Raising children has historically been the most motherly discipline, but today there is a growing focus on observing the role of the father. The father was an authority and was responsible for providing for the family, and the mother played an important role in raising the children. In today's pursuit of equality between men and women, fathers and mothers should have the same value and role in raising children, which means that we must first get rid of the premise that raising children is a "woman's job". The aim of this paper was to examine the extent to which Brazilian and Croatian fathers are involved in parenting, and whether the extent of parental involvement varies by nationality. The paper also attempts to raise awareness of the importance of fathers in child development and parenting. . Fifty-four fathers participated in the study, including 28 Croats and 26 Brazilians. Based on the study, five hypotheses were formed and a statistically significant difference was found between Croatian and Brazilian fathers, namely that Brazilian fathers were more involved in raising children than Croatian fathers. It has also been proven that Brazilian fathers are more interested in the literature on parenting and upbringing during pregnancy and more often go for ultrasounds with their partner.
