In the theoretical work of the work will be discussed with the influence of the family as well as the family upbringing in modern conditions. A cross-section of parenting will continue to be made in a historical and contemporary context, but the concept of "modern parenting" will also be touched. The very emphasis of the work will be on developing the paternity view, the role of the father in raising children, his involvement in parenting and the parenting style of the father. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a link between the child's gender when it came to the involvement of the father in the upbringing of the child as well as the amount of free time spent in care and development activities around the child. For the purpose of the survey, an online survey was created, which was conducted in May 2020.Year. The survey was entirely anonymous and contained 27 multiple-choice questions.95 subjects of all ages participated in the study. The results of the study show that the sex of the child to future fathers did not matter at the time they found out they were going to become a parent. Regardless of the level of education, fathers are equally involved in raising their child. The results further suggest that young fathers devote more time to playing with a child, but that doesn't mean older fathers aren't inclined to do that. More than half of respondents believe that marriage satisfaction can influence their involvement in raising a child.
