A Mother’s Love: First Lady & Mom
.
In their first interview together, First Lady Michelle Obama and her mother, Marian Robinson, sit down in the White House to speak exclusively to ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Angela Burt-Murray about retaining their family values, what it takes to raise good kids, and being role models for the Black community. Read on for excerpts from the interview.

Mrs. Michelle Obama on what being First Lady means to her:
“It’s an honor and a privilege when you walk into the White House-at least I automatically felt a level of obligation. This is a big responsibility, a wonderful platform and I just want to make sure I take every advantage to serve as a role model, to provide good messages,

I have repeatedly seen the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It’s nice, The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn’t even touch college tuition. But $160,140 isn’t so bad if you break it down. It translates into: Read More

“Get me this…” “Do this for me now!” “Don’t do that!” “Listen to me!”
Those commands don’t sound super-friendly, do they? Those commands—and a whole bunch of other ones just like ‘em—are frequently used by bossy people. You want to mess up your friendships? Here’s a tip: Start bossing your friends around.
Most people don’t like to be bossed around. Grown-ups don’t even like to be bossed around by their bosses, even though that’s kinda what bosses are supposed to do. But since you aren’t the boss of your friends (unless you’re paying them to be your friends, which would be really odd), you have no reason to boss them around, and they have no reason to put up with it.

If you remember when TV
Used to be black and white
You find you’re getting broader
But your shrinking in your height
…
If before you go to bed
Your teeth go in a jar
And you forget what you’re doing
Before you’ve gone too far
…
If your bladder gets you up
In the middle of the night
You get up in the morning
And you look an awful sight

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby
sister. After a while he asked: “Mom why have you got two? Is one for
hot and one for cold milk?”
MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied
she was so old she didn’t remember any more. Melanie said, “If you don’t
remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to
six.”
STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. “I love you
so much that when you die I’m going to bury you outside my bedroom
window.”

THINK ON THESE THINGS
Subject: Answer to Dennis Cullivan’s letter “Where have all the grown-ups gone?”, which appeared in the October 17th, 2007 issue of the Daily News.
~”~”~”~”~
To the editor:
I would like to congratulate Dennis Cullivan on his letter, “Where have all the grown-ups gone?”, which appeared in Letters to the editor on October 17th. Every single word he wrote is true and should make all readers sit up and take notice. Our country is in such bad shape that it may take upwards of ten years to repair all the damage perpetrated upon it.
.
Cullivan is correct…the inmates ARE running the asylum, both in Washington, D.C. and in the individual states! Just this week, the state of Maine decided it would be a great idea to pass out birth control pills and condoms to middle school students aged eleven! All that is required is a blanket permission slip from the parents. This blanket permission slip covers regular medication, aspirin, etc., in addition to the birth control items. Should any of these eleven year olds obtain birth control pills or condoms, the parents will NOT be notified! What has our world come to when eleven year olds are given birth control pills and condoms? There is only one last thing to which they haven’t stooped….giving live demonstrations on how to perform sexual intercourse! The way things are going, I guess that is next!
.
The moral compass of our country has been stomped on and smashed. In my humble opinion, the slide down this slippery slope began when prayer was removed from our schools. Nothing goes right without God’s presence. It is just going to get worse as time goes on.

San Francisco just had their Forum Street Fair, which celebrates the homosexual lifestyle. At this fair, it was reported that gays and lesbians were actually having sex on the street while the police turned their backs and did nothing about it. This fair was open to everyone and there were many children who witnessed these outrageous displays. One of the posters for the fair showed a picture of The Last Supper, only the people at the table were all homosexuals and the table was littered with sex toys in various shapes such as Jesus and the cross. Do the words “Sodom and Gomorrah” mean anything to you?

I know God loves everyone and that He is very patient with all of us. But even His patience will come to an end if things don’t change. His patience came to an end when he flooded the earth and killed everyone except Noah and his family. It also came to an end when
