Michelle Obama reveals which daughter Barack found more ‘difficult’ to raise

Barack Obama found it more “difficult” to raise his youngest daughter, Sasha.
Michelle Obama recalled her husband connecting more seamlessly with their older daughter, Malia, on Wednesday’s episode of her and Craig Robinson’s “IMO” podcast.
“I’d say this to Barack, when it comes to, you know, [our] oldest, Malia, she is going to figure out who you are, what do you like and let’s discuss it,” Michelle said, adding that it was an “unusual” characteristic for a teen.
The former first lady laughed as she recalled Malia, 27, always warming up to the 44th President of the United States.
“When Malia was a teenager, it wasn’t that she was going out any less or doing anything differently,” Michelle said. “She would tell me, ‘I’m going out this weekend, but I’m going to go in and give dad like 15 minutes.’”
Michelle said that Malia would catch up with her dad and ask him questions about the political climate.
“She’d go into the Treaty Room and be like, ‘Tell me about Syria,’” Michelle dished, adding that Barack would come out of their meeting saying, “I just had an amazing conversation with Malia.”
Michelle sarcastically added, “I’m like, ‘Ok.’”
However, Sasha, 24, wasn’t as focused on pleasing her father — something that Barack struggled to accept over the years.
“Sasha is like a cat,” Michelle explained. “She’s like, ‘Don’t touch me, don’t pet me. I’m not pleasing you. You come to me.’”
The mom of two said that Barack called Sasha “difficult,” prompting Michelle to explain that their youngest was just not a people “pleaser” like their eldest.
Michelle added that parents “have to be a chameleon” and adjust to different temperaments.
“Some people parent to one child, or one personality child, but then you have three,” Michelle laughed.
Despite some of Barack’s setbacks with Sasha, the father-daughter duo are extremely close. He even shared how proud he was of her while celebrating her birthday this year.
“Happy birthday, Sasha! Watching you grow into the incredible woman you are has been a true gift. I’ll always be proud of you and will always be here for you,” he wrote via Instagram on June 10.
Michelle, 61, and Barack, 64 — who have been married since 1992 — recently sparked rumors that their marriage was on the rocks. However, the “Becoming” author shut down the chatter several times.
