	Postponement of Parenthood and Evaluation of Family of Origin by Young Adults

	
		      Researchers of both contemporary family problems and statistical data point many important changes in family life. Among these, a significant place is occupied by the emergence of alternative forms of family life and transformation in the area of parenting (Dolińska, 2014; Golombok, 2015; Kemkes-Grottenthaler, 2003; Kwak, 2014; Mynarska 2009). Over the past years, the number of postponements or resignations from parental tasks has been increasing (CBOS, 2013b; GUS, 2016).
	
		      The purpose of this research was to explore the functioning of family of origin of spouses who did not undertake parental tasks. The study involved 210 people (105 women and 105 men) in early adulthood in legalized relationships, and the final analysis included results obtained from 170 people. The criterion group consisted of spouses who did not undertake parental tasks (76 persons) with minimum marital status of three years. The control group (94 persons) consisted of spouses of at least one child with a minimum marriage of three years. 
	
		      The following research tools were used: Survey Questionnaire (own elaboration), Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale Faces IV in Polish adaptation by Margasiński (2013). Studies have shown that spouses who do not take parental tasks assess their family of origin in a different way than spouses having children. These differences concerned the assessment of flexibility. However, the difference in the assessment of cohesion of families of origin occurred between women and men from the criterion group. The analyzes carried out showed that one and the other study group assesses their current family better than the family of origin.
