Already having a serious experience of paternity, the actor is sure: the generally accepted opinion that many children contain very expensive, is greatly exaggerated:
... between two, three, four children, there is no difference in the content. One child is expensive. Two - not more expensive, because the second are old things.
In an ideal family, according to the artist, there must be at least three children. Then the children go "to autonomy": they help each other, the elders take care of the younger ones and ... "knock."
The actor admits that he and his wife encourage "rapping" within the framework of their family, because the children give the parents the necessary information so that those who know all the latest news can prevent some negative consequences of ill-considered children's actions in time.
At the same time among brothers and sisters there is an unspoken rule according to which they will not disclose to their parents any personal secrets of each other:
It is unlikely that any of the girls will deeply immerse us and Oksana into the personal life of the sisters, to tell delicate details. And the economic nonsense, which we, therefore, can learn, is excellent. Real self-regulation.
In the family of Okhlobystiny very close relations - parents communicate with children on an equal footing. Both Ivan and Oksana try to be delicate even in small things: the spouses consider it disrespectful to read to their children, for example, the personal correspondence of the guys in social networks.
Ivan Okhlobystin always dreamed of a big family
It can be said with certainty that having overcome many life difficulties, Ivan Okhlobystin fulfilled his main dream - he created a big friendly family. According to the actor, it is this state of affairs that is considered "normal than normal":
... if people allow themselves to have children, that's good. Speaks at least about their health and optimism!
The artist admits that he is trying to make sure that the main one in the family is his wife, since Oksana keeps everything in the house of the Okhlobystins. In a joke Ivan tells his wife that she will never divorce her at least because in that case he will have to hire a whole staff, from teachers to cleaners. With Oksana Arbuzova, the actor has been together for more than 20 years. Viewers know Ivan's wife as an actress, who in 1989 played a major role in the drama "Accident - the daughter of a cop."
