Tatyana and Oleg Storozhev, 6 children
KrasnodarChildren:Nastya and Masha are twins, they are almost 13 years old, Stepan is 9, Semyon is 7, Ivanna is 4, Sashenka is 7 months old. After which child did it become easier? I know for sure after which one it was harder. When Ivanna was born and all the other children were not as grown-up as they are now. Everyone demanded attention. Semyon just went to kindergarten. Stepan is getting ready for school. And the baby pulls the blanket over herself. Now everything is different. Everyone loves Sasha. The older sisters can feed and look after him. Stepan is happy to push the baby in a stroller.1/3Photo: Tatyana StorozhevaPhoto:Tatyana StorozhevaPhoto: Tatyana StorozhevaWhat do the kids do? What is your daily routine like?6:50 – dad and the boys get up. At 7:30 it’s already swimming practice. We wake up an hour later. When there’s school, homework is done until lunch. Nastya goes to vocal lessons, Masha goes to dancing. Everyone is busy with their own thing, but at the same time they all try to help their parents and each other. The girls can often cook breakfast. Lately they’ve started baking simple biscuits. A favorite family pastime. Every Saturday we get together for breakfast, and then we read the Bible. It’s important that in addition to secular education, biblical principles are laid at the foundation of life. And every Sunday – a mandatory joint lunch. Grandmothers, great-grandmothers and other relatives often join us. We have a lot of them.1/4 Photo: Tatyana Storozheva Photo:Tatyana StorozhevaPhoto: Tatyana StorozhevaPhoto: Tatyana StorozhevaPlans for the summer. Summer is always active for us. We will definitely visit the sea a couple of times. And at the end of July we are going to Moscow. It is very important for children to see the beauty and power of the capital and know the history of their homeland. Three "never" for your family. My husband and I never go to bed in different rooms. We never say offensive words to each other or to the children. We never give up. The recipe for happiness. Forgiveness renews love. Anything can happen in life - both difficulties and joys, but it is important not to remember past grievances and believe in the best. And, of course, try to please and surprise your loved ones. My husband brings me coffee in bed every morning, and when he leaves early in the morning, he puts a thermos and a cup next to him. How can you not love him? And I wake up and send love text messages. This is how we maintain love, romance and respect.
