Sumario: | In the last three decades in Chile, variations have been observed in paternal participation in family reproduction tasks, with the appearance of roles that are more in line with current times and at the same time of insufficient equity. The main objective of this research was to know the changes in the parental role within Chilean two-parent families. A voluntary sample of male participants from Ñuble, Chile, who exercise parenthood, was used. Thirteen semi-structured face-to-face and online interviews were conducted, which were subjected to a narrative analysis to observe the life stories through the people's accounts and to know their experiences from the subjectivity, which allowed to deepen and interpret the exposed content. The results indicated that there are updates to the parental role, evidencing the importance of the new type of role together with the presence of the traditional role, which are determined by the experiential, sociocultural and generational context of each participant. The repetition of parenting patterns observed in the family of origin and the slow incorporation of new models of parenting suggest that this should be a relevant issue for the future implementation of public policies that promote participation and equity in parental relationships in the current family. |
