A photo: Vlad Krasilnikov - In the New Year I performed. Although, I confess, on a festive night I do it with pleasure, everyone around is incredibly happy and happy ... I would very much like to arrange a big seed festival, but deliberately chose to work. In 2014 we met together with babies, I canceled all concerts and stayed at home. And what do you think? Moni fell asleep at 10 pm, followed by Alina. And we together with the godparent hardly waited until midnight. However, for girls, the main thing is that on January 1 I should be at home and together we open the presents under the tree, and then we go somewhere to rest. I follow these traditions strictly.
Mom's work is pouring children off their feet
My daughters now live in Los Angeles, but minework is concentrated in Moscow. But I decided for myself a long time ago: I leave the girls for a maximum of two weeks a month, then I come back and devote all my time to them. In extreme cases, I get distracted only when Ali is at school and Moni is in kindergarten. In Moscow, my schedule is quite tough, early rise at 6:30 or the first planes at 5:15 between touring cities. Constant meetings, business negotiations, filming and approval of new sketches. I would really like to be with them every second, but mom has to work. I want to give my daughters a good education, I want them to have the kind of life that I, a girl from the very outskirts of the city and from a poor family, dreamed about all my childhood. I am their hope. This summer, the little ones spent with me in Kiev. Monica was born in Los Angeles, and this was her first visit. I really wanted my daughters to see what my work is like. What did they know before? Mom goes somewhere, and what does she do there? They saw the videos, listened to my music, wore my LASTORY clothes, but they didn’t know how it happens in detail. I wanted to give them a full immersion into my schedule, real life, very different from their everyday life in Los Angeles.Photo: Instagram.com / annasedokova / We got up at 7 in the morning, went to meetings, then to the office of the LASTORY clothing brand. The girls drew sketches, from them we created a children's collection. The kids were wildly interesting, but complicated. They looked at me differently. I felt sorry for my mother, hugged more. Alinka gave me advice on working with the team, one evening, however, Ali asked: "Mom, and when will we go to Los Angeles? I miss my friends. "They are good there, beautiful climate: in summer +30, in winter +16. Alinka is engaged in dancing in the legendary dance school "Millennium", already taking part in tournaments for tennis, playing drums and guitar. We can walk for hours in the park or just shopping, choosing sweets. I'm just a mother there. And for daughters, the main thing is for my mother to be happy. It is unlikely that this will be possible if I have nothing to pay for renting an apartment. Sometimes I tell the girls that I once had just one beautiful dress and in three years I never put it on because I was afraid to get dirty. The main thing is to keep the balance, I really want the girls not to become spoiled, understand that they will have to achieve something in their lives themselves. So far everything is heading the right course. Daughters see how much I have to work, and therefore appreciate everything they have.
