Overview

• On the latest episode of IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, she discussed parenting with guests Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade.
• She recalled Malia making time to engage her father, even asking policy questions like “Tell me about Syria” in the White House Treaty Room.
• She described Sasha as more independent and “like a cat,” noting Barack at times called their younger daughter “difficult.”
• Her takeaway was that parents should “be a chameleon,” adjusting their approach to each child’s temperament rather than using one style for all.
• The remarks were widely picked up by media outlets, and separate public speculation about the couple’s marriage remains unsubstantiated, as Barack publicly celebrated Sasha’s birthday in June.
