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
Daughters now live in Los Angeles, my workis concentrated in Moscow. But for myself, I decided for a long time: I leave girls for a maximum of two weeks a month, then I come back and devote them all the time. In extreme cases, I distract myself only when Ali is at school and Moni in the garden. In Moscow, my schedule is quite tough, an early rise at 6:30 or the first planes at 5:15 am between touring cities. Constant meetings, business negotiations, filming and approval of new sketches. I would really like to be with them every second, but my mother should work. I want to give my daughter a good education, I want them to have a life that I dreamed of all my childhood, from the very outskirts of the city and from a poor family. I'm their hope. This summer the little ones spent with me in Kiev. Monica was born in Los Angeles, and it was her first visit. I really wanted my daughters to see what my work is like. They in fact before knew what? Mom goes somewhere, and what does she do there? They saw clips, listened to my music, wore my LASTORY clothes, but as it happens in details, they did not know. I wanted to arrange a complete immersion in my schedule, a real life, very different from their everyday life in Los Angeles.Photo: Instagram.com / annasedokova / We got up together at 7 am, went to meetings, then to the office of the LASTORY clothing brand. The girls drew sketches, from which we created a children's collection. The kids were wildly interesting, but difficult. They looked at me differently. We felt sorry for mom, hugged more. Alinka gave me advice on working with the team, one evening Ali asked: “Mommy, when are we going to Los Angeles? I miss my friends. ”They feel good there, a wonderful climate: +30 in summer, +16 in winter. Alinka is engaged in dancing at the legendary dance school "Millennium", already takes part in tennis tournaments, plays drums and guitar. We can walk for hours in the park or just shop, choosing sweets. I’m just a mom there. And the main thing for daughters is that mom is happy. It is unlikely that this will be possible if I have nothing to pay for the rent of the apartment. Sometimes I tell the girls that I once had only one beautiful dress and in three years I never wore it, because I was afraid to get dirty. The main thing is to maintain a balance, I really want the girls not to become spoiled, to understand that they will have to achieve something in their lives. So far, everything is on the right course. My daughters see how much I have to work, and therefore appreciate everything they have. Video posted by ANNA SEDOKOVA (@annasedokova) Jan 7 2016 at 9:57 PST
