The aim of the article is to analyse the experiences of fathers, who decided to resign from their paid work to take care of their children. Their experiences are analysed in the context of the theory of caring masculinities, which provides theoretical tools for the study of relations between fatherhood and masculinity models. The study shows that the experience of care work has a potential to change men’s thinking – they resign from their independence, start to recognise the value of unpaid domestic work and become aware of the cultural dimension of traditional parental roles.
