As Millennials become the majority of parents, their ideal is to share the childcare load, and they expect marketing tropes to change with them and start acknowledging dads’ contributions. It’s not just to make them feel included, Millennial dads have real spending power and are making more household purchasing decisions than previous generations. Research has found that 80% of Millennial dads are claiming primary or shared grocery shopping responsibilities, compared to 45% of dads overall. For the new generation of papas, “being a devoted father is a badge of honor,” and 49% say they are mainly responsible for planning their kids’ activities, versus only 23% of dads over 35-years-old who say the same.
