A huge number of fathers are missing important milestones in their children’s lives – due to increasing hours and hefty workloads, it emerged yesterday.
And a similar figure confessed they have no idea what their child’s favourite book is due to missing their bed-times when working late. And a massive six in ten confessed to only spending quality time with their children at weekends, with ‘long working hours’ and being ‘too knackered’ averting them from valuable family time.
Unsurprisingly the sofa is the prime location for most tired dads, who will usually spend their evening in front of the TV with a beer or a glass of wine.Many of the hard-working fathers said they find it difficult to maintain a work-life balance, and over half have questioned whether their career is worth the time they miss out on at home.
The poll found over one in eight have never gotten around to building their kids a den or treehouse, whilst others haven’t cheered on at their kids’ football matches.
