Иметь семью и детей так же не¬об¬хо¬ди¬мо и есте¬ствен¬но, как не¬об¬хо¬ди¬мо и есте-ствен¬но тру¬дить¬ся. Семья из¬дав¬на скреп¬ля¬лась нрав¬ствен¬ным ав¬то¬ри¬те¬том отца, ко¬то¬рый тра¬ди¬ци¬он¬но счи¬тал¬ся гла¬вой. Отца дети ува¬жа¬ли и слу¬ша¬лись. Он за-ни¬мал¬ся сель¬хоз¬ра¬бо¬та¬ми, стро¬и¬тель¬ством, за¬го¬тов¬кой леса и дров. Всю тя¬жесть кре¬стьян¬ско¬го труда с ним раз¬де¬ля¬ли взрос¬лые сы¬но¬вья.
Ру¬ко¬вод¬ство до¬маш¬ним хо¬зяй¬ством было в руках жены и ма¬те¬ри. Она ве¬да¬ла всем в доме: при¬смат¬ри¬ва¬ла за ско¬том, за¬бо¬ти¬лась о пи¬та¬нии, об одеж¬де. Все эти ра-бо¬ты она де¬ла¬ла не одна: даже дети, едва на¬учив¬шись хо¬дить, по¬не¬мно¬гу, вме¬сте с игрой, на¬чи¬на¬ли де¬лать что-то по¬лез¬ное.
Доб¬ро¬та, тер¬пи¬мость, вза¬им¬ное про¬ще¬ние обид пе¬ре¬рас¬та¬ли в хо¬ро¬шей семье во вза¬им¬ную лю¬бовь. Свар¬ли¬вость и не¬ужив¬чи¬вость счи¬та¬лись на¬ка¬за¬ни¬ем судь¬бы и вы¬зы¬ва¬ли жа¬лость к их но¬си¬те¬лям. Надо было уметь усту¬пить, за¬быть обиду, от¬ве¬тить доб¬ром или про¬мол¬чать. Лю¬бовь и со¬гла¬сие между род¬ствен¬ни¬ка¬ми да-ва¬ли на¬ча¬ло любви за пре¬де¬ла¬ми дома. От че¬ло¬ве¬ка, не лю¬бя¬ще¬го и не ува¬жа¬ю-ще¬го своих род¬ных, труд¬но ждать ува¬же¬ния к дру¬гим людям.
To have a family and children is as necessary and natural as it is necessary and natural to work. The family has long been held together by the moral authority of the father, who was traditionally considered to be the head. The children respected the father and were listened to. He was engaged in agricultural work, construction, procurement of wood and firewood. All the severity of the peasant's work was shared with him by the grown-up sons.
The leadership of the household was in the hands of the wife and mother. She led everyone in the house: looked after the cat, took care of food, clothes. She did not do all these works alone: even children, having barely learned to walk, gradually, together with the game, began to to do something useful.
Kindness, patience, mutual forgiveness of resentment in a good family in mutual love. The quarrelsomeness and lack of livability were considered to be an indication of destiny and aroused pity for their carriers ... It was necessary to be able to give in, to forget the insult, to answer with good or to keep silent. Love and agreement between relatives and friends, yes, the beginning of love outside the home. It is difficult to expect respect for other people from a person who does not love and does not respect his relatives.
