Mrs Robinson said she raised adults not children, this simple statement is incredibly profound and one which all parents could learn lessons from. What an amazing woman. ❤
I want more from Mrs. Robinson 😮 👍🏼
Are you this dense?
Michelle’s mother speaks with so much grace and gentleness. She’s so wise. I can listen to her all day!
I agree!
She must be a teacher. She just has that thing.
i see a little sadness in Michelle's eyes but... it's complicated... i don't think her mum is 'all that' wise... again complicated... she did the absolute best with what she had and in some ways it worked... And again complicated. Part of her mum's wisdom is in knowing that she isn't the blueprint for everyone, no one is. But a hodge-podge of tools is enough for me.
@@angelicaterry3367 Beloved that’s your opinion. She did an amazing job with developing two responsible adults.
@@lamontjackson2939 stow your condescension and perhaps widen your frame of reference to admit nuance...
I didn't grow up with a good circle of women and as an adult have struggled to feel safe enough to be more than surface friends. I always feel wistful watching a group of women in the lirr circle. So beautiful.
It's beautiful to see that kind of trust and respect between women. Sharing and caring, sincerely.
It’s never too late to find a friend or group of friends
@@irmamontoya8473 you are right! it's not easy though. I hope I find a solid set of good friends.
🫂
"If you have one good friend, you have more than your fair share."
Wow, Michele’s mom gave some awesome advise. I could listen to this conversation for hours.
Ditto for me ☺️
I loved how she said she was raising adults, not children.
Yes, I wish it was longer.
I salute these Black women who millions in the Black community admire. They have gotten to give back to the communities in more ways than one. Such an inspiration to women all over the world!❤💯
I don't see colour here I just see some great amazing women chatting about life,
@@Daniel-mn4jq Thank you, Daniel! Happy Holidays!
@Sputnick Spooner As a matter of fact, they were a group of Black women. I've always admired Black women , beginning with my own mother. So, let's not put a spin on what was written. There was no intention of excluding anyone - just pointing out a real fact. Period. Enjoy your day, sir!
Michelle Obama’s mom…just wow! Love her. Most dysfunction begins in childhood, mostly with the parents’ own dysfunction. When parents are like Michelle Obama’s mother, you get a well-balanced, confident, and humble adult. Her mother is a model for all mothers. 🌹🌹🌹🙏
Thank you so much for making me feel welcome to your table and included in this conversation. You have all inspired me today. I do not have very many friends in the area I live in and now I realize there are women who share the same ideas I sometimes think about. Thank you all so very much...sending love.
Ditto for me 😊
Thanks for i must really try myself and time interest a conversation, on your club so as your kitchen....thanks
Wow, Mrs. Robinson validates everything I told my kids. Thank you! I was feeling a little guilty thinking it was too harsh from a mother. Now, it sounds quite right to say "I don't know" sometimes, and "It's your education. I have already graduated." I can even hear my voice saying that as I type. Sending love to all of you ladies. I can't wait to read Mrs. Obama's new book. I wish I had a group like that. However, I do not take for granted the few people I know even if they are not as close to me as your friends are to you. ❤❤💘💘❤❤
Such incredible parenting gems. I grew up with parents that shielded me from their imperfections. I have a young niece now and I told her “ adults don’t always know everything, she laughed at me like “ yea right”. Children really think that there is a switch that goes off when you turn a certain age and you will know everything and have everything figured out. As a 30 year old woman I’m still trying to unlearn that mindset.
Well said!
Michelle's mother is so charming and lovely. Like Mother, like daughter. Thank you for letting us in.
Hello Mary, Apologies for dropping this here but I love your Facebook posts and comments, I have tried to add you as a friend quite a few times, but it's not going through. Do you mind trying from your side? I would be delighted if we could be friends. If this sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying.
I wish Mrs Robinson would write a book. The tittle should be, ‘Once You Decide You Don’t Have To Know Everything, Then You Can Relax’.
I so agree with you!
Real women don't gossip about things that they can't change.
Real women converse to change things or nothing at all.
True
No wonder Michelle is such a fabulous woman! Her mother is fabulous too !!!
So True!!! It is nice to have friends to vent to that way you can get it off of your chest and go home with a fresh outlook or just a free mind because you were able to get it out to your friends! GO MICHELLE! WE LOVE YOU!
I loved it when Michelle made comments about Barack leaving socks out....I remember thinking she was the first First Lady who was willing to get real.
I love she calls her mom "lil lady"
A truly Great First Lady with class!!
You rock Michelle! ❤️
And her mama is pretty cool too!
@@l.w.4701She sure is! Love our Moms! 🌹❤️
I know how it feels and how important it is to have a group of people who are more than friends. They are your confidants, sounding boards, and someone you can vent to. I consider myself very blessed to have my own small group who would support me and also give me a good talking to when I'm wrong or thinking of doing something stupid.
"I'm raising adults, not children." Brilliant.
Loving this series, admittedly, always have been a huge fan of the Obama's but I have never heard Mrs. Robinson talk much before. I adore her no nonsense approach to raising children.
Mama Robinson out here with the wisdom ❤
Wow I really appreciate how they keep it real I really relate when she said she had Michelle practice as a child to be an adult I remember going to school meeting with mom, translating for my parents as a child ,registering for school, applying for scholarships, and applying for college by myself. Alot was because my parents English was limited so I handled alot things on my own. But now as an adult it's helped me be independent.
All of these elegant, beautiful, classy queens!!!!!!!
Glad to see a group of smart women supporting each other
Thank you for saying smart woman instead of black woman.
My forever First Lady! 🥰🥰🥰
Michelle was raised by a wise woman ❤️
She was raised by her mom and her dad.
@@g.o.a.t9804 of course!
That's why Michelle is so balanced, and decent.
Something o didn’t know I needed today. Such an amazing conversation. As an adult I’m working on having a circle like this. What’s funny is I love meeting strangers out and about and speaking with them about life.
The power of a mother can move the world. Just ask that "little" woman. We thank you beyond measure.
Such a lovely group of women... great advice at the table ❤
If Mrs Robinson ever releases a book, it will be NYT best sellers.
Michelle and Mama!!! Robin and their friends: I needed this right now.
OMG... I LOVE Mrs. Obama's MOM! All parents can take a lesson from her.
JESUS saves 🙌
JESUS heals
JESUS forgives
JESUS loves you
JESUS restores brokenness
JESUS is there for those who feel lonely or lost
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤This world is be coming scary hold on to Jesus. WE NEED JESUS back in our homes, school, work place on the street corner please hold on to Jesus and accept him in your life before it's to late❤❤❤❤
I love Mrs Robinson.The conversation was inspiring.
I could listen to Michelle Obama and her mother speak all day...both wise women.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,Deep respect for Mrs. Robinson she certainly race a beautiful human being ,and Michelle Obama she is such a gentle soul but at the same time,so intelligent and kind ,lovely lady !
Spot on Grandma! Guide but tell those kids to figure it out!
Love her 💙💙💙 What a great group of smart women!
M7chelle was a hands 9n and ideal First Lady. A graceful role model.for all American young ladies..she never loses her Kool! Check out her posture! She's also a brilliant woman!
I love it. ❤️ The toilet paper direction, was the first argument my ex tried to start. I left and went directly to the store and purchased a 2nd tp holder. There's a solution for everything.
Real women in her circle....or real women in general forever separated her from their superficial reality.
Not only is Michelle a black woman ..she is a real woman in general so ...to showcase it, hopefully will create something for the unauthentic woman.
This will show woman that it's not always about how you look....it's about how you come to the table,
What you brought to the table to consume such a life giving meal.
Thoughts are all in the mouth so therefor elegant gutt health.
Awesome friends... sincere quality...love...etc
This was an excellent interview. The world saw educated black women with dignity, grace, class, and sophistication and not the same outdated tropes the media sell through reality shows and 90% entertainment. If only this could be the norm, but then there will be those that say, black women don't act like that, or that's not representing real black women.
Love this comment!
Wonderful convo with these awesome women!!!
I had to come here just to hear her voice. Rest in Peace Mrs. Robinson 🕊️🤍 get your eternal rest. Woman full of wisdom I can listen to all day long.
Excellent Interview Love my First Black President Family♥️🔥💥⭐💯
Obama is half white… don’t forget😂
This sounds like a show “the kitchen table” With Michelle Obama ❤️
Thank you for sharing this great conversation. I too believed 5:50 I raised adults and treated them as such.
Michelle's mama is a friggin gem
I love Mrs. Robinson she needs to speak more. Please write a book❓
So wish Michelle would run for President! She’s all class but loves to have fun, intelligence, grace and beauty! We need to see more shows like this! Really enjoyed it. So nice to see normalcy and not the nut cases from the Trump administration.
Amen!
Simply the Best!! “Little Lady” The Real Deal!
🇺🇲🧢🦅 Thank You 44th First Lady Michelle Obama ! Inspiration & strength & class & beauty !!
That is one powerful women. Not everyone can get a one hour spot on Network TV Sunday night to advertise a Book.
Mrs Michelle is just a down to earth Person. That love people she is a people person.
Such beautiful, smart women. Down to earth.
Thank you for this video!
I love listening to Mrs Robinson’s insights and pearls of wisdom..🙏 so valuable👍👍 thank you maam 👏
Her mom is correct on not sharing any parenting advice because certain parenting styles she hold can be very controversial especially in black communities of today’s generation.
Hello Mrs. Former first lady Michelle Obama, sorry about the loss of your mother Marian Robinson. My Deepest condolences.. Although it's hard to believe and accept, it's still beyond co
Love Michelle's Mom.
I didn't agree with alot of Obamas policies, however both him and her are just incredibly great people. Nothing but respect for them two.
Thank you Ms. Robinson❤
Love her ❤️
I have a little momma too she's 5' 4" I'm 5' 10"
Me too. My mom's 5.6 I'm 6.0.
Gracious ladies.
❤️ ❤️
THIS IS GOLD 🪙🥇💖
Thank you for sharing.
If Mrs. Robinson did a spoken word for a few hours I would be front row. Wow!...what a woman.
Ohhh love it raising adults not children They played and had fun but learnt about consequences!
so true! i used to pray to forget, but i looked more.... and realized... l didn't know! l love it too mama!
What a cool mom Mrs. Robinson is!
Where is the rest?
A beautiful statement your education is your priority with my last child I had to let her know that I will help you if I can but it’s up to you to get the degree that you want My oldest child got her degree and paid it off very proud of her
Mrs. Robinson knows what’s happening, I can’t figure the rest of these elites
I wish that they would have shown pictures of the maternity shoots for Michelle. Abc let us down on this one. Good interview over all.
Nice!!!❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉
I feel so lucky that all I have to complain about is the fact that this video is in 720p. I had to stop for a moment when I realized what I really wanted to tell ABC News about their video quality. Thanks for the excellent content none the less.
In another interview she was talking about the difficulties of marriage and trying to explain to young ppl that it’s hard and takes patience. All good there BUT this here is exactly what we want to hear - Obama leaving his socks out! We have the same issue at home with my husband and it helps me to hear that even so smart and great ppl like the Obamas, who are role models for us (I’m white btw) have the same small daily problems and still make it work, support each other and work on it!
That sounds so selfish, but my parents were like that as well. We had to figure out what to do after high school and how to do it. I'm glad the attitude has changed, and more Black parents today are understanding the importance of encouraging your children to pursue their desires and assisting them in whatever way they can.
Encouragement is different from taking ownership. I'm pretty sure both of Mrs. Obama's parents encouraged her and her brother to think about and have a plan for how they would support themselves as adults. Mrs. Robinson raised them with eye to their being responsible adults and part of that was requiring them to own their education - research career options, take the ACT/SAT, apply to schools, etc. If the parent is in the drivers seat for major life decisions the child will have a hard time making decisions on their own. I think it worked out for both of their kids as it did for me.
Thanks for the informative vedios
Why do I find myself always agreeing with the elders?
i love chicago and as african
american ladies their ideas are deeply
inspiring i like mrs robinson shes very intelligent
Great republican woman.....in 2008 and 2009 was she involved in giving executives of wall street banks and hedge funds pay raises too ????
How is life with the insider traders....asking for a friend
It must be a privilege to be Michelle friend or even meeting her!
Exchanging peoples Destiny

Political correctness is so awful. You can't say your partner doesn't hit the dirty clothes basket. Holy Cow!!! What is wrong with people?
Love this so much❤
Okyyyy we get it y'all powerful woooo
Michelle Obama is really a special lady
Michelle Obama is a icon
How about focusing on volunteering and helping in our communities rather than Michelle and excess.
Oh Michelle Obama I love her and she’s so smart an pretty! Hey can ya pass this on to her for me … NOOOOOOOT🖕🏻
If Mrs. Robinson wrote a book on how she raised Michelle, I would buy it.
💚💚💚
