As the evolutive stages of the family as a group are little appoached by medical literature, we decided to deepen in that one that starts with the birth of the first child for considering it as a period of many expectations and new tasks to undertake in the family and personal life. A descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective evaluation of the fundamental conflict perceived by the parents in this stage, of the feelings resulting from facing that event that defines it and of the attempts to solve the problems arising during that period was made. We worked with 2 groups: one with the child enrolled in the day care center and the other with children that developed in the family environment only. Among the results, we found that besides being desired children, fathers recognized their participation in their attention and considered that mothers played a fundamental role in the decision-making. The economic affectation was the main conflict observed in both parents from the 2 studied groups. No significant differences were found at least in most of the variables explored in the 2 groups of families that participated in the study
