When it comes to motherhood, former First Lady Michelle Obama has one piece of advice for Meghan Markle: “Savour it all.”
Meghan, who welcomed son Archie Harrison in May, said she was left “somewhat speechless” when the questions she sent Obama to answer for the back page of British Vogue‘s September issue (which Meghan guest-edited!) were returned “as a thoughtful, reflective and beautifully curated narrative – a gentle reminder not of how but of why she has become such a globally respected public figure.”
Meghan revealed that the two women discussed the project “over a casual lunch of chicken tacos and my ever-burgeoning bump.” And the final result includes a lot of compelling parenting advice for the new royal mom.

The former first lady goes on to explain the differences in her two daughters, 21-year-old Malia and 18-year-old Sasha.
“Motherhood has taught me that, most of the time, my job is to give them the space to explore and develop into the people they want to be. Not who I want them to be or who I wish I was at that age, but who they are, deep inside,” she said. “Motherhood has also taught me that my job is not to bulldoze a path for them in an effort to eliminate all possible adversity. But instead, I need to be a safe and consistent place for them to land when they inevitably fail; and to show them, again and again, how to get up on their own.”

This is why I shoved their hands in a pot of boiling water and then drank the soup. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm! - Mike.
You mean like private schools in D.C.?
Taxpayer funded vacations?
Choice internships/jobs?
College admission to pretty much anywhere they wanted because of the family name?
In the Mooch’s own words, she said “I would go to the gym at 6:00 so that Barack had to take care of (insert baby’s name)”!! I think she said she even SNEAKED out of the house!!
Micheal?
Big Mike.
I’ve yet to see any pregger photos of Big Mike...hmmmm, I wonder why?
Funny how that works out. It’s the hard stuff that makes the most memories. Handing children off at bathtime and during the hard stuff will cause you to lose a lot of their
sweetest times.
Good grief - what a bunch of sappy tripe! Real people don’t talk that way - now we know! I guess that’s why she allowed a sleepover in the WH the night before the inauguration of Donald Trump - couldn’t say no - didn’t want to control her daughters blah blah blah!
Markle is fast becoming despised in the UK as she is recognised as nothing but a Me, Me, I, disguised as an SJW. Harry bought a lemon. Doubt he’ll keep it.
I think MM carried and delivered her kid. MO rented/bought hers in Morocco. I don’t think MO has a maternal instinct. Of course, that could be because MO in a guy.
