Mother of many children Olga Kazakova – about five times happiness and joys of a large family

The connection of generations of Kazakov considered the main family tradition

The owner of the Order of the Mother Olga Kazakova from the village of Zavodskaya Sloboda of the Mogilev district brings up five children. How the villager manages to cope with a large family and with the household, our correspondents learned, having visited her.

The Cossacks have five children. Each with his own character, interests and plans. The eldest daughter Angelina already lives separately, she has her own family and a young son Timothy. So Olga Alexandrovna managed to master another important role - grandmother. At the same time, the youngest daughter Evelina of this energetic and young grandmother is only two years old.

- My husband and I wanted a big family, says Olga. My parents had five of us, a husband of many children.

Alexander works as a tractor driver in the branch of "Vendorozh" RUE "Mogilevenergo", Olga - kitchen worker in the dining room. He is currently on parental leave.

There is no strict division into male and female duties in the house. Alexander can wash dishes and restore order, and children from an early age used to help parents. Seniors cope with lessons on their own, mother checks poems, retellings and tasks that require additional attention. Especially good team spirit manifests itself in autumn, when it comes time to harvest in the family garden. The father teaches his sons how to handle tools, shows how to cope with economic tasks, develops useful skills that will be useful in life. These household chores unite in the same way as family holidays, which come to grandparents and other relatives. The connection of generations is considered the main family tradition.

Parents try to support the interests of each child. Matvey is studying in high school and is preparing to enter the Belarusian-Russian University. With the future specialty, he has not yet decided, but he is already engaged in physics and mathematics, attends the sports section. Younger children tend to be creative. At the local art school, children attend circles of drawing, modeling and music.

Of course, it can be noisy in a big house. There are pranks, disputes and moments when you have to remind about errands. Olga believes it is important that children know their responsibilities, but always feel that they can ask for help.

I couldn't help but ask the chef for his favorite family dish. And that's -- danks! Even in the family love baked potatoes with home pickles.

- We're not foodies. We love simple, hearty food, cooked with our own hands and with love, says the hostess.

I'm interested in the award.

“The Order of the Mother is nice,” she shares. It is important for a woman to know that, in addition to her family, others see her work, that she can count on the help of the state. And our farm helps with the collection of children to school, provides financial support for Mother’s Day. I am lucky with my family, I feel important and needed not only on holidays. I wish my children would be the same. In the meantime, I am sure that no matter who they are, wherever life throws them, they will always know that there is a place where they are always waiting. This is our home.
