Your physical presence in the home and genuine engagement in the home are not the same thing.

And the data that we have on physical absence doesn't really capture the entire picture of the emotional, the relational, the mental weight of men who are technically in the house, but they're functionally, practically, practically

gone. And that's what I'm calling the quiet quit. You have heard the term quiet quitting. It has
