Invited to the show “Beyond the cover”, Maticiuc confessed that, although he is anchored in current affairs, it is quite difficult for him to educate his children in such a way as to lead them on the best path, writes Libertatea.
At the moment, the director pays special attention to his son, whom Ana Pandeli has from a previous marriage. He is already a teenager and no longer wants to be present on social media with his parents and younger sisters.
“I try, but I can’t. I mean, it’s hard to keep a fair report. I don’t really get them everything they want. Especially the boy who’s older and wants all kinds of things. Girls still want toys, they don’t want things to show off. The boy has reached the stage where he wants that stuff, brands and stuff.
He is the most modestly dressed boy from our neighborhood and from us on the street. All his friends, all of them, are better dressed. All his friends are 15 and have Rolexes. Their shoes are 1000 euros. The boys are from very rich families, I don’t want to give names, that is, in the sense that they are famous”said Maticiuc.
On the other hand, no matter how much he understands today’s teenagers and no matter how well he remembers that he was also one who splurged on expensive cars and accessories worth thousands of euros, he doesn’t want that for his son either.
“However, the house he lives in is bigger than those wearing 1000 euro shoes, the pool in the yard exists, they don’t live in apartments. They have Rolex, but he acts in movies where the prime minister of the country comes to the premiere of the movie wearing his movie t-shirt.
But it’s hard. I put my foot on the brake, but at the same time the drivers who take him to school are the most famous bodyguards in town. How can I curb it? I explain to him again, but partly he understands, partly not“, he also declared.
The teenager begins to understand that the really important things matter in life, not being concerned about brands and not complaining to parents if he is ridiculed for the lack of luxury items.
“I hope he finds the strength not to be bullied for something. He being, however, by no means bitter. It’s just that he doesn’t get these obvious brands.
do i know Maybe that’s why he beats those at school. That he keeps beating them. But there must also be a limit. But look, he has the latest iPhone. As I have too. is it normal Maybe some would say I’m unconscious”Maticiuc specified.
