Michelle Obama revealed what topic she refuses to discuss with her daughters during a recent episode of her podcast, IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson.

(snip)

On Friday's special live episode of IMO, Michelle Obama got candid with guest Tina Knowles about parenting her children, noting that there's a specific subject she refused to talk about with them.

"We got to the point at our dinner table where we just didn't talk about school at all," the attorney said. "It would be like, 'OK, you passed.' I didn't want to hear about grades."

"I didn't want to get into that because I didn't know what kind of student Sasha would be," she explained, adding that she didn't want to compare her girls. "So to this day, Malia still feels like I don't give her enough credit, but she's good."

Why? As part of the Obamas, the daughters will be ‘successful’ no matter what they do.

So Big Mike has a rule that you don’t talk about grades, just if they passed or failed. There’s one reason not to talk about grades (if they’re not good). Not a pathway for success. But who needs grades when “mommy” and daddy are the Obamas.

Michelle: “Sasha, you don’t need to worry about grades if you want to get into the best schools and get the best jobs. Ask me how I know.”

” Is Mike going to be doing cases before the Supreme Court?”

Her license was revoked.
