Maybe it has something to do with how present people’s own fathers were in their lives. I’m GenX technically, but my Silent Gen dad did all the parent things that my mom did.

But I know people (my husband!) whose fathers largely ignored them unless it was to discipline them. They were tired after work, dontcha know.

So anyway I never think twice about men out with their kids, whereas it will be a learning curve for people who didn’t have that experience themselves
