Research shows that parents today spend more time playing, looking after and interacting with their children than their parents did, even those who are working full time outside the home. Both moms and dads spend about three more hours week than parents did in 1995. Take our quiz to see how much time you spend on kid-related activities and to find out how your year went. (And then let others in your social media circle know what you’ve been doing, if you want. Some things are OK to brag about.)
