Parenting is a very complex concept and it is difficult to define, we talk about it as a process and as a role or realationship, it depends on the time and space in which it takes place and is closely related to cultural understandings and beliefs about childhood and the reality in which it exists. The term „parent“ refers to mother or father, that is, we are talking about motherhood and/or fatherhood. Parents are the first and most important educators of their children and they have an influence on the complete and healthy development of the child. We distinguish four parental behaviors: authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful and permissive. For the purpose of the work, a study was conducted with the aim of determining the experience of motherhood of mothers who are alone and mothers who are in a partner relationship, as well as the connection between the mother's marital status and aggressive behavior of children. The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference in the level of family satisfaction and life satisfaction between mothers who are in a partner relationship and single mothers, there was no statistically significant difference in parental behavior and aggressive behavior of children between mothers who are in a partner relationship and single mothers, in mothers who are married, high satisfaction with the pasrtnership/marriage was measured. A larger number of children in the family is associated with a higher level of aggressive behavior in children. A positive correlation was also obtained between mother's life satisfaction and family satisfaction, which are associated with positive parental behaviors (low rejection and control, high acceptance) and positive child behaviors (low level of aggressive behaviors).
