The article is a part of a research project “Paternal attitudes in rural environment”. It is devoted to its narrow fragment about the sources conditioning the type of relationship between a father and a child. Qualitative analysis of the collected research material, which precedes the theoretical introduction, provides current knowledge about the role of the father’s family and his inner circle (colleagues and relatives) in fulfilling his own parenthood. The qualitative analysis distinguished three different types of families from which the surveyed men came from as well as the behaviours of fathers towards the children and other family members corresponding to these family types. The research results also showed that most of the interviewees do not follow the patterns of paternal behaviour in their immediate living environment.
