Working fathers feel more guilty than working mothers about the amount of time they spend with their children, with fewer dads viewing themselves as good parents, according to Pew Research Center findings released on Thursday.
About 46 per cent of fathers said they are not putting in enough hours with their kids, compared with just 23 per cent of the moms surveyed in Pew’s analysis of long-term data, titled “Modern Parenthood Roles of Moms and Dads Converge as They Balance Work and Family.”
