White House advisor Valerie Jarrett reveals Obama always goes home at 6.30pm for family dinner as she discusses her life as a single mother
Jarrett reveals Obama 'believes in working families' and lets employees work from home when they need to Said both Obamas support their many employees who have young families Jarrett herself once decided to give up a high-paying job at a private law firm to dedicate more time to raising her daughter, then only two years old Began working in public policy and once recalled being encouraged by her boss - the mayor - to miss work and attend daughter's Halloween parade It's an office environment where the employees can work from home and the big boss is always out by 6.30pm so he can have dinner with his family.
And that dinner just happens to be taking place at the White House.
President Barack Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said it was the commander-in-chief who made sure to implement a family-first policy that doesn't just apply to the first family.
'The president believes in working families and gives us a lot of flexibility here at the White House,' she told Yahoo! Parenting. 'If you want to work from home, we can do that. A lot of people who here have young children and he at the first lady both support that.'
Jarrett says she is now at a point in her life where she has the time to devote 20 hours a day to work, but it wasn't always like that.

Sorry, but that may be detrimental to his poor children.
I’m calling BS!
Is this before or after bowing toward Mecca for the fifth time each day? Details are important you know.
And in other news, Grace Mugabe, her husband Robert Mugabe (40 years her senior) is a supportive, God-fearing family man who is never without his rosary.
Guess there’s nothing on ESPN at that time worth watching, so he might as well eat dinner.
No way he stays that long in the ESPN room he's in most of the day.
What do they say he goes in at mid morning? I'd say he's out of there by 3. Maybe 4 on a good day.
NONE of these people are normal, there is no Norman Rockwellian feature to enjoy and the white mosque should be burnt down and re-built (in record time for Trump) when they leave
Well, it seems arrive late leave order is the rule of the day.
BTW, nice to take his AF 1 ride on our dime to play golf this weekend near San Diego. I bet those on the 15 were probably happy to see the caravan blocking traffic and causing other mayhem on the roadways too.
EVERYTHING is contrived !
How hard is it to be on time for dinner when you work from home?
"Michael, we keep fooling the rubes and for that you can plan your next va-cay. Where ya gonna go?"
Valerie is a baby mama?
Wonder if the daylight savings time switch interferes with Obama's observance of The Maghrib prayer (it begins when the sun sets, and lasts till the red light has left the sky in the west) and his 6:30 pm dinner time, around this time of the year...
Well, isn’t this a sweet heartwarming story about the President’s puppet!
Doesn’t he start his day about 10 AM? Then there’s a 3 hour lunch and yippee it’s dinner time. He’s a lazy schmuck and Jarrett runs the place.
Now I am really kicking myself for not voting for this fine patriot family man who has similar values to mine.
I see the WH has a roach infestation
Ozzie and Harriet it’s not. One only needs to look at pictures of the Dictator’s family to see the discontent.
