You’re really underselling the burden of labor in parent’s lives. Lucky enough to have two parents? They’re probably working 50-60 hours every week including unpaid time necessary for their jobs like commute, meal prep, unpaid breaks, etc.

Most parents want to be more active and involved in their kids lives but material conditions get in the way. Blame shit economic policy and the greedy clowns that sold out America’s industrial base. Phones are an intellectually lazy excuse that ignores the facets that absolve parents of some of the responsibility you’re trying to heap on them. This is not to say that some parents are lazy and use screens as replacements for parenting; they exist but if you want to cast a net this wide - bring receipts.

According to the stats parents now spend more time with their kids :

From :

"Time diaries indicate that married fathers spent an average 6.5 hours a week caring for their children in 2000, a 153 percent increase since 1965. Married mothers spent 12.9 hours, a 21 percent increase. Single mothers spent 11.8 hours, a 57 percent increase."

Caring is not necessarily bonding. Caring could be stuff like making meals or laundry.
