Some shared photos on Father’s Day, which became popular in the U.S. during the 20th century and is celebrated on the third Sunday every June.
According to recent Pew Research Center polls, 57 percent of fathers see parenting as central to their identity. Fathers have also become more involved in their children’s lives over the decades, spending an average of eight hours a week on child care in 2016, compared to just two and a half hours in 1965. However, 63 percent of fathers believe they are spending too little time with their children.
