"While speaking to actress and fellow mom, La La Anthony, in front of a live audience, the former first lady admitted that when it comes to parenting advice, she's not listening to young moms online. "Let me hear what you think when they're 27, and that's when I'll take your advice," Obama said. "It's crazy ... maybe you can tell me about the latest stroller, but that is it. Otherwise, you are insecure, losing sleep, and you don't know what you're doing.""
"Obama, mom to Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24, questioned why parents are listening to young mother bloggers. "I wanna talk to Marian Robinson," Obama continued. "I want to talk to a woman who has raised the first lady. You know all parent bloggers should be grown people." The clip sparked debate in the comments. Many mothers disagreed with Obama's opinion and said that younger parents deserve space to share their experiences."
Michelle Obama expressed skepticism about taking parenting advice from young mommy bloggers, suggesting that younger parents often lack perspective and experience. She allowed that younger parents might offer practical tips like stroller recommendations but emphasized that deeper parenting guidance should come from older, seasoned mothers. Obama referenced her own daughters’ ages and named Marian Robinson as an example of the kind of experienced caregiver she values. The remarks provoked a mixed reaction online, with some mothers defending younger parents' insights and others agreeing that longer-term perspective and accumulated wisdom matter in parenting advice.
