[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what did he say when you asked him about this?  Does he want to be closer to them but is not sure how?

(FWIW, I know way more dads who are involved and interested than who aren't, regardless of the gender of the kids, including my DH.)[/quote]

That must be why we see so many room dads, volunteer dads, dads at birthday parties, dads at the pool, dads at the park, dads reading to their children, dads doing their homework, dads grocery shopping with their kids, and most of all a dcurbandad.com.  Pleeeeeaaaaasssseee people!!!  Just be realistic and quit painting a picture that doesn't exist.  Just look around. It is no way shape or form 50/50 as far as the majority is concerned.  OP's situation is not uncommon.[/quote]

I don't think OP's situation is uncommon but nor do I think the majority of modern dads are disinterested in their kids. I think it's a mix. And yes, I do know room dads and PTA dads, and often see dads with their kids at birthday parties, pools, libraries, water parks, malls, and grocery stores. [/quote]
