Michelle and Barack Obama: Punctuality was a problem in their marriage

Barack Obama (63) particularly strained his wife’s nerves with a quirk at the beginning of her marriage. Michelle Obama (61) tells her brother Craig Robinson in the fact that her husband used to have a little problem with punctuality.

Accordingly, Michelle and Barack Obama understood different things. “Barack had to get used to what was punctual for me,” the former first lady expresses it diplomatically.

If it was time to open an appointment, her husband would have started “standing up and going to the toilet” or similar things that let her come too late. “I said: ‘Young, boy, departure time at three o’clock means that you have done all of this until then. Don’t start looking for your glasses at three o’clock.'”

Apparently an important topic for Michelle, as her children also had to learn. Malia Obama (26) and Sasha Obama (23) knew that the punctuality of their mother is important and are therefore always “early on” if they did something together. “You have learned to follow it,” said Obama.

In the meantime, Barack Obama has also accepted his wife’s schedule. “He improved in 30 years of marriage,” she said in the podcast. And makes it clear that he also had no other option: “That was a ‘you have to adapt” “.

Michelle Obama’s new podcast and her brother celebrated its premiere on Wednesday (March 12). In the format, the siblings offer themselves as “trustworthy guides” for their listeners. “Write to Michelle and Craig to get your advice on questions about career, love, parenthood and beyond,” says Spotify. New episodes should appear every week.
