Maria Boltneva personal life interview 2016

- I believe that the best time for the birth of children is with25 to 33 years, said Maria. - I became pregnant at 28 and by that time had long dreamed of children. I wanted to have a child as a friend, to climb along rooftops and ravines together, ride roller skates and bicycles, travel and explore the world. In my heart, I remained a little girl, a hooligan and a little bit of a divorce, that's why my sons and I (they are now 4 years 8 months old) are never bored together.Photo:Roman KuznetsovWhat I like most is doing sports with the boys. I finally managed to earn enough for a membership to a fitness club, which offers all the pleasures for children: swimming pools, special training. I myself have run and jumped all my life, and now I instill a love of movement in children. The motto "Faster! Higher! Stronger!" is mine. Today Andryusha started asking to go to the gym, I told him: "You're sick", and he replied: "I won't swim, I want to pump up my muscles a little." It's great that the children got involved. Guys should have a beautiful, toned torso. I like such men myself. They should also be strong and persistent. Doing a couple of push-ups "through I can't" is a great workout for willpower. And then, as teenagers, they will know that there is an alternative that is more interesting than drinking beer or sitting at the computer. We go to all the interesting children's events. We visited an oceanarium, an exotarium, a planetarium, and a robot exhibition. On New Year's Eve, the boys saw five performances. They have already developed taste, and liked some of the performances, but not others. The first time I took them to my native Mayakovsky Theater to see a wonderful, kind musical performance called "Mama-Cat" was when they were two years old. And when we were two and a half, we managed to go to Turkey with them and a nanny before the crisis to a hotel where they had previously filmed the movie "Capercaillie". My mother was indignant: "Crazy! Going abroad with triplets! They won't remember anything anyway!" And the boys still remember how they rode the slides and swam in the sea. I dream of having an income that allows me to travel with the children. The first in line is "Legoland" in Denmark. This may sound surprising, but now it's easier for me when I'm alone with the children. They have become such chatterboxes, trying to outshout each other, and it turns into a cacophony of noise. If there are three adults, and each one is also saying their own thing, it is very difficult. And when there are four of us, I feel like I am the captain of the ship and together we are a team. I do not like the word "education", I try to guide the children, not to impose anything on them, so that they come to everything with their own minds. Of course, you can say that you can't swim in cold water. But I think, let the child climb in and check it out himself, maybe he is a walrus and he will like it. I am a different mother, I can sit in a corner and cry, and I can be tough and rude. But first I warn you: the fury awakens in me, thunder and lightning will strike. Three times my nerves gave out, and I shouted: "How much can this go on? Me, a woman, against you, three men!" It is easier with boys, you can use women's tricks from childhood.
