Parental responsibility is considered to be one of the key concepts in parenting. This article examines the views of two Finnish groups interviewed-five mothers and three fathers-regarding the beginning and end of parental responsibility. The mothers came to a more or less shared conclusion that parental responsibility begins before the child is horn. The fathers held varying views, from 'before the child's birth' to concluding that parental responsibility begins later for men than for women. Both mothers and fathers described the end as the transformation of responsibility into worrying as the children grow up. The mothers said that responsibility ends when a child has a family of her or his own, while fathers maintained that the parents are in some way responsible throughout their lives
