Michelle Obama, the former first lady is finally revealing about the time she spent in the White House. Michelle shared an interesting story from eight long years she spent in the White House in the latest episode on American television host Conan O'Brien's podcast titled ‘Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.’

Sharing some details about her struggles during her parenting days while living in the White House, the Becoming author told O'Brien, “We had to parent by creating this cocoon of normalcy in a pretty crazy, abnormal world. We spent eight years just going, 'It's OK! You'll be fine, this is normal, just go to school. You have men with guns...hey, you know, you're safe, don't complain! You have food, so don't complain to me.'"

She added, “It was very much, keeping them in their reality," she continues. "Making sure we went to the parent-teacher conferences, and that we went to the games and that we were sitting on the sidelines with them.”

Saying that Michelle said they considered it important that Sasha and Malia were sleeping with their friends, she said, “We had kids sleeping over at our house.”

Michelle appreciated her daughters for evenly managing their time White House and said, “I am in awe of my children for the way they have managed this whole thing with poise and grace. There's a resilience that they've had to develop."

Michelle recalled and said, "They've also had to sacrifice a lot of their childhoods, living in this glare and being the subject of some of this nastiness themselves and learning, at a very young age, how do you recover from that. They were the ones going out into the world every day, trying to be regular little girls.”
