Family and parenthood are very important for healthy development of a child. Positive parenthood is crucial for child's growth and development into independent personality. At the same time, parenthood includes effort and concerns that are more common in parenting twins. The thesis discusses the field of parenting twins, which differs for parenting the only child and has certain specifics. In the theoretical part I touched upon the importance of a family and parenthood for a healthy child development, the confrontation with a role of a parent and the preparation for a birth of twins. I got familiar with Slovenian Parenthood and Family Earnings Act. The empirical part is based on four interviews of parents of twins. I analyzed their answers and connected them with literature and interpreted them. According to the answers of interviewed parents, different perceptions of parenting twins among parents were shown. Analysis showed different condition from expected. It turned out that parents of twins do not feel discriminated, furthermore their conditions, in terms of parenting twins, are not so dramatic. The research represents a contribution to Slovene literature in the field of parenting twins and is a source of information and experiences for future parents of twins.
