Michelle and Barack Obama have had extremely busy lives, even before they became a first family. But one person they could always turn to for help was Michelle’s mom, Marian Robinson. Michelle shared with The Guardian that one of the reasons she begged her mom to come to the White House was because she has always been the “rock of our family.”
In the years before Obama was elected, Robinson was there for the couple for whatever they may have needed. Michelle explained, “Since the time our daughters were babies, she’d helped us out around the edges of our regular childcare arrangements, filling the gaps as Barack and I often improvised and occasionally flailed our way through different career transitions, heavy workload cycles, and the ever-burgeoning after-school lives of our two young girls.” Robinson was the answer to everything they needed before Barack was president, so of course, they couldn’t imagine spending eight years in the White House without her.
And although she may have been a bit reluctant to go and was even giving it a three-month trial, Robinson eventually found her footing, per CBS. In 2010, Michelle revealed her mother was adjusting to life in the White House. She said, “So I’m happy that she’s really settled in and feels like this is home for her, as well.” We have a feeling it had something to do with her two grandchildren, Sasha and Malia, which was another reason she made the move.
