Elke Tonscheidt, How do you come to grosseltern.de as an ex-spokeswoman for the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung? If you first set up a software company and run its PR for ten years? Not necessarily. Elke Tonscheidt is an enthusiastic networker and incidentally has been on the road for 25 years as a freelance journalist – she is particularly fond of writing for the blog www.ohfamoos.com, which she founded in 2014 with three women, to report on the good life. How important grandparents can be, she realized, when their son saw the light of day. Since then, several grandmothers and granddaders are playing at his side: patchwork families often make sense one day and hold great potential for topics such as grandparents. The three-member family lives on the border between Düsseldorf and Duisburg.
