We accompanied her on a family vacation to Tyrol
The Boettchers are just inseparable, even when it comes to their holidays! This is mainly due to Grit Boettcher (72) - they are 100% true of the word family man. For her loved ones, she would do anything, even renounce a role, if it were necessary ... Grit, son Tristan (29), daughter Nicole (47) and granddaughter Thalia (8) just spent an unforgettable weekend in the enchanting Lermoos (Tyrol). We talked to the popular actress.
You live together in Munich with your children under one roof - now you can go on holiday together. Do not you get on your nerves with so much closeness? Grit Boettcher : No, if we have enough of each other, then everyone can withdraw. We all live in a house, but everyone has their own flat. If we do not want to see each other, we do not have to. Only when my dog strikes, I know that someone goes out of the house or comes. It's really special when three generations live under one roof ... Grit Boettcher : Not for me. I am so used to it, I do not know it differently. But I can understand that our way of life is strange for strangers. Do you also do a lot with each other? Grit Boettcher : Yes, we like to eat together, for example. Let's meet up in the house with Nicole. She then cooks something delicious using recipes from Jamie Oliver. Or we go down to Tristan and he conjures something out of the wok. And when it comes to me in the middle, I make myself delicious roulades. Many elderly people without partners are not fortunate that their children are so close to them - they are lonely ... Grit Boettcher : Yes, you 're right. But you can also be lonely inside when many people are around you. This is unfortunately another consequence of the age. What is your situation? Grit Boettcher : Thank god very different! My children save me from being alone - and thus from loneliness.
What kind of grandma are you? Grit Boettcher : I'm not a babysitter granny. But I believe that my granddaughters like me and love my "rigor". You can not believe that ... Grit Boettcher : My children told me that as a mother I should have said "no" more often. I never wanted that. I always thought: treat it all. At some point I told my children: If you think I did not educate you enough, then educate yourself. And they did that. They have become great people. I often say "no" to my grandchildren now. They like that because they can rebel against it. If I always say that everything is good, then they would know that's not true. It can not always be good. But when I say that something is good, when it is good and vice versa, then you know that it is true. That's what I like in life too. Do you also learn something from your grandchildren in some situations? Grit Boettcher : Do you learn from your grandchildren? You always learn. Are your grandchildren learning from you? Grit Boettcher : I do not know that. You have to ask my grandchildren. I do not educate, I live before. If you want to look it over, then you should do it. But you have to make your own experiences. Experiences enrich life. I can not take that away from them, they have to do it themselves. You once spoke of an old-shared apartment. What has become of these plans? Grit Boettcher : We said that for fun. Everyone moves into my house and then we look for someone to take care of us, a nurse, for example. That was more a joke. These are all wishes and dreams. Sometimes they are fulfilled and sometimes not. They can even fizzle out without becoming painful. So you do not intend to tackle this yet? Grit Boettcher : No, then I would need more space and my children would have to leave. No I do not want this.
