"hundreds on birthday pajama parties"

In many African cultures, the day a child is born is not observed as a special day. Instead, when African children reach a certain age, they are initiated into the community ...this is when they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes... celebrated for groups of children instead of individual children.

Not buying your kids birthday presents? That is beyond strange. What did he have kids for to be photo ops and do the things his wife didn’t want to do. Being 10 and 7 and in charge of putting themselves to bed? Not at my home when the kids were younger.

No CHRISTMAS presents and he professes to believe in the Church of Christ? Excuse me while I BARF!

one of their steadfast house rules is not giving Christmas or birthday presents

This is one step short of teaching the kids that there is no Santa Claus and it's a hard knock life for everyone in the house... Obviously, the children won't deserve presents until they can pay for the presents themselves. And they will only be worthy of their parents unconditional love when they gradate from law school............

Re; the ‘People’ article:

“But Malia says, “Ma, I know there is a Santa because there’s no way you’d buy me all that stuff.” Ma? Ma?? Bwa ha ha ha haaaaa. WTH?

“Michelle’s hidden talent is hoola hooping..” OMG. That image is enough to gag a maggot.

Michelle: “They have to clean up their half of the third floor where they play. They have a closet of toys they have to clean up. They have to practice their piano every day.”
THIRD FLOOR? Third world countries won’t like you having a third floor and piano lessions. That’s a no no.

“So my mom was there, and my mom doesn’t adhere to bedtime. She’s kinda, “Well, maybe you wanna start taking your bath...” But that night, she said she sat down to watch TV with them and they both got up, turned off the TV and left. And my mom was like, “Where are you going?” And they said, “We have got to go to bed early today, Grandma.” And they went downstairs, took their baths and went to bed, and my mom was just stunned.” SPOOKY

“Michelle: Slowly. We talk to them about it (going to live in the White House)
as they are curious. ... They ask about schools and making friends. ... Their anxiety has nothing to do with the White House; it has everything to do with what kids think about: “If I have to go to a new school, will I make
friends and what about my old friendships?” GAG A MAGGOT!
DON’T GET YOUR HOPES UP, MICHELLE.

Oh dear. My oldest kid also gets only $1 a week in allowance and the younger two get only 50 cents each. :-O

I do get them birthday presents though!

He's not cheap - it's a Muslim tradition.
