there's a lot of families start their day with morning exercises no matter what the type of yeah or whether. the doctors are usually looking to you you'll be watching what you think you're. going to do go we go out in the morning to walk and run winter as start of so we can go and scrub ourselves with snow. they haven't been ill and. i can't remember the last time they were sick. you know little. ordinary cheerful kids what makes them different from their peers is the fact that they live with only one parent their father is single mothers are no longer an unusual phenomenon what a father devoting himself to his children is a rare occurrence for many. however in russia there are thousands of single fathers just like romans are off.

my meetings at the hotel with. me so that the table now boyce. no breakfast in this family can start without saying grace roman became a believer after a serious illness that left him has breath from death tries to instill his faith in his children. when i took the kids to my place i simply did not know what to do and i was running around like a madman i couldn't work twenty four hours at the parking lot. so i quit my job and started looking for other means of income i took up all kinds of jobs that i came across. here in our harm that the courts stripped the mother of her parental rights

concerning these boys some time ago. she's always drinking. and she's not my mother anymore. and she abandoned us but when i took the kids she didn't do anything at all for six months she didn't call or ask after us. i spoke to her relatives about her reaction they told me she felt ok as she had more time to go out. there are i am lucky that. the children don't miss their mother but they want to have one in other words they don't miss a specific person in the mob want a mother figure on talk about the one who gave birth to them and abandoned them they just want to have a mom. already knows what a good mother should be like. she should come to my brother and me and kiss goodbye

. telling us stories and hugging us so we can fall asleep. come here come on. two thousand kilometers east of moscow in the city of you. a group of single fathers have formed their own club. get together to discuss many important issues they want local authorities to give more support. it would be good to be able to speak at the government level and defend our civil rights. problems however have no need for politics he simply trying to get by with his

adolescent daughter. who's already fourteen his youngest. over the most rebellious is twelve year old lisa. with the girls for the time being the main issue. that we see such families more and more often the most common reason is when a mother abandoned her family most frequently because of her anti-social behavior namely alcoholism. the second reason is sadly due to the mother's death. third which may seem quite surprising is the freedom women now have in terms of their career prospects. grapple with important issues. to make paper cranes.

when the cranes are tied to the children rushing to the street with their. how legal release are balloons into the stuff together with our cranes. was. everyone sees the balloons fly off into the sky except for alexander pulls off he is completely blind when he told the single fathers club it was hard for me to believe that. they leave me everywhere here it's impossible for me to walk on land how can i and so busy. alexander stories would be similar to thousands of other single fathers if not for his eyes. a few years ago his wife left for another

family shortly before the divorce the man lost his eyesight in a car accident he stayed alone with his three young daughters. says here papa. had first alexander's relatives helped him with the girls now he's learned to care for them by himself. eager to go to have lives five hundred kilometers south of moscow in the city of course many people that know him if you. come here it's the largest one stop wait a minute wait don't dance. it wastes only four to five kilos from them yes we keep them for me so we can eat me while the kids are in school i go in concert

grass. and they come home they first have a rest and then the also go and get some grass so there is enough in the evening for the next morning you. know how here comes our little lena from my old up alina i was school it was ok one margin is you get four out of five. what a good girl you are as you know i'm not the lena is he goes youngest daughter she's only nine years old in total going to go to have has ten children two girls and eight boys his oldest already have families and homes of their own party but from the moment you step through the front door it's obvious that a large family lives in this house. the younger children usually help their older sister in the kitchen to cook a dinner for such a big family takes a lot of time and effort. but often tells us about mom now and says that she was kind and beautiful and that she helped people that mama

loved us so. in two thousand and five the gregorio were expecting the eleventh child. the pregnant woman was taken to a maternity hospital but suddenly the family was shattered with terrible news the mother had committed suicide at the clinic. i started drinking i didn't go to the funeral they buried her with. her food then i stopped and i simply didn't know what to do. when one has a responsibilities a man has. to attend to both of them it was very. very difficult at the borscht.

seem to keep. a father cannot substitute a mother it's simply impossible woman is a woman and the man is a man there's nothing to add to it. is more caring more affectionate more delicate . by nature and we can't do anything about it when you're home when you cook. very difficult for the children to live without their mother you know they need someone to kiss them. this is a favorite story told by. the ivan the terrible use to climb this tower to see executions on the red square. conducting excursions around red square in moscow a hobby of. joining a says to

a group on red square. this isn't a place where people get executed but rather where decrees issued by the czar were not. true. alexei raises three children alone living alongside villainy in his apartment brothers our children and. there's also a dog a cat and a turtle look at this different life animal since i was a little girl we always had a lot of cats at home when my mother worked at a pet store i often spent time there after school i love animals very much. and her two brothers lost their mother to cancer. you know you can all. mommy bernie who was raised by her mother. as for anton he remembers his mother and the older he gets the more he thinks about her she try can see it shows that when he

sees his mom's picture he says it's mom and then asks why people die and the other day he asked me what's the purpose of life the boys are only six years old. now. alexei hired a nanny to help take care of the children she cooks for them and puts them to bed. but what if it's been two and a half years since right anymore what do you mean women think that men can't take care of their children they always want to show how to do it are they come up to us in the street and wipe their noses it gets on my nerves really do they think i can't do it myself. another thing is that people tell me all the time that they feel sorry for me well ok thank you the face of the one day you simply find yourself all alone well thank you and you understand the have to do something you're very likely to get it isn't. plus you're under enormous stress.

explain enjoying the natural world together they visit the zoo. they weigh about thirty kilos liberate the train no one because you want to ride the train. and this is the african elephant not to be confused with the asian elephant african elephants have big ears asian ones have smaller. one point six look the child is climbing up there now it's a mother would say what on earth are you doing climb down immediately the police and firefighters will arrive but a father would say well it's good you're safe and sound it's good you haven't fallen down great and if a child falls down he will be happy. that's the main difference in the way men and

women bring our children. this one. to balloons police. car.

of his boss's children to escape his eldest son is already a good skater he even has help keep you. watch your step. so you stay here. i. use. your phone to skating and it took the older one only a couple of weeks to learn how to skate decently. he doesn't slip he can make turns and knows how to stop. come on come on that was it is go to a quick stop. good job. i. knew we have no contact with my ex-wife she's married to another man and has already given birth to a daughter she never calls us to do she's lost all interest in the kids. but we

last saw her half a year ago asked the dealer some remembers his mother but the younger doesn't. understand why she was trying to hug him. thank you down you go also did you have fun. don't worry when you go up to. thank you thank you none of the people i know pity me see nothing extraordinary about my situation after all single mothers are quite common so there's nothing unusual about a single father the more so that men are stronger than women. sons have persuaded him to take them to see their mother even though that's not an easy thing to do. to arrange to get together in the near future.

family is following its usual daily routine in the morning the head of the family and his elder daughter go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. although the father is blind he has. no difficulty cooking meals his daughter is by his side always ready to help. out some more flour here but i steer it sometimes it feels it's getting thicker on other occasions and. if you feel resistance it means it's ready it's not just that flour. here's the milk. ok just a little bit of no. particular group sometimes i can see a glimmer of light but i don't see any lights most of the time but with the situation doesn't happen much i rather worry about the kids i want them to grow up to become decent people more room or more they also asked me questions about their mother i said without mincing words your mother does not need you she abandoned you

and found another man that's all i told him. that's illegal and i come eat. of a roof i know who's who when i hear their voices i learned to recognize them a long time ago well kirk. she wants to be a chef. leno wants to be a veterinarian regular good remarkable liza is still in two months she wants to be either a cook or a singer. we shall see how we work out. some others and just not worth mentioning at all. hours wanted to send us to an orphanage of all places but our father took us away from her. i'd say fathers are more concerned about their children. i feel happy because i have to go it's

a joy to know that they're with me they help me to show how the innocence found in children they are michael jordan. before dawn breaks father of ten you go to their heads to the market place in course he takes care not to stock up on too much food even though he has so many children. i know for a fact that the kids will snatch up the best bits and leave the rest to rot then i'll have to give the leftovers to the dogs i don't want that sort of thing happening buying too much food is a bad idea. the market vendors are all familiar with eagle they know he has many children and offer him good discounts. i'd like some of those sausages the high girls hello how many do you want able do not many today.

is also a jar of mayonnaise and chocolate for the kids it's just. people help us and may god help them. be in dire poverty were not for them. to like hello. when my wife died a moscow businessman bought a car for us. the outhouse has been built by a wealthy man from poor i don't even know his name. but here for the working man also build the hole in the large bathroom the shower will be made later the toilet is in order and the floor is heated i've got no idea who that wealthy man is. i also like to have the other floor put in order to make more room for the kids and the time being the place is a bit crowded. on the new york. kids

remember their mother pictures of her are all over the place. i simply can't afford to let another woman live here i haven't asked the kids about their attitude never even occurs to me that i might share this home with another woman i want to want to previous because i want the children to grow up to become decent people i don't want anything artificial about them. i don't want them to cheat but to be honest in adult life the way they are now when you know i don't want them to tell false hoods or make wild promises to shawn you're doing more. alexei some units of support becomes a playground for his kids and he's not particularly strict with them on such occasions he can devote his full attention to the children. and i'm firmly

convinced that it's no use trying to shape your children the way they would like. be like you when they grow up therefore you'd better educate yourself that's my favorite saying. i've seen any number of parents devoting so much time and effort to raising their children in reality though the children simply mimic their parents sister is that. if a child communicates with gentle people who are themselves outstanding individuals and the child will be like them. that they can use a great secret i'd like to disclose to all fathers is this teaching children is a very interesting thing is there going to be a chance of especially if you achieve some results like if the child learns to read or write or imitate something that you do. as the bank you are to almost put this over here or that it's just it's like organizing a business or getting a promotion or something like that it's really fascinating to realize that you can foster something and show them.

your version. i find it very important to make sure that kids have a grodd view of the world this is about the us i should be afraid of reaching out to other people with different languages or in other countries. if my little son is trying to climb up a hill knowing full well he'd never make it and yet he keeps trying and reaches the top this is like going to paris it's like seeing the world from in a different light. whether men should allow a woman to live with the kids simply because they need a mother by their side is debatable in my opinion. the man woman relationship is built on others with perception we're going to put it plainly supposing i allow that woman to be with her kids they will grow up and go their separate ways but i'll have to stay on with that woman the two i need that lost both very many children have grown up without the care of fathers and mothers but there are none

the worse for that. romance a sort of children have come to see their mother who left them and their father a long time ago. she's brought along her daughter from her new marriage. do you go to school yes. you've brought to be quite big. how are you doing yeah. how's life ok there is so quiet what did you want to ask her how are you know we're good. how are you i am ok your ears aren't frozen i hope one day i said he was all smart boy. some people break up because of a clash of characters with us it was just that our temperaments may have been too

much of the match. we were never given to each other. like you. sometimes at night. i wake up and i start to cry because i remember you. like. you need to ask your father to call me and have him bring you over to me. and a mom didn't want my children to share a home with another man and call him father. were close outs one of the reasons. at first it really became me to know that they were going to be not with me but with him. but now not so much. who are the kids are better off with a man than with me it's really important that a man raises boys. when are you going to come to us again. to visit

or to live with us to live. well i don't know about that. it's not up to muster to sites we'll find out later we'll decide but it's not all of us are do you really want me to leave my husband and child and return to you. from work and i see no reason for that to. you.
