Michelle Obama is fine with an empty nest as daughter Sasha finishes high school, says 'I’m happy for them'

Michelle Obama is not sad about having an empty nest and is happy for her daughters to move ahead with their lives

The time for college applications is here and many mothers tend to get very sentimental at this point about their emptying nests. However, former first lady Michelle Obama seems to be totally fine with her emptying nest as her younger daughter Sasha finishes high school. 

As reported by PEOPLE, Michelle shared, "That’s the rub of teenagers — they’re bumping up against the limits of where they are because they’re ready for the next thing." Michelle has two daughters — 20-year-old Malia who is a Harvard Sophomore and 17-year-old Sasha who is a high school senior. "That’s how I feel with my girls: if they are ready for college, then I want them to go and I’m happy for them," Michelle added.
