Michelle Obama, A Really Close Second
Filed under: Celeb Parents, In The News
Where do you fall in the priority line-up in your family? If you're like most women, you put everyone else first. Michelle Obama has a better approach; she puts herself "a really close second" after her kids.
In an interview with Katie Couric for Glamour magazine's Woman of the Year issue, the First Lady said it was much more difficult to find a work-family balance when she was a senator's wife. Now that she's in the White House, with all its accompanying staff support, life has gotten easier.
While we all can't have that 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue address, Obama encourages moms to reach out and ask for help where they can find it.
Do you agree with this advice?

Michelle said...I'm not a huge Obama fan but I agree with Mrs. Obama. I think that it is important as moms to not put ourselves completely last all the time. Making time for yourself is important.
