Summary/Abstract: “I was their father and their mother”. The term is used to emphasize that one person is the actor in everything that parenthood means but also points to the existence of a notion of two different parental roles. What does it mean in such a case to be a father, and what to be a mother, especially if both roles are performed by the same person? In this case, what thoughts, feelings and activity characterize the maternal role, and what characterizes fatherly role? How often and in which situations have you heard men utter "I was their mother and father," and how often and when do women?
