After their parents' separation, 6 percent of children aged between 3 and 5 years old in Denmark live with their fathers while 94 percent live with their mothers. In this Danish study two probability samples with an equal number of residential fathers and residential mothers were selected. The research results revealed a close association between strains on parents and the well-being of their children. Parents who were not appreciated at work or unemployed were more to have conflicts with their children. Although one-third of the fathers had care of their children because of the mother's death or because the mother was unable to take care of the children, the fathers in the study had better jobs, less unemployment and fewer psychological problems. As a consequence they were less severe with the small children than the mothers
