Discover the dramatic shift in fatherhood from Boomer dads spending just 2.6 hours weekly with kids to modern fathers tripling their involvement. This episode explores how Millennial and Gen Z dads are revolutionizing parenting by attending pediatric appointments, handling night feedings, sharing mental load, and becoming true co-parents. Learn how increased father involvement reduces maternal depression, improves child development, and transforms family mental health. We examine cultural expectations across generations, the impact of the women's movement, workplace challenges, and why this parenting evolution matters for mothers' wellbeing. From changing diapers to managing schedules, today's engaged fathers are breaking outdated "provider only" stereotypes and creating healthier, more balanced families. Perfect for expectant parents, new dads, mothers seeking partnership, and anyone interested in modern family dynamics and parenting trends. Includes research from Pew Research Center, studies on postpartum depression, and real life insights on co-parenting success.
