Michelle Obama revealed one of the qualities about her husband, Barack Obama, that has gotten on her nerves over the years.
She spoke with her brother, Craig Robinson, on Wednesday’s premiere episode of their joint podcast “IMO.”
“Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what on time was for me,” the former first lady, 61, told her brother, Craig Robinson.
“Because he was on that island time,” Robinson, 62, added about Barack’s lack of punctuality, referencing his brother-in-law’s Hawaiian roots.
Michelle recalled how “when it’s time to leave,” she would notice Barack “getting up and going to the bathroom,” and doing other things that could make them late.
“I was like, ‘Dude, a 3 o’clock departure means you’ve done all that,’ you know, it’s like, don’t start looking for your glasses at the 3 o’clock departure,” she added.
However, Michelle gave Barack kudos for working on this flaw, saying, “He’s improved over 30 years of marriage, but that was a ‘you must adjust.’”
Michelle said their daughters — Malia Obama, 26, and Sasha Obama, 23 — know their mom likes to be on time, and so they’re “early” whenever they’re “doing anything” with her.
“They’ve learned how to snap to it,” the mom of two added.
