Fatherhood is a social institution and includes the rights, duties, responsibilities, and statuses associated with being a father. A useful distinction is made between the terms father , fathering , and fatherhood . The first refers to the connection made between a particular child and a particular man (whether biological or social). The second refers to behavior; the actual practices of “doing” parenting. The third term refers to more general ideologies and public meanings associated with being a father
