In her podcast episode, Michelle Obama reflected on the gratitude experienced during her childhood, attributing it to her parents' hard work and steadfastness. She expressed concern that today's youth lack similar appreciation, noting a shift in parenting stylesâwhere abundant material gifts often replace essential guidance. Obama pointed out a generational change, where parents may prioritize providing 'stuff' over instilling values. She also commended Marlon Wayans for his approach to parenting a transgender child, highlighting the importance of unconditional love in such journeys.
Our parents worked hard enough without us fighting and causing havoc. We knew our parents were working as hard as they could.
Perhaps sometimes in this generation, where kids have, I think, too much, parents are giving kids a lot of stuff, and they're not giving them some guidance.
I wanted to talk, Marlon, a bit about... how you are being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender.
The experience really taught me what real unconditional love was.
