Are you a Single Mom like Michelle Obama?

Michelle Obama described herself as a “single momâ€_x009d_. No, Obama and Michelle are not parting their ways. What she meant to say was that she is the one who takes the responsibility of the kids on her shoulders mostly.

She says, “When you have a husband or a partner who’s either traveling for work or has huge responsibility, and I give my husband credit — he knows who their friends are, he knows what their schedule is. But he’s not making the calls to the dance studio to figure out what classes they’re taking next year. I think it’s important for both parents to shoulder that [responsibility].â€_x009d_

While both parents are involved there has to be a primary caretaker and if one of the parent has a more demanding role than the other with extensive travel and late hours the other one needs to take the lead. I have tremendous respect foe the First Lady who has to manage her social & professional commitments along with her children’s demanding schedule. A special mention to her always in vogue power dressing. Think she plays her part really well.
