First Lady Michelle Obama Bans Daughters From Celebrities

Posted by Sassy Smith at 9:15 AM on February 3, 2009

Self-styled ‘Mom-in-Chief’ Michelle Obama wants her girls – Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7 – to stay grounded and not receive any sort of special treatment as they start their new lives in Washington. Although the girls were thrilled with a surprise visit from The Jonas Brothers boys,and met Beyonce during the campaign, there will be no more socialising with celebrities.

Us Weekly quotes a family friend that Mrs. Obama “is trying to keep them grounded.” Michelle wants the girls to settle into their new school – Sidwell Friends School – and have as normal as a life as possible.

“Michelle is spending a lot of time talking to the girls about the new school and she’s reached out to fellow parents at Sidwell,” added the source.

The Obamas, as well, will not be hiring a nanny to care for the girls, but instead have grandma – Marian Robinson, Michelle’s mom – to look after the girls, whom she adores and dotes on.

And the family’s biggest plus – having dad Barack at home for breakfast and dinner, which was something that usually didn’t happen while he was on the campaign trail. They definitely want a routine!

I think the Obamas will probably do a good job of keeping their children focused and grounded and not let them turn into spoiled kids!
