Former US First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed relief about not having a male child with her husband, former President Barack Obama, citing concerns about the challenges of raising boys in today's society.
During a recent episode of her IMO podcast, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, Michelle made the candid admission while discussing parenting challenges with radio personality Angie Martinez.
"I'm so glad I didn't have a boy," Michelle stated during the conversation, which explored the unique difficulties parents face when raising male children in contemporary society.
When Martinez inquired why the Obamas didn't try for a son to complement their two daughters, Sasha and Malia, Michelle responded with characteristic humor: "Because he would've been a Barack Obama!"
Though Martinez suggested that "a baby Barack" would have been "amazing," the former First Lady indicated she "would've felt for him," referring to the hypothetical son under discussion.
The conversation highlights the Obamas' thoughtful approach to parenting and Michelle's ongoing reflections about family dynamics, particularly in the context of their high-profile status.
Michelle Obama has previously spoken candidly about her family life, including challenges in her marriage and her experiences as First Lady during Barack Obama's eight years in office.
The IMO podcast continues to serve as a platform for the former First Lady to share personal insights and engage in meaningful conversations about family, society, and personal growth.
