Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the opinion of pregnant women on motherhood and related beliefs about the maternal instinct, vocation to a parenthood, marital obligation, the obligation of religious and social upbringing of children. Material and methods: Study was conducted on 200 pregnant women in the range between 20-44 years attending antenatal classes at the City Hospital in Białystok. The material was collected through an original questionnaire which consisted of 26 closed and semi-open questions. Results: Most respondents (84%) planned their pregnancy, 70% used various methods of contraception before getting pregnant. Among pregnant women under 30 years old 73% said that they planned their gestation, the number rises to 93% among women over 30 years old. Seventy-five women (60%) under 30 years said they did not use birth control methods. Conclusions: A significant percentage of respon-dents present different from widespread views on the maternal instinct, parenting, legalization of their relationship, and responsibility for raising a child, thanks to which they break stereotypes common in Poland. Attending childbirth classes reduces fear of labour, supports women psychologically and allows to find oneself in the new situation.

In a contemporary family, which is described by sociologists as a post-family or a heterogenic post-modern family, the focus is placed on social, economic or political changes. Thus, an extraordinarily important question arises about contemporary parenthood which, paradoxically, is not a unique concept. Fulfilling the role of a parent is an essential piece of life’s cycle, which is affected by many factors, inter alia, the conviction about the importance of a parental role, a degree of identification with the role and content of motivation of family cohabitation, and patterns of child-rearing as well. Taking into consideration the issues raised by A. Giddens, we can wonder if relying on other individual elements of one’s experience such as labor or intimate life will also entail changes in parenthood. The question is in which direction the change goes. Does parenthood slowly become a reflexive project like other parts of our life? What are the symptoms of such a directed change? The article presents selected theoretical threads and the results of the author’s own research.

Surrogacy legal issues in the UK and the Czech Republic

100%
EN
One of the basic meanings of the life of a human is to have a descendant. If the natural conception fails, people look for other options. One of them is surrogacy. Surrogacy stands for a long way with uncertain end and result. The only certain result is, some rules must change. One of them is “mater semper certa est”. Legislation on surrogacy varries coutry to country. Some countries, like United Kingdom, recognize surrogacy on law basis for decades. Some countries, on the other hand, do not have legal bounds set. Although the surrogacy as a medical treatment is legal there. Czech Republic stands just for the country with no legislation. Comparism of these two systems may lead to the conclusion what are the challenges of surrogacy in the law field.

The parenthood occupies a special place among family roles. The role of a mother or a father opens new perspectives and contributes certain values and experiences to the life of the individual. It can be assumed that the successful development of an offspring is one of the most important criteria of the successful parenthood. The mental handicap of a child is a factor determining the implementation of parental roles, and thus an individual development of mother or father. The results of study of parents with mentally handicapped child are presented in the paper.

In Israel’s legal system, equality is a fundamental principle. LGBT people in Israel suffer from discrimination due to their sexual orientation and their right to equality, parenting, and family life is impaired. Regarding the surrogacy procedure, the Supreme Court has unequivocally stated that the relevant laws discriminate against LGBT people and their fundamental rights when compared to heterosexual people. The main problem is that the statutes block the access to the surrogacy procedure of single men and male couples, harming their right to equality, right to a family life and parenting. The article suggests adopting the minority ruling of Justice Uzi Vogelman in HCJ 781/15 and declaring the nullity of the sections in the laws that discriminate against single men and male couples. This remedy is a lawful and operative solution for the inequality rooted in the surrogacy arrangements towards homosexuals that want to establish a family and become parents. The expectation from the legislature to amend the law is unrealistic, due to the political construction of the Israeli Knesset (parliament). An innovative approach for the amendment of the inequality towards LGBT people should be the nullity of the discriminating sections of the law.

Aim. The ability to regulate emotions depends on many factors, but for displaced persons, the satisfaction of basic needs is likely to be among the most important. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the degree of basic needs satisfaction and their relationship with indicators of emotion regulation in parents displaced within Ukraine and abroad due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Methods. The study sample comprised of parents (98% of whom were mothers), aged 18-55, who fled the war from 23 different regions of Ukraine to the safer Ukrainian regions (N = 99) or abroad (N = 241). Participants answered questions about their demographics, basic needs satisfaction, and emotion regulation. Results. There was no significant difference between parents displaced in Ukraine or abroad in access to basic resources, conditions of accommodation, medical care and emotional support, but parents abroad had better access to employment and education of their children. Parents in both groups had positive (refocused on planning, put the situation into perspective) and negative (rumination) strategies of emotion regulation. Parents who had higher level of their basic needs’ satisfaction, scored higher on positive emotion regulation strategies and were less likely to experience emotion regulation difficulties. Conclusion. Basic needs satisfaction can be considered an important protective factor for displaced persons’ emotional regulation. The obtained results allowed drawing of conclusions only about people who were able to participate in the study. The problem of access to a broader target population is discussed.

The aim of this article is to attempt to present the issue of parenthood of Deaf mothers of hearing, underage children (KODA). The presented subject is important from a scientific and cognitive point of view due to the important role of a mother in the family, and also due to the deficit of empirical research and scientific studies in the area of parenthood of Deaf mothers of KODA children. This article consists of five parts. Part one introduces the adopted terminological conventions and also draws attention to the issue of Deaf mothers from mixed-hearing status families as a rarely described or explored area. Part two and three form an attempt at synthetic description of the situation of Deaf mothers, as well as the situation of their hearing children (KODA). The main part of this article focuses on selected empirical studies carried out both in Poland and abroad. The article concludes with the author's summary and conclusions, highlighting that Deaf mothers, in their parental role, encounter a number of barriers regarding, among others, communication, access to information or social perception of parenthood of people with a damaged hearing.

The aim of this study is to present, on the basis of a case study of the Konopiska municipality, to what extent social assistance centres can use the social project to raise the parents’ care and educational competence and to promote correct parental attitudes. The article will discuss in detail the projects implemented by the Municipal Social Welfare Centre in Konopiska in the last eight years, including the project entitled „Rodzice na medal” („Perfect Parents”) which is the author’s bachelor’s thesis. In order for people experiencing problems related to parenthood to be able to obtain comprehensive assistance and professional knowledge, various types of special-ists were hired during the implemented projects, including a psychologist, pedagogue, dietitian, addiction thera-pist and sexologist. An important role in the projects was, of course, played by social workers, whose task was to conduct recruitment of parents and motivating them to actively participate in classes. Social workers also coop-erated with other institutions working for the benefit of the family in order to reach the largest possible number of people in need of strengthening the care and educational potential. The presented activities can be recom-mended as „good practice” and a voice in the discussion on the shape of social work with dysfunctional families and families experiencing difficulties in raising a child. The information contained in the article comes from project documentation, including applications for co-financing, reports on the implementation of tasks and correspondence exchanged between the Konopiska municipality and institutions providing subsidies.

Rodzicielstwo jest naturalnym etapem życia kobiet i mężczyzn, konsekwencją wypełniania funkcji prokreacyjnej. Rozpoczyna się w momencie urodzenia dziecka i wiąże się z podjęciem określonych ról oraz wynikających z nich zadań opiekuńczych i wychowawczych wobec potomstwa. Obrazuje stopień zainteresowania i zaangażowania rodziców w wychowanie, opiekę i edukację własnych dzieci. Współczesne rodzicielstwo oparte na równouprawnieniu kobiet i mężczyzn dla wielu rodziców jest swoistym wyzwaniem związanym z jednej strony z koniecznością podejmowania nowych zadań i realizowania kolejnych funkcji, zaś z drugiej z nastawieniem na indywidualne potrzeby i własny rozwój. Kierując się takimi przesłankami, podjęto badania jakościowe, których celem było poznanie sposobów rozumienia rodzicielstwa przez badanych rodziców mających dzieci w wieku szkolnym. W badaniach wykorzystano wywiad swobodny. Zebrany materiał badawczy poddano kategoryzacji, co pozwoliło wyodrębnić następujące sposoby rozumienia rodzicielstwa: rodzicielstwo jako moment przejścia, rodzicielstwo – poczucie osobistej odpowiedzialności za dziecko, rodzicielstwo w pułapce izonomii.

Parenthood is a natural stage in men and women’s life – a consequence of procreative role. This stage begins together with child’s birth and it requires undertaking appropriate roles and fulfilling care and educational tasks stemming from these roles. Parenthood indicates level of parents’ interest and engagement into upbringing, caring and educating their children. Contemporary parenthood is based on equality between men and women and it is challenging for many of them. On the one hand, it is connected to necessity of undertaking new tasks and bearing new roles, on the other hand to focusing on individual needs and self-development. Qualitative studies, referring to these grounds, were aimed at the cognition of ways of understanding parenthood by parents surveyed. Studies were carried through open interviews. The evidence collected was categorised, which allowed for extracting the following ways of understanding parenthood: parenthood as a moment of transition, parenthood as a personal responsibility for a child and parenthood in isonomy trap.

The paper discusses the issues of family and parenthood in the education pedagogies of Polish scouting organisations in the years 1911–1939 and 1939–1945. It analyses source materials of Polish scouting organisations, the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association ZHP (Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego), the Polish Girl Scouts Organisation/Clover Association/Be Ready (Organizacja Harcerek/Związku Koniczyn/Bądź Gotów), the Grey Ranks (Szare Szeregi), the Polish Scouting Regiments (Hufce Polskie). In those years, there were different dominating pedagogies of educating Polish boy scouts and girl scouts. The pedagogies addressed to Polish girl scouts, focused on indoctrinating girls into the roles of mothers raising future generations and complementing the man. In the latter period, the bravery of women was included in those pedagogies, as well as their vocational training, but only in professions that were socially useful. Pedagogies addressed to Polish boy scouts were more stable. The following two types were alternately dominant: the soldier and the citizen, whereas the theme of family and parenthood is mentioned directly only in the period 1939–1945, in the Polish Scouting Regiments organisation.

This paper presents theoretical framework of mother’s caregiving system, that is the goal-corrected behavioral system reciprocal to attachment. It is guided by mental representations of self as a caregiver, child as an object of protection and mutual relation. Caregiving representational system is influenced by the adult’s history of attachment and current experiences with the child, his/her characteristics and social-contextual factors. Development of the caregiving system from childhood to adulthood, and particularly during transition to parenthood, is presented.

Single-child families are a phenomenon that, alongside childlessness, is contributing to the trend of declining fertility, especially in the countries of central and eastern Europe, including the Czech Republic. This article presents the results of a qualitative study based on problem-centred interviews with parents of a single child who had originally planned to have more children aimed at exploring their understanding of the main factors that led to them having one child, when two-child families are still the preferred normative model in Czech society. The analysis presents the main lines of argumentation that the respondents used to try to explain and justify their reproductive choices. In their narratives, a single-child family is constructed as the consequence of certain events and transitions in different areas of life and the timing of these events in the linked life paths of the two partners. In a situation where intensive parenting is the normative ideal and where it is also difficult to combine work and a family, and in view of the normative hierarchy of different paths to parenthood that exists (where the preferred path is to have a biological child in a two-parent family), being the parent of single child is becoming an accepted form of parenthood.

Losing a child is the most devastating experience that a mother can experience. The aim of this study was an analysis of factors associated with maternal grief after losing a child: time since loss, type of loss and parenthood. The data were analyzed through combination of quantitative and qualitative approach. A sample of 60 grieving mothers (M = 40,0; SD = 9,87) completed the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief and demographic characteristics questionnaire. The qualitative part of the research was realized by form of semi-structured interviews with 12 mothers aged from 28 to 55 years, focused on deeper understanding of the factors associated with mothers' grief. The data were analyzed through Consensual Qualitative Research. Grief in mothers after more than three years from the loss is lower. There were found no differences in grief of anticipated and sudden loss. Mothers with anticipated loss perceive sudden loss as more difficult, and conversely. Grief in mothers who lost their only child is higher than in mothers who have had another child in time of the loss. Mothers who lost the only child have found the meaning of life in caring about others.

Strata dieťaťa je najzraňujúcejšou skúsenosťou akú môže matka zažiť. Cieľom práce bola analýza faktorov súvisiacich s prežívaním zármutku u matiek po strate dieťaťa: času od straty, typu straty a ďalšieho rodičovstva. Údaje boli analyzované kombináciou kvantitatívneho a kvalitatívneho prístupu. 60 matiek po strate dieťaťa (M = 40,0; SD = 9,87) vyplnilo Texaský revidovaný inventár zármutku a dotazník demografických charakteristík. S 12-timi matkami po strate dieťaťa vo veku od 28 do 55 rokov bol realizovaný pološtruktúrovaný rozhovor zameraný na hlbšie porozumenie faktorov súvisiacich s prežívaným zármutkom. Údaje boli analyzované konsenzuálnym kvalitatívnym výskumom. U matiek po viac ako troch rokoch od straty je zármutok nižší. Neboli zistené rozdiely v zármutku medzi očakávanou a náhlou stratou dieťaťa. Matky s očakávanou stratou dieťaťa hodnotili náhlu stratu dieťaťa ako náročnejšiu a naopak. Zármutok u matiek, ktoré stratili jediné dieťa, je vyšší ako u matiek, ktoré mali v čase straty ďalšie dieťa. Matky, ktoré nemali ďalšie dieťa nachádzali zmysel života v starostlivosti o druhých.

This article provides an overview of a number of research studies conducted within the field of parenthood and reproduction in a variety of Western cultures, including Slovakia and the countries of Eastern Europe. The main aim of this overview is to analyse two key indicators on Second Demographic Transition: delaying marriage and parenthood until later on in life and the growth in cohabitation as an alternative living arrangement and childbearing as part of that. The author points out that the majority of parents opt to have a first child and this brings normative and emotional fulfilment. Most young people do not reject this, but simply postpone it until later on in life. The hypothesis is postulated that the decision on whether to have further children is to a larger extent rationally based and is more dependent on weighing up the incentives available from the state. The article emphasises, on the basis of a comparison of the results of various empirical studies, that the same patterns of reproductive behaviour can produce markedly different consequences and outcomes within various subgroups of the population. It is recommended that current research into parenthood and reproduction should be extended so that studies are conducted into similar groups within subpopulations across different countries-in contrast to the current prevailing research that is focused on single countries or in comparing different countries as a whole. It is also recommended that the scope of the research be extended to compare a number of different subpopulations with similar value and life-style configurations as opposed to the majority of the current narrowly-focused approaches that concentrate on examining the differences in reproductive behaviour patterns of a section of the population selected on the basis of education.

Having in mind that every social phenomenon should be perceived in a specific social context, parental alienation has to be considered having in mind the specific characteristics of modern society and social phenomenon that are most directly related to it - the modern family. Social reality is complex, layered and diverse, and as such, confronts the family group and its actors with unprecedented challenges. However, families from socially deprived backgrounds are particularly vulnerable to potential family problems. Parental problems often result in chaotic and inconsistent parenting styles and inadequate care for children. To what extent this affects alienated parenting and what are the consequences of such practices on children's socialization, we will try to answer by analyzing recently researches on parenting in some Roma settlements in Serbia.

Divorce is a stressful event often combined with spouse conflict which significantly affects the way children experience the consequences of family reorganization. Various factors contribute to the impact of divorce on child development, one of the most decisive being the quality of parental relationship prior to, during and after divorce. The article addresses one main question how spouses’ conflict during the process of divorce is intertwined with a child’s experience.   Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 adult children (7 men and 13 women)  from divorced families. Adults ranged in age 21 to 42 years old.  Five to twenty years passed from their parents’ divorce. The results show that in the cases of violent parents’ relationships or family relationships with addiction prior to divorce, the participants experienced relief when the nuclear family dissolved; however, in most cases conflict between parents persisted after divorce, the child being torn between both parents. When the conflict between the parents is combined with various addictions, the consequences for the child are even more devastating. In most cases, children were left to themselves. The findings of this study can therefore contribute to creating various forms of educational, consulting, or therapeutic help.

Parenthood is given and assigned first to parents, but also to all communi-ties which are concerned with children’s upbringing. One needs to take into account the country, which acts through education, but also the media. One cannot forget the Church either. This paper shows the church’s support for the contemporary family in fulfilling parental duties. Church’s service in that re-spect is not limited to the activities of the clergy, but is a sum of numerous initiatives undertaken by the laity involved in the Family Ministry.

The article focuses on the concerns of Czech expectant parents and their subsequent life difficulties. A qualitative longitudinal methodology was used to study parental experiences for a period of around four years. Three waves of semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen dual-earner parental couples who had their first child in 2011 or 2012. An analysis of 93 interviews revealed that the fears of the parents-to-be principally concerned childcare, paid work, free time, the relationships, and health. Actual experience of difficulties in these areas was often mentioned by different respondents from those who had expected to have them. The theory of intensive motherhood was employed to underscore the heavy demands and responsibilities placed on contemporary parents and the difficulties that accompany the use of a child-centred approach. The heavy demands on childcare felt by mothers who adhered to the intensive mothering model were cited as causing difficulties in the everyday lives of parental couples; the fathers mainly complained of a lack of rest and quality time with their partners.

Prezentowane w artykule badania dotyczą zagadnienia akceptacji przez matki małych dzieci przekonania, że miłość rodzicielska może zastąpić wychowanie. Główne pytanie badawcze brzmiało, czy badane matki akceptują mit, że „dziecko wystarczy kochać, nie trzeba go wychowywać” i kierują się nim w wychowaniu swoich dzieci. Do badań wykorzystane podskalę Kwestionariusza Obsesyjnej Miłości Matki do Dziecka (KOMMD) – Miłość zamiast Wychowania (MW). Próba badanych obejmowała 113 matek dzieci w wieku od roku do 7 lat. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników badań można wysunąć wniosek, że badane matki kierowały się mitem o miłości zdolnej zastąpić wychowanie w stopniu umiarkowanym, przy czym częściej niż akceptację przekonań składających się na mit deklarowały podejmowanie zachowań z nim związanych.

Research presented in this article focuses on the issue of mothers of young children accepting a belief that parental love can replace upbringing. The main research question was whether the mothers that took part in the research accept the myth that “it is enough to love the child and there is no need to bring up the child” and whether they follow this rule in the process of bringing up their children. The study used the subscale Questionnaire of Obsessive Mother's Love towards the Child – Love instead of upbringing. The sample of examined individuals, included 113 mothers of children between the age of 1–7. The results of the research can conclude that the examined mothers tend to adhere to a moderate level of believe to the myth that love can substitute upbringing but at the same time they are more likely to take behavior associated with it rather than accept all beliefs of the myth.
