It’s a little disingenuous to start the graph in 1960 since that would be the bottom of the trough of dad interaction with kids. Historically kids worked in the family business, such as helping with cobbling shoes (“corporate family”). They would basically be their dads apprentice. In the 1960s, dads were employed well away from their kids.

What the hell were they doing all day? It’s not like the work week was longer. TV was like 3 channels. Were they just getting blitzed all hours after work and fucking?

If you own your own business like I do you have to spend a lot of time with your kids to monitor them and prevent them from noticing that your employees are banging your wife.

Families had 3-8 kids. Once the oldest was 5+ you made them babysit the others. Parents got to do other things.

Kids used to go outside and play with friends all day. They would usually roll around in mixed age groups, and that was how kids learned to fit in and function. Jonathan Haidt has some interesting research around it.

Because Karens. When kids go out and do anything, Karens harass them and bitch about it on NextDoor and FB. So kids stay more at home now than loitering in the streets, or by the pool side, or the mall.

This sounds right. Kids used to just go outside and stay outside until dinner time and mom would make dinner and dad would drink scotch and read the paper or do something in his workshop.
