You can only have Parental Controls active on Standard user accounts.
You would never want to have only a Standard User account on the system.
For safety's sake, you should create at least two user accounts with
Administrative privileges - one to do administrative tasks such as
controlling the Parental Controls on Standard user accounts for example
and one for emergencies in case of account corruption and the like.

If you want a more specific answer, then please explain your situation
and what you would ideally like to do, bearing in mind that you need
multiple accounts. There is no reason *not* to have multiple accounts
btw - if you want to automatically boot into one particular user account
(go directly to its Desktop) without seeing the Welcome Screen, that is
easily done the same way it was in XP:
