Dads have never been so valued, or under so much pressure, experts say.
Prior to becoming a dad, Flood, who is 43, worked in consulting and described the business model as"trading hours for dollars."
"I did not want to travel. I did not want to be away," he said."I wanted to have that level of stability, and change our lifestyle." Molly Martin, an associate professor of sociology and demography at Penn State University, says the idea of family that comes from the 1950s represented more of an anomaly than a long-term trend.
Rather than relying on their own parents for advice, there are now endless troves of data online, advice columns and parenting books that offer"best practices" to modern fathers.
