> In 1965, mothers spent a daily average of 54 minutes on child care activities, while moms in 2012 averaged almost twice that at 104 minutes per day. Fathers’ time with children nearly quadrupled – 1965 dads spent a daily average of just 16 minutes with their kids, while today’s fathers spend about 59 minutes a day caring for them.

1-2 hours a day? That does seem sky-high...

It is double of what they spent in 1965 for moms. It is actually quite a huge chunk of a day, enough to make parents isolated and overworked.

And yes, expectations on parents are sky high compared to before. From small stuff to large stuff.

The thing is that parents need to raise functioning adults.

Now in modern society that means that children NEED access to computers and the internet.

From HN you just get the usual "raise your child as Amish" bullshit. Not very useful.
