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

It is very common unfortunately.  The younger generation of dads are more supportive and involved and its so awesome to see.

14% is not "very common", it's the exception, not the rule
