I examine educational differences in the time that American parents spend with their children, and how these differences have changed between 1985 and 2003. I also examine educational differences in the ratio of mothers’ child time to fathers’ child time. The results indicate that better educated parents used to and continue to spend more time with their children than the less educated. Although parents at all levels of education have increased their time with children, the better educated have made relatively larger gains. Further, the ratio of mothers’ to fathers’ child time was and continues to be lower for the better educated than the less educated. Finally, I find that the gender gap in parent-child time has narrowed at every education level between 1985 and 2003
