ENG: “Katya-Matera Isn’t Your Maid,” or Why Children Are Wonderful

Debunking Myths: The author pokes fun at “perfect Instagram photos” and explains that porridge on the walls and chaos in the house are a normal part of life, not a sign that you’re a “bad mother.”
Relationships with others: How to set personal boundaries with relatives (especially those who love to lecture) and how to prevent toxic advice from ruining your mood.
Self-care: Katya emphasizes the importance of self-fulfillment. A woman has the right to hobbies, a career, and rest, because “an empty glass can’t pour for anyone”—if mom is exhausted, everyone will suffer.
Language and Style: The book is written in a very lively, sometimes sharp style, using a mix of standard and colloquial language, which makes it feel like a conversation with your best friend in the kitchen.
