Michelle Obama: Having Children a 'Concession' that Cost Me 'Dreams'
Former first lady Michelle Obama said in her newly-released Netflix documentary Becoming that having children was a “concession” that cost her “aspirations and dreams.” Obam…www.politicopathy.com
Up till now I have always defended the ex-president's wife as a person who received a tremendous amount of criticism she never asked for. I never thought the negative media coverage of her was ever appropriate or called for. Even her stupid statement about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life really didn't phase me all that much I took it more or less with a grain of salt considering the source. But the above link of her expressing regret about being a mother is one of the most hideous attacks on two living children I have ever seen in a public venue. I wonder how her two daughters feel knowing that their mother sees them as two impediments instead of two children? Are you serious bitch? The most sacred and precious privilege available to any human being to be a parent. Why am I not surprised that her value system begins with the word selfish and the ends with the word narcissist? This article has definitely changed my viewpoint of the former first lady.

Not so much.
She said it was a concession, and that she had to sacrifice her dreams.
On that end, I wish I could tell everyone everywhere that message. Life has trade offs. You can't have everything you want.
I've seen high end elite, that sacrificed their entire families, to get their high end careers.
I've known women that got the high paying engineering job, and they lose their husband, and their kids don't like them, and they are complete wrecks by the time they are in their 40s.
So you seem to be imparting some sort of negative to response, when in reality what Michelle is saying is that she realized she simply couldn't have everything she wanted, and also have the children she wanted.
She understood that she had to make a trade off somewhere. And she did. She gave up on some of her dreams, to have a decent family.
That actually speaks well of her. I wish all women that got that concept.
Honestly, I was way more amused by her blaming black people.
“It wasn’t just in this election, but every midterm, every time Barack didn’t get the Congress he needed, that was because our folks didn’t show up,” she added. “After all that work, they just couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. That’s my trauma.”
Wow. This is like Hillary blaming women. I love it.
Amazing how quickly left-wingers blame everyone but themselves for their failures.
Never once even crossed their minds, that maybe not every black person wanted endless socialism. Maybe not everyone wanted their race baiting talk. Maybe stirring up racial tension after decades of decline, wasn't the best winning combination.
Nope nope nope... like all psychotic left-wingers.... it was their fault... those people who supported me, it's all their fault!
*rolls eyes*
So predictable.
Don't know why you're trying to whitewash it. Read carefully, she says nothing about the trade off being " worth it" only that she was held back by parenthood. Disgusting actually.
