The Patichenko Family: A Love Story with Four Little Superheroes
Author: The Carry-Atkinson-Ricky-Lee Show
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! Buckle up as we take a joyous ride through the whirlwind that is family life. You know, the one where chaos reigns supreme—especially when your evenings are not filled with Netflix and chill but rather “who moved the board game?” and “no, that’s not how you play!”
Meet Sergei: The Real-Life Super Dad
We’ve got the delightful Sergei Patichenko, who’s not just a dad but the head of his own galaxy! Yes, a father of four—what an achievement! There’s Sasha and Yaroslav, the two eldest daughters who are surely keeping their dad at the end of his wits, and let’s not forget Rodion and the tiny tornado, Seraphim, who are perfecting the art of chaotic sibling competition. It’s a family structure reminiscent of an Olympic sport—teamwork, high stakes, and just a hint of dysfunction.
“Anna may not have changed much…but no, she had rich emerald green hair, I also had long hair… below my shoulder blades,” recalls Sergei when he reflects on the early days. A beautiful metaphor for life in parenting—one moment our hair is vibrant, the next, we’re pulling it out by the roots just trying to make everyone dinner!
From Dads to D-Day Schedules
With each child came a new level of responsibility for Sergei. Can you hear the ‘dun dun dunnn’ music playing in the background? Because with that responsibility comes endless commitment, early mornings, and a debilitating sense of “what did I get myself into?”
“When he says: I’ll rest there… Yes, okay, rest. But after two hours everyone already understands that there will be no rest for objective reasons…” Anna humorously states. This isn’t just a family; it’s an action-packed sitcom where every episode ends with Sergei frantically running off to find lost homework or hungry kids.
The Art of Multitasking
Now picture this: the house of the Patichenko family is bustling chaos with love at its core. It’s not just about surviving; it’s about thriving together—albeit through board games, tea chats, and movie marathons. Doesn’t that sound like a new reality show waiting to happen? “Keeping Up with the Patichenkos” perhaps?
They’ve got conversations that could fill libraries and board game nights to rival any game show—imagine family feuds scaling up to full-on brawls over which version of Monopoly is the “real one.”
A Serious Note on Happiness
It’s not always rainbows and board game wins. There’ve been moments it felt like the world was crumbling around them. But rather than let the kids take the fall, they champion the art of conversation and listening—making sure everyone has a voice. Who would have thought parenting could be such advanced diplomacy?
As Sergei aptly puts it, “A father is, first of all, about responsibility.” It’s those struggles that often stitch the family closer, like that set of old jeans you can’t part with.
Why We Love It
As if this wasn’t enough, Sergei is proudly labeled a superhero—even has a special mug to prove it! I wonder if it holds coffee or coffee-flavored chaos? Amidst all the hard work, the familial love shines through and just like that, we find strength in those loving eyes. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s hilarious.
So what’s the takeaway?
A large family is hard work. But when love looks you in the eyes, you can indeed move mountains—or at least the mountain of laundry piling up in the corner. So here’s to the Patichenko family, and all families out there juggling responsibility, chaos, and a whole lot of love! Remember, if parenting doesn’t kill you… it just makes for a great story!
Thanks for tuning in, folks! Until next time, remember to keep those superheroes in your life close, and maybe invest in a good coffee maker!

In a child’s imagination, dad is usually a super hero. But what is it like for them when there are four kids in the family?
When dad is a reliable support, and you are the whole world to him! U Sergei Patichenko – the whole galaxy: five main people: eldest daughters Sasha And Yaroslavah, son Rodion, two-year Seraphim and the love of life, my closest friend – my wife Anna. Their story began more than 20 years ago… They met at a friend’s birthday party and haven’t been apart for a day since then.
«Anna maybe she didn’t change much… but no, she had rich emerald green hair, I also had long hair… below my shoulder blades. At that time, I was simply the categorical opposite of the man who was in her head… I didn’t have any goals, I just lived, enjoyed life,” said Sergey Patichenko.
With the advent of each child, Sergei’s life took on more and more meaning. Now he has his own business – he has someone to strive for! Always – non-stop, early rises even on weekends.
“When he says: I’ll rest there… Yes, okay, rest, but after two hours everyone already understands that there will be no rest for objective reasons… someone needs to be taken somewhere, someone needs to go somewhere, someone… then I called, some guests, some interesting events… So no, lying on the couch is not about us! You see, he has no time to lie on the couch, he is constantly on the move,” shared Anna Patichenko.
But this frantic rhythm is for happiness. And it’s in the family Patichenko not on camera, sincerely. It is impossible to play off the sparkle in the eyes. When you have so many people behind you, live at maximum speed, says Sergeyyou learn very quickly. A father is, first of all, about responsibility.
For family Sergey – a superhero, he even has a special mug – last year’s gift for Father’s Day. But it wasn’t always good; you also have to fight for happiness, especially for something so big. There were crises and moments when everything seemed to be falling apart… It wasn’t the children that helped save each other, but the ability to speak and… hear.
All life together… Breakfast and dinner, intimate conversations over tea, reading books, family watching movies. Family Patichenko also loves board games. For them, it’s relaxation when everyone is nearby, and not everyone on their own.
A large family is hard work, but when loving eyes look at you, you have the strength to move mountains.
