One day in the life of a young Moscow mother

A photojournalist and artist, as well as a young mother of two children, Yulia Skorobogatova once heard the answer of one of her friends to her well-founded complaint "I'm tired, it's hard for me".: "Well, you don't do anything, you just stay at home with the child." Then Julia decided to make a series of photos that clearly demonstrates everything that a young mother faces every day.

"Yes, to some extent my friend is right - I don't have to get up early in the morning five days a week to rush to the other end of Moscow, shaking in a subway car like a herring in a jar. Or sit in traffic and listen to the same music on an iPod. I don't have to do work tasks and follow orders. I stay at home — and yes, I don't do anything! What a pleasure!

Now I am on maternity leave, and all my days are like twins. I will find out that today is a day off only when I see my husband at home during the day, and not at work."

Talented Yulia Skorobogatova told with the help of a photo series about the difficulties faced by a young mother. By the way, the photo project also became Yulia's student work for the Moscow School of Visual Arts. We are sure that those who have already experienced it for themselves will definitely understand what it is about, but those who have not yet had time to have children — well, be prepared.

Some days start at 9 am, some at 5.

I wake up to the fact that the air around me is vibrating with life.

I still use the most natural product to feed Vasilisa.

I'm never alone, NEVER.

Sometimes my daughter gets tired of our daytime vigils, and I have the opportunity to finish my morning chores.

The sleep break doesn't last long, so I'm trying to get it done as soon as possible. And it's best to finish things quickly and at the same time.

I try to feed my family healthy food, and most importantly, on time.

Vasilisa is still too young to reread all these books about healthy and nutritious food, so for now she trusts my opinion.

We cook together in the kitchen: I'm on the table, Vasilisa is under.

After breakfast Vasilisa helps me take care of the garden on the balcony.

We like to get out of the house, and especially like to dress up before going out.

Waiting in line at the clinic is never boring — I always have a couple of toys in store.

I always leave the playground in the yard with a full set of useful tips on parenting, health and feeding from well-read neighborhood moms.

On the way back, we turned into a beauty salon, which is located in the basement. Vasilisa is never bored in such places.

Diapers, wet wipes and cream — and how could we live without these three?

In the store Vasilisa chews a label with the price of her favorite clothes.

I'm trying to help my eldest daughter follow fashion trends.

We always have lunch together, and each has its own separate table.

Vasilisa is very neat, she loves to wash after dinner.

No one canceled household duties.

Vasilisa loads and unloads the washing machine, advises how best to hang clothes to dry, controls how I iron Dad's shirts.

I try to listen to her advice.

If I manage to do everything on time, I can sit at my laptop and even check my mail.

Vasilisa takes hygiene very seriously, so when I take a shower, the door is always open in case my daughter suddenly wants to know if I use enough soap.

And Vasilisa herself prefers a bubble bath.

My daughter loves me very much, and she likes to play with me.
