I think this is an unfair characterization. I also go on business trips - about six a year, one week each.

That leaves 230 days of waking up, getting dressed, and walking to preschool. 322 nights of bath time and reading and tucking in.

The occasional trip for work doesn't negate the steady state effort that fatherhood requires.

Uh…? That's not my life at all.

I work from home 95% of the time, with most of my colleagues a continent away. So I'm definitely home and present in my son's life nearly all the time, probably more so than many parents given that I don't have any time occupied by a daily commute.

I recommend talking that projection over with a therapist, rather than pseudonymous HN commenters.
