      i see a little sadness in Michelle's eyes but... it's complicated... i don't think her mum is 'all that' wise... again complicated... she did the absolute best with what she had and in some ways it worked... And again complicated. Part of her mum's wisdom is in knowing that she isn't the blueprint for everyone, no one is. But a hodge-podge of tools is enough for me.

    Such incredible parenting gems. I grew up with parents that shielded me from their imperfections. I have a young niece now and I told her “ adults don’t always know everything, she laughed at me like “ yea right”. Children really think that there is a switch that goes off when you turn a certain age and you will know everything and have everything figured out. As a 30 year old woman I’m still trying to unlearn that mindset.

Alot was because my parents English was limited so I handled alot things on my own. But now as an adult it's helped me be independent.

    This will show woman that it's not always about how you look....it's about how you come to the table,
    What you brought to the table to consume such a life giving meal.

    That sounds so selfish, but my parents were like that as well. We had to figure out what to do after high school and how to do it.

    • @TonyaMadeLiving
      @TonyaMadeLiving Před rokem

      Encouragement is different from taking ownership. I'm pretty sure both of Mrs. Obama's parents encouraged her and her brother to think about and have a plan for how they would support themselves as adults. Mrs. Robinson raised them with eye to their being responsible adults and part of that was requiring them to own their education - research career options, take the ACT/SAT, apply to schools, etc. If the parent is in the drivers seat for major life decisions the child will have a hard time making decisions on their own. I think it worked out for both of their kids as it did for me.
