Vicky Hadjivasileiou discusses childhood pressure in interview with mother

Greek presenter Vicky Hadjivasileiou appeared in a joint interview with her mother, Chrysa, on the television program ‘Happy Day’. During the discussion, Hadjivasileiou reflected on her upbringing and the evolving relationship with her mother.

Hadjivasileiou described feeling significant pressure during her childhood and adolescence, noting that her mother insisted on academic perfection. She recalled spending weekends reviewing lessons, such as Latin and grammar, which she stated was exhausting and oppressive, though she acknowledged it contributed to her academic success. She even mentioned that the anxiety regarding school performance still affects her sleep.

The presenter noted that their relationship shifted and improved once she became a mother herself. She explained that this transition helped them understand each other better and allowed her to avoid applying the same high-pressure academic demands to her own children.
