I just had to think about how much more complicated life would be if 
family members had MM-relations :)

PropertyMapper::convert() expects a third parameter $configuration.
You should be able to use that "manually":


$propertyMappingConfiguration = new 
\TYPO3\Flow\Property\PropertyMappingConfiguration();
$propertyMappingConfiguration->forProperty('my_date')
	->setTypeConverterOption('TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter
                \DateTimeConverter', \TYPO3\Flow\Property\TypeConverter
                \DateTimeConverter::CONFIGURATION_DATE_FORMAT,'Y-m-d');}

$fatherObj = $propertyMapper->convert($father,'\...\Model
\Father', $propertyMappingConfiguration);


But why do you go for an array in the first place?

If your action looked like this:

public function createAction(\...\Model\Father $newFather) {
}

you wouldn't have to interact with the property mapper directly in the 
first place..
