Rosa Syabitova was shocked by the expenses for her granddaughter: “I sincerely sympathize with the youth”

In the summer, Roza Syabitova became a grandmother for the first time. Her daughter Xenia gave birth to a girl, who was named Mira. The main matchmaker of the country does not hide: the birth of a child is not a cheap pleasure. Syabitova tries to minimize costs. Rosa spoke about how this works out in an exclusive interview with MK.

– I love money very much and I always follow the main rule: “Money loves an account.” We calculated all the expenses in advance, even before the birth of Mirochka. When the first child appears, the first granddaughter, of course, on emotions you grab everything that you think you need from the store shelves. As a result, you buy a lot of unnecessary things. We have tried to avoid this. I keep track of money and I’m glad that I have Ksyusha the same. We have a business book in which we record all our purchases. We don’t spend more than we earn. This is the main rule of a good hostess. In addition, we try to minimize costs.

– How can they be minimized?

– Xenia, for example, was given various playpens in good condition, pillows for feeding – they have already saved. When Ksyusha was offered, she asked me: “Mom, how do you look if I take some things from my friends?” I didn’t mind. Give – take! Why not? This tradition existed even in my time. And I’m glad she’s still alive. We have things that Mirochka slipped through. I put them in a special box for future grandchildren. To further minimize costs.

– You mentioned that you spend 200 thousand on diapers alone!

– Yes, diapers really cost a lot. In my time, when I gave birth to my children, there were no diapers. We took gauze, rolled it into six or ten layers and made diapers ourselves. I remember when I was waiting for Ksyusha, I had enough time. I even cross-stitched them. She sewed 100 diapers herself: there were both disposable and reusable ones. The child does not care what is under the booty. The main thing is to be dry and comfortable.

– Do you often communicate with your granddaughter?

– Mirochka lives with us on a rotational basis: a week or two – in Moscow, the remaining time I have in a country estate. Because of this, by the way, our expenses have doubled. We have two strollers, two beds. My crib is worth 20 thousand. Ksenka has a wooden one in Moscow for 8,000. I spent 60,000 rubles on a stroller. I have it triple. I chose specially with large, massive wheels so that it can easily pass through country off-road. Ksenka bought a stroller for twenty thousand. She is light and agile. And raise my fig!

– There is an opinion among the people that the stars buy exclusively branded items for their children and grandchildren!

– We don’t have that. The clothes are very expensive as well. When I look at prices, I sincerely sympathize with the youth, because it all costs a lot of money. Our clothes are simple and high quality. We immediately decided: we don’t need show-offs. Sometimes I watch bloggers on social networks who say that they bought their baby a T-shirt for 15-20 thousand. And I don’t understand why? These expenses are meaningless! The child does not care if he is in trend or not. The main thing is to be warm, dry and comfortable. My Ksenka understands this.

– Rosa, be honest: do you have enough money for your granddaughter now?

– Enough. But, in the end, if there is not enough, we will take another job and earn money with the whole family in order to provide Mirochka with the most necessary things.

Who does Mira look like?

“There is an amazing story here. My mother, when I gave birth to a son, said that he was a copy of dad. Our mother-in-law showed me childhood photos of my husband. We looked and the truth: “Denis is one in one father.” I was glad then: “Now they won’t say that the child is not theirs.” When she gave birth to Xenia, she was – one to one mother-in-law. With Mirochka it was different. When she was a month old, my in-laws came. And we all tried to figure out who the baby looked like. For some reason it seemed to me that the granddaughter was very similar to my Ksyusha. I found her photos and realized that I was mistaken. She looks like my favorite son-in-law. The only thing is that such a moment arose …

– Which moment?

My brother-in-law has green eyes. And I really want my granddaughter to have brown ones. I think brown eyes are so cute! They have eyes like beads! Miroslava is growing very active with us, with character. We all circle around her, smile and wave (laughs). We have full cooperation with her. I’m glad we’re on the same wavelength. I talk to her a lot. She is very fond of lullabies and sung songs such as, for example, “Across the valleys and over the hills” …. I sing to her every day. For the sake of her granddaughter, she became a singer (smiles). Sometimes I rock her and sing. Look, I fell asleep. But as soon as I stop singing, she immediately opens her eyes and looks at me with such an expression! Like, well, why are we silent? My granddaughter brought joy to our lives and I am very happy that we have her.
