Men who live in a context of social and economic exclusion and who become fathers in the beginning of their adult lives often find in this transition the motivation to make important changes despite obstacles related to their situation. This study analyses the role of women in fathers’ lives, precisely their own mother and the mother of their children. The results reveal profound changes in masculine and feminine gender roles. The mothers of these young men become a parenting role model and most coparenting relationships do not follow a traditional pattern.
