"So many parents feel like they got to show up perfectly for their kids or else they won't get the respect," Michelle Obama said.

Since leaving the White House, Michelle Obama has been pretty candid about her life and open about her marriage to Barack Obama. Following the former president 's revelation that he'd been "trying to dig" himself out of a " deep deficit " in his marriage, Michelle has shared the reason why she's "so glad" she doesn't have any sons with her husband.

The former first lady welcomed radio host Angie Martinez to her podcast for a wide-ranging conversation that eventually turned to parenting.
