Nah it's not. I can see how someone would want to normalise such a shitty event to deal with it but the fathers I know and myself have been much much more involved and supportive than our fathers were

Yep

The Nurses who do births in my country have been quite positive about millenial fathers and in particular the ethnically Swedish millenial fathers.

Same thing in the local parks where i live its about 50/50 and during some periods majority fathers with their kids in the park.
