"I sincerely believe that many people, including me, become mothers too early, when they themselves did not manage to grow up, and as a result, children are brought up by immature parents. My sons helped me and my mother. It so happened that Kolya's father moved to live in America, now they call up via Skype. With Vova's father, the situation is complicated, we are both to blame for it. I hope that they will communicate, I do not interfere with this and always leave him a chance. All the men I advise the film "Return" Zvyagintsev, in which the pope for a long time disappeared, and then came to raise children. Look at what came of it.
Wars for attention
— Kolya took Vova’s birth hard.He was ten years old at the time, he wasn't worried about his toys, but he didn't want to share his mother. It was difficult at first, the boys fought. The eldest was used to being alone, getting all the attention, and then not only did his mother "divide", but he also had to think about someone other than himself. The question "who do you love more?" arose constantly. I tried to make sure that the three of us spent as much time together as possible and that both sons saw that I loved them equally. Kolya and Vova still sometimes make scenes, but I figured them out, and they only put on show when I was there. If mom isn't home, it's peace and quiet for them - they sit hugging each other, watching TV. And when Vova goes to his grandmother, Kolya even misses him.
Lean Lessons
— When the eldest son was born, circumstances were soThings were going well, I filmed a lot, there was no shortage of money, and he got everything he wanted. Now I regret it. If a child is not spoiled from childhood, then it is much easier to explain to him why his mother will not buy this or that toy. With Vova, everything is exactly like that. When I tell him that we cannot afford something now, he understands and does not suffer. But it was difficult to explain such changes to the older one. And it is not he who is to blame for this, but me. Now I understand that children need restrictions, there should be as many of them as possible until they are seven years old. This is the only way to teach a child order and thrift.
