Michelle Obama "my kids ruined my life "


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.

Seriously, what the hell is she talking about? "Concession" implies that she made a sacrifice as a favor to someone else. Who? Her husband? The world, in order to add so much to everyone's existence?

Giving birth to my children certainly limited my choices in life by bringing with them responsibilities and obligations I had to meet. I never thought of it as 'conceding" anything, though. Becoming a parent was a life choice I made, and like all choices in life, it closed some doors and opened others and defined which path I was taking through my future. Again, ALL life choices do that, not just having children.
Apparently Michelle didn’t understand what happens when you have children. How could she be so ignorant?
what really stands out in my mind is the fact that she did not see her husband's success as her own. That speaks to an extremely deep and remorseless form of narcissism for which I can imagine no cure.

I didn’t like her from the get go.

She and Ears did an interview in 2008, before he won the nomination, that turned my stomach. She claimed O could be murdered just going out to get gas for the car. Insinuating whites would just kill blacks on a whim. I thought wtf at the time. Does she think it’s 1880 and she lives in Mississippi?

I’ve searched for that interview but can’t find it. I thought it was on 60 Minutes

Agree. Imagine those two with their huge egos and narcissistic personalities. I bet shit goes on 24/7.

Wow- so you just lied about what Michelle Obama said.

The thing that really changed it was the birth of our children. I wasn’t really ready for that. That really made it harder,” the first lady explained. “Something had to give and it was my aspirations and dreams.”

“I made that concession not because he said ‘you have to quit your job,’ but it felt like ‘I can’t do all of this so I have to tone down my aspirations, I have to dial it back,’” she added.


Not exactly the first professional woman who had to put aside her own professional aspirations in order to support her kids and husband. And if you want to know how her daughters feel about her- you can read about how they gush all over her.

Really Jo- you have always defended Michelle?

You mean like this quote of yours from last month?

Michelle Obama was an affirmative action college student who couldn't write a decent thesis on their own even if she had space-age software to help her. She's certainly not stupid but she's far from the Mensa member you imagine her to be. The same can be said for her moral character there's nothing outstanding about it in any way shape or form she's just another black woman who wishes she was Halle Berry.

I wouldn't wish that 'defense' on anyone.

And beyond this, she is anti-American as she said herself that she is not proud of America.
Tell this to the survivor's of Omaha Beach and their relatives.

Not only is she a super racist but she's an unloving parent. Her only initiative as first lady was eating right which is a great cause but then she gained 100 lbs. and turned her cause into a hypocritical joke. If I ever had doubts about whether she beat the shit out of Barack, I don't now.

Jo

So you are suggesting that she regrets the concession? Or that she didn't believe it was worth it?

Because the reality is, women who don't believe the concession is worth it..... don't make the concession.

Unless she says she regrets it somewhere, I'm going to give people that I don't know personally, the benefit of the doubt. I think she was merely stating that she came to the realization that she simply couldn't have the Disney version of life, where she gets everything she wants in life.

If you have more evidence than this, I'll consider it. But based on what is written here, I don't see anything wrong with her statements on the fact she had to give up her dreams because she had children.

Right, and it is a concession. Having kids forces you to make some concessions in life. I'm not seeing that statement alone, to be all that damning.

I'm pretty sure she understood what happens, but she doesn't appear to have understood the correct perspective from which to view it. Which is why I'm interested in her comment. Michelle Obama herself is largely irrelevant now that her husband is no longer President, and I for one am perfectly happy for her to continue being largely irrelevant forever.

However, her comment highlights the disturbing mindset of the feminist movement and of our culture, which has been poisoned by the feminist movement. We have gone from "Women should be able to have other dreams besides being a wife and mother" to "Women MUST have other dreams besides being a wife and mother" to "Motherhood isn't a dream at all. It's a parasite which sucks all your dreams away, and OCCASIONALLY, with very bad grace, you might consent to tolerate it".

In this, I think I am more typical of women than Mrs. Obama is. When I was young and dreamed of what I wanted to do with my life, having a family to love was one of those dreams. In every adult life, there come occasions when you must choose to pursue Dream A, and to abandon Dream B in order to pursue Dream A, because you can only do one of them. I decided that I wanted to pursue the dream of a family more than I wanted to pursue the other things I could have. Pure and simple. And I believe that is the case for most women who are married and/or have children.

Which makes it very troubling that so many women, those who have families and those who don't, have been convinced to see marriage and motherhood not as a valid dream to pursue, but as a sacrifice of dreams.

The use of the word "concession" by itself indicates that. Because it's not a "concession" at all.

Right, and it is a concession. Having kids forces you to make some concessions in life. I'm not seeing that statement alone, to be all that damning.

I already addressed how this is not the correct way to view it.

I did not "make concessions" for my children. I chose the better of two options.

Hmmm... That doesn't say what the thread title does, now does it.
 
...
Those statements are utterly meaningless without the context that they were presented in.

Considering there is less than a mynute chance that anyone nay saying the out of context quotes are actually going to watch Obama talk about herself over an hour (including me) the thread is rather pointless...

She really is not that good. Really. I am still waiting for the greatness promised by extreme affirmative action, extreme feminism and extreme gay agendas. New ideas were supposed to be had by this inclusion. It just seems to be massive socialism policies with the people controlled by authoritarian rule.
