Actress Ekaterina Volkova has a very tight work schedule. But she manages to raise her daughter and build a house.

I work with my daughter Katya, you say in your interviews that because of employment you live almost without days off. When do you communicate with your daughter?.

I try to combine upbringing and work. We are helped very much by my grandparents. But I can not completely abandon the 6-year-old Lisa to my parents: I miss her, and my conscience will not allow me. And leave work ... I often hear from people: they say, gave birth to a child - educate yourself, forget about everything!.

But, excuse me, how do you imagine this? Free in our lives, almost nothing left. I have to turn around. Lisa does not go to school yet, so I try to use this free time. I take with me to the set, to the play. She likes. It is clear that it is not always convenient for me, but what can you do ... Surely, your husband is involved in the education of Lisa ... Of course. Andrew also spends with her as much time as possible. But now it has a great responsibility: the pope builds a house for us. This process continues for a rather long time, and anyone who ever got involved in such an enterprise knows how much it is difficult and costly. Since Andrew is an architect by profession, he took on all communication with foremen, repairmen. However, our house - this is our family business, because no one has canceled the work, so the husband travels as an architect and other objects.

And no carrots!.

Why did they decide to build a house instead of buying an apartment?.

Initially, it really was about the apartment. We searched in the area where parents live, to be closer to them. We looked at the prices - they were frightened. And came to the fact that a full house will cost us about the same amount as a three-room apartment.

Already now, when Lisa and I come there, we understand that it is in this place that we are comfortable, like anywhere else. I agree to live without lamps, without curtains, if only in my home. Toilet, sink is, we will buy beds - what else do you need?.

Building a house is not an easy task. Did you and Andrey have any disagreement about the layout, finishing of the future family nest?.

Of course! At the planning stage, I completely trusted my husband as a professional. And when they studied the details and nuances, they began to argue. Long could not come to a consensus about the kitchen. I generally do not like to cook, but this space is very like it. We connected the kitchen and dining room, and I dreamed that in the middle there was an "island" on which the slab would be located, and next to it - a bar counter.

You cook, and then someone nestles - and you chat. Convenient and beautiful. Andrew in any: "It's impossible. We have gas, and for technical reasons it can not be brought to the center of the kitchen. Or it will cost a lot of money and energy. Ask the foreman if you do not believe me. ". And he says: "What problems? All done ». In general, I defended my "island". Now we are at the home stretch, but I think we will have to face many more.

For example?.

We have the same territory is not ennobled. Andrew believes that you need to plant flowers, beds with carrots and greens to make. I say: "What carrot? !! What for? !! On the site there will be a lawn. Maximum - trees. All! ". "What about parsley?" !! - the husband screams hurtly. "And the fennel?" !! I dreamed that I would have breakfast in the fresh air, I held out my hand and dumped it from the garden. ". I understand him.. But I have flowers in pots on the windowsill do not live, dry, what about parsley something to talk about! All day long such conversations. But we are never bored!.

My personal bodyguard You and your husband are seven years together. Psychologists say that this is one of the crisis stages in family life. Do you agree?.

Every family goes through complexity, it does not happen smoothly or evenly. In fact, all stages are relative. Some families do not live up to the first crisis line, and some of them together for 40 and 50 years. Andrei and I are saved by the fact that we are not every day together. We do not have a standard for many timetables - at eight in the morning they left for work, at six in the evening they came, at the weekend - in a hypermarket for food. I can fly for a few days on tour, so we miss each other.

And we, of course, experienced the crises. Only they were connected not with the number of years lived, but with certain stages that our family passed. It was not easy for us, like any couple, the birth of a child. Since Andrew made me an offer and we got married, we always lived together - it was a carefree and cheerful time. And then there was Lisa. Everything has changed. I almost immediately went to the set, Andrei was not ready for the fact that I had to change sharply: to endure crying at night, and endlessly to roll the carriage along the street, and to share with Lisa my attention.

And I did not have enough strength, because combining the shooting and the newborn child is incredibly difficult. But everything passes, the bad is forgotten, the good remains in the memory. Now we started to think about another child. Andrei says that he understood a lot and will now help me much more actively. I frighten him: "Look here. So, I give birth, and then he is with you ". The husband stoically does not give in to panic and only asks: "This boy will be? Agreed then". Andrew really changed - maybe with the second child everything will be different.

How does he relate to the fact that his wife is a popular actress?.

At first it was difficult. When I started filming "Voronin", I was very jealous of Egor Dronov. Well, I understand Andrei: our Egor romantic screen relations look very believable. Then my husband met the whole crew, they became good friends with Dronov. Over time, Andrew himself became aware. There are times when he works as my bodyguard. If I'm tired, out of shape, do not want to do with selfies fans, comes up and in a strict voice asks: "What problems? !! ". And no problem!.
