      I continue to be amazed by Michelle Obama, because she overcame so much. And she shares how she survived those tough times. And I’m so glad we’ve gotten a chance to know the authentic Michelle, because they judged her before they knew her. And when they made wrong judgments against her, they then went about trying to find anything to support their ugly biases. However, through it all, she remained a class act far above the racial slurs and even when they attacked her girls for no reason. My respect for this woman keeps growing!👍🏼🌹

      NPR is corrupt. Barrack Obama started six wars whose administration used legislation to propagandize Americans to keep reality from people. No wonder our young society quit too soon Dr. These people use corporate programming and propaganda to create toxicity.
      Can you name me the six wars? Are you aware of the Smith and Mundt Modernization Act of 2012? You are a Dr. so I expect you to do your research.

    My mom never trusted me, she let me do things only because she was too busy with her work and social life. I had to be independent only because she wanted to get rid of the parenting burden. She never wanted kids and shouldn't have any, I didn't realize it until my mid 30s, once I realized and accept the fact that I am an unwanted child, the confusion, anger, and conflicts are all clear and gone. I can now face myself and be confident that I did beyond than what I should have done, and I am proud of myself.

    I have an unpopular opinion. My parents are very hands off, I.e. allowing me to own my own decisions, taking my own battles, and I’m not liking it. I have less security comparing to many of my peers. I think parents still need to provide a safe net, it’s very important for children that are exploring in unknown territory to know it won’t be the end of the world and their mom&dad is still there whenever they need comfort or advise or plan B.

    • @chavonjackson4109
      @chavonjackson4109 Рік тому +13

      I feel Mrs Obama still had the safe net. Although their mom was hands off, it didn't mean that she wasn't there as a guide; a present help. I think her definition means not to coddle. It's like a Mother Bald Eagle. She tips the nest to see her babies fly. As they're trying to fly she hovers underneath to give them the confidence in their wings. Since she sees they dont have it, she carries them back up to the nest and tips it again until she sees they have their wing strength.

    As with "Becoming", this book has really changed me and I'm not even half way through. The first thing that really made me think deeply was when Michelle spoke about the pressure on black people who excel to never mess up. That is so unfair. No-one wants to mess up, but having people waiting for you to fail in some area so that they can blame your race is just horrendous.

Misses Obama sometimes got unfair criticism. I think people may not have been as thrilled to have a black first lady.

    I'm not a parent and probably never will be, but if I were ever to become one by chance or by choice, I will follow Michelle Obama's advice to give them as much freedom as they can take while always being there for them. My parents, to their credit, tried very hard to be good parents (and were for the most part), but they could be suffocating at times.

    Love the message. Can't wait to pickup the book. If we don't vote than we can't complain. Michelle Obama has always been an inspiration to me.
