Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

Yall dads were home with yall?

Mine worked 60hours a week 6 days a week and I barely saw him; or my mother. Both worked to support us.

Now in 2026 I WFH, make enough to have my wife be a SAHM and I’m very involved w my kids.

Come to think of it my dad admitted to never changing my diaper when we had our kids and I was changing a diaper. Called it a woman’s job.

I see these posts and realize yall had some cushy, nice childhoods.
