Obamas’ family rules: No whining, make bed
July 24, 2008

WASHINGTON — The rules in the Obama household for Malia and Sasha are clear-cut:
• ”No whining, arguing or annoying teasing,” their mother, Michelle Obama, told People magazine.
• Make the bed. ”Doesn’t have to look good, just throw the sheet over it,” said the mother of 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha.
• Set your own alarm clock. ”They get themselves up, get their own clothes,” said their grandmother, Marian Robinson.
• And the allowance from Dad for doing chores is $1 a week. Barack Obama conceded, ”I’m out of town for weeks at a time, so Malia will say, ‘Hey you owe me for 10 weeks.’”
The Obamas are determined that his campaign not disrupt the childhood of their daughters, who would be two of the youngest White House residents in 30 years if Obama wins. Amy Carter was 9 when she moved into the White House in 1977.
While the candidate is on the road, the Obama girls keep a hectic schedule: soccer, dance and drama for Malia, gymnastics and tap for Sasha, piano and tennis for both. Michelle Obama hits the campaign trail two or three days a week — a role that has brought criticism from political opponents.
”When some folks were attacking Michelle, Malia just asked, ‘What was that all about?’ and we talked it through,” Barack Obama said, adding that it was fortunate that ”she’s completely confident about her mommy’s wonderfulness.”
”They have a wonderful life in Chicago,” he said. ”So I’m sure there’s a part of them that won’t be heartbroken if things don’t work out.”
