Listen, I am the first one to cringe when someone says Michelle Obama is a man or calls her 'Moochelle' or various other weird nicknames. I can't stand her or her husband's politics, but I do respect the office of the Presidency. 

Michelle was loathsome as the First Lady. Her personality is so much worse post-presidency and she is even more unlikable. 

Not only does she hate America. She also sounds relieved to be done with her kids.

I’m lucky. I get to write for an audience I love. I have a full life and good friends. 

But my children are everything. Any time I can steal with them is the best part of the day. If I have plans and they want to hang, the plans lose. They are the point.

So, this interview was unrecognizable.

Michelle Obama says she was happy to have her kids out of the nest. Thrilled, even, not to worry about them on Friday nights. 

Madam: your children had Secret Service. 

They were among the most protected kids in the country.

Then she says she spent “plenty of quality time” with them. For eight years her mother was the primary caregiver while she was First Lady. She had chefs, aides, staff, a whole machine. That job is demanding. It is not “keeping house with a baby on your hip.”

Some of us never stop wanting our kids close. She sounded glad they were gone.

Hilariously, it seems her brother realized how bad this was making her look. He was trying to clean up it for her with: 'She's just different'. Yes, she's different alright. 

I spend more time praying now for my kids than ever before, that much is certain. I pray they are safe in their jobs, I pray for their future spouses, I pray for their future children, I pray for their finances and I pray they stay close to God.

I feel like I talk to God all day now. 

I can't control their little worlds anymore. It's even more scary. The saying 'A Mother is only as happy as her saddest child' certainly applies to me. 

Middle age is a great time to start focusing on yourself again. Women need to be in good health and start to really lock into fitness goals to ensure we go into the last part of our lives our best selves. That doesn't mean distancing yourself from your children, though. 

I'm thankful my children are happy to build homes on our family property. I love my life. I hope the last minute of my life is surrounded by my children and grandchildren. That's Warren Buffet level wealth in my eyes.
