For this dream, we constantly saved on ourselves, worked hard. I think in the end we can be proud of ourselves. And the children have grown up, their families have acquired, and a comfortable house was built, writes Lydia.



“Yes, we would like to help children with housing, buy apartments or even houses. But we were not able to do that. We have always hoped only for ourselves. So why can't the children cope without our help?

“The youngest son and his wife have no complaints. Having a child is in no hurry, work, save money for their own housing. But the daughters constantly accuse me and my husband that we do not think about them, that we do not help.”



“One lives with her husband and child in a rented apartment. Another moved into a house where she could not find a common language with her husband’s parents. It is clear that the daughters are not satisfied with such situations and they want to acquire their own housing.”

“But they do not want to borrow apartments, even if we help to pay. But in our house to move and senior, and the middle does not mind.
