> It’s possible that father presence for kids is only so valuable because the only fathers that stick around are the ones that care.

Even if this would be the case, we should allow those fathers to spend more time with their kids. For example, it is very difficult for a man to find a part-time job. Most companies take "I also want to spend some time with my kids" as "I don't really care about the work I do". You can care about the work without wanting to devote your entire life to it.

4 day work week, should be more common for this case here. If it were offered, I would take it, even if just for a few years while the kids are little.
