Michelle and Barack seem to be chilled parents who probably gave their children the liberty to express themselves as individuals. Perhaps this notion is wrong, we are soon to find out in a bit!

Per The Blast, the former First lady, during an interview for the release of her book "The Light We Carry" disclosed how her husband accepted the reality of things, knowing his daughters had attained the age of being in relationships. 

Addressing the issue herself before shifting the focus to Barrack, she said, "I think it's wonderful. I want them to know what they want and who they are in a relationship. And that takes trying on some people".

As for the former president of the USA, the Attorney confirmed that he was "good with it" too. Buttressing her point, she added, "Look, they are 24 and 21. They were in high school. They went to prom. They've lived life. And he's learned how to be a concerned Black father, but not crazy." The mum of two further described her children as being grown-up women. In her words,

"They're doing great. Proud of them. They survived eight years growing up in one of the harshest spotlights there is. And they are good, decent, normal young women who are trying to be impactful in the world, and they are the best of friends. Couldn't ask for anything else".
