Wat...
Must be America again, because I've hardly seen this in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, France, or Spain (all countries I've either visited for extended periods of time, or lived in for portions of my life).
In my own family, however, I am the biggest brother, so they basically made me take care of a lot of the dirty tasks involving my siblings.
I'm Danish and can confirm. I grew up in a family full of babies and all the dads were always super involved. All the friends I have, who have little ones, the dads are involved. Only one of them has a situation where the mom is mostly on baby duty, but that's because dad has a job that requires him to travel for work for months at the time. When he's home, he's very much a hands on dad. Men love being dads. At least where I live.
The only times I hear about hands off dads is when it's America and Middle Eastern countries.
