Michelle Obama revealed Barack Obama found it more “difficult” to raise his youngest daughter, Sasha. The former first lady said that her oldest daughter easily bonded with Barack, discussing topics like Syria and generally being a “pleaser.” “I’d say this to Barack...our oldest Malia is very much...going to figure out...who you are, what do you like, and let’s discuss,” said in the latest episode of her podcast “IMO With Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson“ Wednesday. But their younger daughter, Sasha, 24, did not share those tendencies. ”Sasha is like a cat. She’s like, don’t touch me, don’t pet me. I’m not pleasing you. You come to me, you know? And Barack’s like, well, she’s difficult. I was like, no,” Michelle said. Instead, her advice was to be flexible, comparing parenting to being a “chameleon.” Despite the difficulties of parenting, the former president often takes to social media to boast about his family.

I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you.”
