turns out that you can’t raise a healthy kid if you’re out on business trips more than you’re home (like my dad, home 2 days every 2 months), or smoking lots of weed, drinking, and abusing amphetamine weight loss pills (like my mom, sometimes home but never present).
Neglect fucks people up. Millennials know this, and we don’t want to fuck up our innocent kids.
