“In this new non -traditional family there are different roles and you realize that each child is different,” said the leading actor, Mauricio Ochmann, Who plays César, a man who suddenly remains widower and must face the care of his four children after Sandra’s death, the mother, who is interpreted by the Mexican Ana de la Reguera.
For Ochmann, the concept of the “Alfa Macho” parent no longer works but now “there are many parents to those who like paternity and treasure those moments”, a quality of certain modern paternities that can be seen in this series that premiered on Friday on the Vixing streaming platform.
However, the interpreter is no stranger to reality, because he is aware that many Mexican parents allocate the time that “plenty of” their families and that they are also unable to understand that absence as a problem.
Data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reveal that the father figure in Mexico allocates between 11 and 13 hours a week to their children, a daily average of 1.7 hours, compared to 43 hours per week that by law dedicate to their jobs.
“(Some parents) think that they are doing everything right and, suddenly, they realize that they are not listening to the children, they are not giving them quality of time, they are more self -absorbed in their professional life, their achievements and dreams,” said Ochmann, who is also the father of two daughters.
Imperfect parents
Mauricio Barrientos, known as the “Diablito”, actor and screenwriter of Single dad, He said that for this updated version of history he sought to reflect that paternity “is not perfect.”
“No one as a dad carries a guide of how to be perfect (…) As a family we are abnormal, everyone has problems and you don’t necessarily have to have the answer to solve everyone. Rather, it is done with love and patience,” he reflected.
This new version, said Barrientos, aims to attract those who treasure the original, successfully broadcast for almost a decade on television, but also seeks to conquer the young audience, because they are the ones who have changed their behaviors with the use of devices such as electronic tablets, which allow them to have “access to a thousand things”.

Then, this “traditional” education that the parents “are changing,” said De la Reguera.
Therefore, the model that “they will always be a mother and a dad with the dog and two perfect children who are never going to divorce” is being modified, the actress sentenced.
“People want to see real things, that you speak to them in front and that no one or nothing is perfect,” he concluded. EFE
