Parenting is an important and demanding role and a challenge which outcome is uncertain in advance. Although the mother is considered to be the most important person in a child's life, who has the biggest influence on the child development, the father's influence is also of great importance, and begins, as well as the mother's, at the very conception. Today's fathers in families with both parents have a role other than the father- husband, a role of protector, teacher, guardian, caretaker, a moral guide. (Lamb i Tamis-Lemonda, 2004) Fathers help children prepare for the reality and harshness of the world, and mothers help to protect children from it. In single-parent families, parents are exposed to greater efforts at work and at home, and take a greater mental and physical burden of child care and responsibility for it. The children learn from an early age that men and women are different and that deal with life in different ways, everyone through their roles, whose importance should not be underestimated.
