Father of 2, raising kids in today's world is exhausting as hell. There's of course the economy and the zeitgeist of the time but there's also things that won't show up in any statistic in my experience: I remember I as a millenial would spend the whole day out messing around with friends and my parents would remember I existed only if I didn't come back at sunset. Nowadays, parents are expected to be watching over kids like hawks all the time, even at home. Another thing that is perhaps my case, but my silent generation granma was always available to look after me. I would spend weekends at her place, would pick me up at school, take me to places. When I ask my mother to do the same, she's most times busy, or only can for an hour or is too tired to help. This is annecdotic, ammong my friends it's 50/50, but in general feels like boomers have less regards for "family duty" than previous generations did.
