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

I mean people who work in L&D can tell you how common shitty fathers are…it’s not just anecdotal

That's the definition of anecdotal.

They are the ones who will have seen the most deliveries, who the hell do you think would be more appropriate to have a good impression of the trends of that particular situation? You?

without actual recorded data it's nothing more than vibes

people remember problems much more clearly than they do easy situations

If I asked you to write down every meal you've eaten this year, how many will you accurately recall? Despite you being the only person present for every single one? You'll likely only remember "standouts"; the very best and very worst as well as generic, basic, or often repeated recipes - but you mostly won't even remember those individually, only be aware of having eaten them regularly.

In order to have data about your meals you'd have to write down the same set of information every time you dine.
