Yet another reason to love Michelle Obama


When asked about motherhood in an interview for Prevention magazine, she said she actually learned what not to do from her mom, which is to sacrifice your entire being for your kids:

“She’d say being a good mother isn’t all about sacrificing. It’s really investing and putting yourself higher on your priority list.”
“Throughout my life, I’ve learned to make choices that make me happy and make sense for me. . . So I have freed myself to put me on the priority list and say, yes, I can make choices that make me happy, and it will ripple and benefit my kids, my husband and my physical health.”
That’s hard for women to own. We’re not taught to do that. It’s a lesson that I want to teach my girls.”
