Well... yes and no. You can't help but feel like an adult (someone responsible) when your kid throws a tantrum in a public place. There are so many responsibilities as a father. Besides the obvious ones, insuring they have the necessities, there are others that you begin to learn as your child grows. Fatherhood is providing and teaching. If that doesn't help you feel mature, then I don't know what else will. However, just because you do have added responsibility doesn't mean you'll grow up. Some men run from those responsibilities, and some ignore them. And if you are a kid at heart, then you will probably continue to be that same kid, which is a good thing when you put kids into that mix. Maturity comes with experience, and fatherhood means analyzing your own experiences, because you will be providing your child or children with experiences of their own. What a great question!

No not particurally as all men are different.. Some men buck and run and want nothing to do with the kids that they make and others step up to the plate and become a real and good dad and father to their kids. Not all men grow up over this though as some women do not grow up and mature when they have kids... This is why there are parenting classes available to teach people how to be good and better parents. Some men mature earlier in life and some men mature later and lets face it some men never mature or grow up lol. There are women like this as well.

I don't think it makes them mature, and it really depends on the guy. My husband became more responsible and puts our daughter first (he was 24 when we had her). Is he mature? He has his moments. I know he would do anything for her, if that meant work 24 hours a day he would do it, if it was in her best interest to move across the country, he would. So, if by mature you mean responsible, then yes, my husband did become more mature. Other guys I know, well, it's 50/50. Depends on whether the child was planned, whether they have a relationship with the mother, what they view the paternal role as, there are so many variables. Hopefully it does.

Fatherhood does not make a man mature it all depends on the man. My ex husband acted more immature when my son was born because he couldn't handle the responsibility. My husband now handled fatherhood in a complete opposite manner.

Absolutely not! Maturity needs to come before fatherhood. Sometimes a guy will try to do whats right and try to be what the world expects him to be - but the fact remains that maturity needs to happen first. How is someone that is not mature supposed to help nurture a child as he/she grows up? Besides, your question almost sounds like you are asking if a young man becomes a dad unexpectedly...will he grow up?...Nobody likes to be cornered - it leads to resentment, bitterness and often leaves the young woman as a single mom.

the responsibilities that fatherhood bring helps a man to mature faster than if he did not have children. It all depends on how important the well being of his children is to him.

It has made my husband more mature. Definitely. He knows that he is responsible, along with me, for our children and how they are raised. He takes that very seriously. And he makes sure that his son knows how to act toward me and his sisters. I sure hope fatherhood makes men more mature, but then again, I hope it does the same for women.

yea, i see plenty of men going into fatherhood and not being mature about it at all, so many young mothers out there who can't even find the father because as soon as he found out there was a baby on the way he took off fast as he can
yup, fatherhood brings out alot of maturity

Depends on the guy. Some are proud to take on the responsiblity but still stay young at heart. Others cry because the baby is taking away all of your attention, like a second child.
My husband grew up and likes being a dad. But his older brother is a father four times over and still sits in front of the tv, with his legs crossed, playing video games, and pouting because he is hungry, but has no job.

I think it depends on the man himself. If he isnt ready to mature then he wont and it also depends on their age. My Husband and I had our son young, my husband has learned more responsibility since our son was born 2 years ago. Financially thinking he as matured. He wants to provide for us. I just feel that women mature 10x more than men from my own experience. Others might disagree.
