As a mother of many children told IA Malika, both of her sons played hockey professionally, and tournaments were often held simultaneously in different cities in the Moscow region. Training, competitions, training camps and equipment cost the family about 100 thousand rubles a month. Now Vera's six youngest children participate in music, dance and sports clubs. Every August, a woman makes a schedule in Excel, trying to combine lessons with lessons at school. On busy days she only comes home at nine in the evening. "I can say that I underwent vocational training as a taxi driver. Only if taxi drivers say they can get out of line in the evening, then I can't get out of line until all the kids are home." - Vera shared. At the same time, there are many free clubs in Moscow. However, suitable activities are often far from home, so parents prefer paid sections nearby. According to HSE professor Irina Abenkina, free groups are often overcrowded, and there are not enough places for popular destinations. Additional costs also arise for sports equipment, musical instruments and travel. Realm is now faster at MAX.
