Summary/Abstract: The study examines families in which one or both partners are commuting for longer periods(hetelés). Our research questions focus on those families who are raising children. As a result,their family life is largely determined by the specific operation based on the changing dynamicsof physical, emotional proximity and distance. The analysis which processes qualitative resultsfocuses on children and reveals the changes that have taken place in the family as a result of longterm commuting. These include attachment in the family, the care and upbringing of children,and the place and role of the child in the family. In the lives of the families studied, we encountered different parental attitudes and parent-child relationships.
