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.

In studies on men and masculinities, there is an increasing number of theories, which result from development, discussions and criticism in the area. However, in the context of this paper, two ways of describing masculinities are taken into account, i.e. caring masculinities and hybrid masculinities. The article analyses research results on male nurses in Poland, which were performed by means of in-depth interviews, according to theoretical assumptions on caring and hybrid masculinities. The interviews revealed varying ways of perceiving masculinities in the context of care. Out of the ways identified by the Author, the study focuses on the analysis of how to define masculinity as a belief that masculinity is accomplished by ensuring hegemonic masculinity. It also shows how this way of defining masculinity is related to the assumptions of hybrid masculinity. As a result, the analyses show that caring masculinities are not only diverse but also that the very term is disputable with regard to masculinities involved in various types of care.
