I'm pretty darn thrilled that Michelle Obama has joined CafeMom and is answering moms' questions. I think my favorite so far has to be this one from Mellypoo. She asked about how Michelle and Barack manage to give their daughters' education attention when they're both so busy, often running literally to the ends of the earth. How do you and the President, as a parenting team, balance the incredible demands on your time with the growing educational needs of your daughters? How do you both ensure that your presence is felt at times when duty to the nation requires one or both of you to be half the world away from them on any given day? Are you able to sit down with the girls and participate in their homework assignments with regular frequency, or even daily? I have to admit, Michelle's answer made me just a little bit envious. It sounds like they make it work because they're fortunate enough to have a third parent in their family!![]()
