Family rules of the Obamas
America's "First Daughters," 12-year-old Malia and9-year-old Sasha Obama, are not really different from most kids. They even have a set of rules at home with their parents.
Malia and Sasha must do teo thinfs before going to sleep and after getting up:set ther alarm clock and make the bed. these are trivial things but do make sense if kids want to learn to stand on their own feet.
Do your parents pay you money for your help with housework? the answer may be"no.". however, obama does pay his daoghters $1 per week for helping do the housework. As the saying goes, "no pian, no gain."
Obama does not think it necessary to give gifts, especially expensive ones, to his daughters. Why? Because he hopes that Malia and Sasha will keep a cool hesd while others are showing off expensive gifts on their birthdays. Festivals without gifts are simpler and purer
Malia an Sasha are also advised to take " an active part in afer-school activities." It is not about how outstanding they are in such activities, but about enjoying life to the fullest.
