Mustafa Kemal'in Zafer Yolculuğundaki Unutulmaz Detay New

Mustafa Kemal'in Zafer Yolculuğundaki Unutulmaz Detay

Naim BabüroğluORDU YORGUNDUOn yıl süren savaşlar, milleti tükenme noktasına getirmişti.13 Eylül 1921’de Sakarya Meydan Muharebesi’nde, Türk ordusu büyük bir zafer kazanmıştı.Ancak bu zafer, ağır kayıplar ve büyük yokluklar pahasına elde edilmişti.Ordu yorgundu, donanımı ise son derece yetersizdi.★★★Yabancı uzmanların raporlarında, Türk ordusunun “Çıplak denilecek kadar kötü giydirildiği” belirtiliyordu.Her 100 askerden, ancak 10-15’ine askeri elbise verilebiliyordu.Diğerleri, köyden geldikleri yırtık elbiseyle savaşa giriyorlardı.Bu koşullarda, Türk ordusunun saldırı yapabileceğine ihtimal veren yoktu.Ancak ordunun başında, Başkomutan Mustafa Kemal Paşa vardır.Savaşın ustası...★★★HACİANESTİ’NİN NEŞESİYunan işgal ordusu komutanlığına General Hacianesti atanır.5 Haziran 1922’de, İzmir’e gelerek göreve başlar.Cephedeki birliklerini denetler.Reuters muhabiri sorar:“Mustafa Kemal’i gördünüz mü?”Cevap:“Ne? Mustafa Kemal mi? Kim bu adam? Ben böyle bir komutan tanımıyorum.”Neşesi yerindedir...★★★BASKIN ETKİSİİngiliz uzmanlar, Yunanların savunma hatlarını çok beğenirler.Rapor şöyleydi:“Türkler bu mevzileri dört-beş ayda ele geçirebilirlerse, bir günde düşürdüklerini iddia edebilirler.”★★★Normal koşullarda, savaş prensiplerine göre taarruz edenin düşmandan üç kat üstün olması gerekiyordu.Oysa Yunan ordusu; asker sayısı, silah, uçak ve araç yönünden Türk ordusundan üstündü.Mustafa Kemal, düşmanın bu üstünlüğüne karşı ancak baskın, gizlilik ve aldatma ile karşı koyabilirdi.★★★Asıl taarruzu, Afyon güneyinden, Ahır dağlarından yaparak baskın etkisi oluşturacaktı.Çünkü İngilizler ve Yunanlar, Ahır dağlarının aşılamayacağına inanıyorlardı.İşte, baskın tam da bu bölgeden sağlanacaktı.5’inci Süvari Kolordusu, Ahır dağlarını aşarak arzu edilen baskın etkisini oluşturacaktı.KIYAMETiN KOPTUĞU GECE28 Temmuz 1922...Taarruz planının görüşülmesini gizlemek için, ordu birlikleri arasında Konya Akşehir’de futbol maçı düzenlenir ve haber basına verilir.Komutanlar da bu maça katılır.Aynı günün akşamı taarruz planı görüşülecektir.28 Temmuz 1922 saat 21.00’de, Batı Cephesi Karargâh binasında savaş tarihinin nefes kesen toplantısı başlar.Toplantıya; Başkomutan, Fevzi Paşa, İsmet Paşa, ordu ve kolordu komutanları katılır.Türk Ordusu, 239 yıl sonra ilk kez işgalcileri vatan toprağından atmak için taarruz edecekti.Düşmanın belirgin bir üstünlüğü vardı.Türk ordusu ise, yokluklarla boğuşuyordu.Toplantı, iç açıcı olmayan böyle bir atmosferde başlar.★★★Taarruz planı, ayrıntılı olarak anlatılır.2’nci Ordu Komutanı Yakup Şevki Paşa plana karşı çıkar.“100 bin kişiyi düşmandan habersiz intikal ettiremezsiniz. Baskın niteliği kaybolursa plan çöker...” dediği söylenir.Şevki Paşa bir türlü ikna edilemez.Ve şu ünlü sözü söyler:“Adama vatan haini derler. Hepimizi meclisin önünde asarlar.”★★★Mustafa Kemal Paşa hiddetlenir:“Korkmayın paşam. Tarihe ve millete karşı bütün sorumluluk bana aittir.”Toplantı sabaha kadar sürer.Savaşın ustası, savaş tarihinin en önemli risklerinden birini alıyordu.Başarılı olmazsa, eldeki ordu da yok olabilirdi.★★★KASADA PARA YOKTUOrdunun taarruza kadar, iki milyon yüz bin liraya ihtiyacı vardı.Maliye Bakanı Hasan Fehmi (Ataç), Hazine’de para olmadığını bildirir.Bunun üzerine Başkomutan, Maliye ve Millî Savunma bakanlarını çağırır ve şunları söyler:“Hindistan Müslümanlarının yolladığı 600 bin lira bankada duruyor. Hiç dokunmadım... Bu parayı Maliye Bakanlığı emrine vereceğim. İlk ihtiyaçları karşılar.”Maliye Bakanı Hasan Fehmi Bey’e de, “Geriye bir buçuk milyon lira kalıyor. Onu da Maliye Bakanı olarak siz bulacaksınız” emrini verir.Hasan Fehmi Bey çaresizdir: “Nerden? Bulabileceğim hiçbir yer yok.”Başkomutan kesin bir dille, “Bunu ben bilemem... Siz bu göreve, işte bu zor gün için seçilmiştiniz.”Hasan Fehmi çok huzursuzdur.Tüm sorumluluk ona kalmıştır.Gece uyuyamaz.Hasan Fehmi Bey’den dinleyelim:“Ordu Defterdarlarından hesap istedim. Baktım ki bazı birliklerde iki ay, bazılarında on dört ay aylık almamış subaylar var...Vergiler hep tahsil edilmişti. Hiçbir yerde metelik bırakmamıştım... Osmanlı Bankasının Ankara Şubesi Müdürü Bojeti’yi çağırttım.Dedim ki: Osmanlı Bankası tarihi anını yaşıyor. Maliyeye bir buçuk milyon lira lazım. Bizim yönetimimizdeki bölgelerde 16 şubeniz var. İstediğim parayı vermezsen şubelerinizin 16’sına da el koyar, kasalarınızdaki bütün parayı tutanak karşılığında alırım. Düşünmek için sana bir saat süre veriyorum, git düşün, cevabını ver...Böylece, istediğimiz bir buçuk milyon lirayı Osmanlı Bankasından aldık.”Zaferden sonra, alınan borç Osmanlı Bankası’na tam olarak ödenir.★★★ALDATMA HABERLERİ17 Ağustos 1922...Ankara’da büyük ziyafet verileceği ve yüksek rütbeli komutanların Ankara’ya hareket ettikleri haberi yayılır.Bu aldatma haberi yayıldığında, Başkomutan cepheye Akşehir’e gelir.★★★20 Ağustos 1922...Başkomutan, komutanlara kesin emri verir: Taarruz 26 Ağustos Cumartesi sabahı başlayacaktır.Ayağa kalkar.Bütün komutanlar, heyecanla ayağa kalkıp esas duruşa geçerler.239 yıldır özlenen bir taarruzdu bu...★★★21 Ağustos 1922...Yine aldatma planı gereği, Çankaya’da çay verileceği haberi, “Hakimiyet-i Milliye” gazetesinde yayımlanır.Mustafa Kemal Paşa, o anda cephededir.Bu arada, 21-22 Ağustos 1922 gecesi Reşat Nuri Güntekin’in “Çalıkuşu” romanını okur.SARIŞIN KURT KOCATEPE’DE24 Ağustos 1922...Başkomutan ve komutanlar Akşehir’den, Şuhut kasabasına gelirler.Tam bu sırada, Yunan komutanlar her şeyden habersiz Afyon orduevinde baloya katılıyorlardı.Aldatma planı sonuç vermişti.25’i 26 Ağustos’a bağlayan gece, Türk birlikleri saldırı için son kontrolleri yaparlar.Nefesler tutulmuştur...Dünya, 26 Ağustos 1922 sabahı top sesleriyle gözlerini açacak ve tarihin akışını değiştirecek taarruza tanık olacaktı.Savaş tarihinin kıskanacağı bir taarruzdu gelen...★★★26 Ağustos 1922 saat 3.30...Başkomutan ve komutanlar, gecenin karanlıkları içinde atlara binerek Kocatepe’ye hareket ederler.Taarruz’un 4.30’da başlaması planlanmıştır.Ancak, sis nedeniyle 5.30’a kaydırılır.Kocatepe’de tam bir sessizlik...Ve Başkomutan, İsmet Paşa’ya emrini verir:“Ateş!..”Taarruz, topçu ateşiyle başlar.Düşman, beklemediği bir yerden baskına uğramıştır.★★★26 Ağustos 1922 sabahı, Yunan ilk mevzileri ele geçirilir.Ancak, Başkomutan endişelidir.Telefonla bazı birlikleri uyarır.Atatürk’ün o anda çekilen kalpaklı, ünlü “Kocatepe” fotoğrafı için Falih Rıfkı Atay, “Fotoğraf objektifi, tarihe bu kadar canlı bir eser bırakmamıştır” diyecektir.KOCATEPE FOTOĞRAFININ HİKÂYESİ26 Ağustos 1922, taarruzun ilk günü...23’üncü Tümen’in hedefi Belen Tepe’dir.Fakat, taarruzda gecikme olur.Tümen’in bu gecikmesi, cephenin yarılmasını engelleyebilirdi.Kocatepe’de tüm birliklerin hareketlerini kontrol eden Sarışın Kurt, bu gecikmeden endişelenir.Tümen Komutanı Yarbay Halis’e (Bıyıktay) telefon eder.Taarruzu hızlandırması için uyarır ve azarlar...Atatürk’ün Kocatepe’deki ünlü kalpaklı fotoğrafı da, işte bu sırada çekilir.26 Ağustos 1922 sabahı, Başkomutan telefona doğru yürürken...Fotoğrafta, Mustafa Kemal endişeli, hiddetli ve sinirlidir.Ölüm kalım savaşı...Başkomutan’ın uyarısından sonra, Tümen büyük bir hızla ilerler ve Belen Tepe kısa sürede ele geçirilir.Mustafa Kemal Paşa, uyardığı Yarbay Halis’i ertesi gün ödüllendirir ve gönlünü alır.HACİANESTİ’NİN SONUCepheden 450 kilometre uzakta, İzmir’de Yunan Başkomutanı Hacianesti çok rahattır.Yaveri Yüzbaşı Kazanidis, Türklerin taarruz haberini soran gazetecilere:“Birkaç gün sonra, burada sizi esir Mustafa Kemal’le tanıştırabilirim?” cevabını verir.Emindir...Birkaç saat sonra...27 Ağustos 1922 akşamı...Hacianesti’nin yaveri, sessizce komutanına yaklaşır:“Generalim!”“Ne var?”“Cephe yarılmış efendim.”Hacianesti donup kalır.★★★BAŞKOMUTAN MEYDAN MUHAREBESİ29-30 Ağustos 1922 gecesi...Mustafa Kemal Paşa, o anı şöyle anlatır:“29-30 Ağustos gecesi sabaha karşı cephe komutanlığı Harekât Şube Müdürü bana haritayı getirdi.

Ella Bright Breaks Silence on Belmont Cameli's Vanished Photos New

Ella Bright Breaks Silence on Belmont Cameli's Vanished Photos

Off Campus star Ella Bright is addressing speculation surrounding her costar Belmont Cameli’s social media feed. Eagle-eyed fans recently noticed that Cameli, 28, appeared to delete or, at the very least archive, several promotional photos featuring Bright, 19, from his feed. Us can confirm that the Along for the Ride actor currently has other images with different Off Campus costars on his page. As fan chatter rose about a potential feud, the actress clapped back at speculation there’s tension between the pair. “Everything is fine,” Bright reportedly wrote via Instagram comment, according to a fan’s screenshot shared via TikTok on Friday, August 28. “Just move along with your day.” Neither Bright nor Cameli have further publicly addressed the speculation. Us reached out to reps for both actors for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication. Bright and Cameli star as Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, respectively, in Prime Video’s Off Campus, which was adapted from author Elle Kennedy’s bestselling hockey romance series of the same name. The eight-episode season raised eyebrows for its racy sex scenes. “Listen, I came into this job and during the chemistry reads — with more than enough information and knowledge and understanding of what this role required in the show — I just fell in love with Hannah and these scripts immediately,” Bright said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in May, addressing her character’s partial nudity. “There was never a question that I wouldn’t want to do this.” Bright further acknowledged that some “people” were also allegedly concerned about her and Cameli’s 10-year age difference in the steamy scenes. “Not once did I feel one left out from being younger than everybody,” she said. “We’re all such a family, and like, everyone was just more than perfect. I couldn’t be more comfortable on the set with these people. So, it is funny when they said that.” Bright and Cameli will pass the torch to Stephen Kalyn and Mika Abdalla for Off Campus season 2, currently in production. The new episodes will follow the third book in Kennedy’s hit series as Garrett’s teammate Dean Heyward-Di Laurentis falls in love with Hannah’s best friend, Allie Hayes. “I’m just really looking forward to digging deeper into who Allie and Dean are. They both, kind of, have these fronts, these personas that are hard to kind of crack through,” Abdalla, 26, exclusively told Us in May, teasing season 2. “They are kind of stereotypes of themselves. But in the books, as we know, there’s so much beneath the surface of Dean, and there’s so much beneath the surface of Allie.” She added at the time, “I’m excited to dig emotionally into that a little bit more, because, you know, we see Allie and Dean as their exteriors a lot in season 1. While that is fun, and they are super fun characters to play, I think as actors, selfishly, both of us are really excited to, kind of, like, get psychological.” Off Campus also stars Antonio Cipriano and Jalen Thomas Brooks, who are expected to lead future seasons of the hit hockey drama.

Why 'Mercy Sex' Among Women Is Sparking Heated Discussions New

Why 'Mercy Sex' Among Women Is Sparking Heated Discussions

Women with no sexual desire still make whoopie two to three times a month to help maintain relationship stability, and other goals, per a study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. Prostock-studio - stock.adobe.com It’s a pity party in their pants.Women with no sexual desire still make whoopie on the reg to maintain their relationship, and other motivating factors beyond gratification, per a raunchy study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.Researchers came to this conclusion after examining the baseline results from a decade of drug trials for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, defined by medics as a chronic lack of carnal cravings.The drugs in question included a testosterone patch, an injectable aphrodisiac called bremelanotide and flibanserin, an oral treatment for the disorder. In 2015, the latter medication became the first ever drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for premenopausal women suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder. The study suggests that trials of drugs that help sexual desire should focus on factors besides the frequency of intercourse. Prostock-studio – stock.adobe.comDuring the multiple randomized, placebo-controlled trials, which involved thousands of women, pharmaceutical companies were required to gauge success based on the frequency of sexual events, PsyPost reported.However, Nikita Guptan and James A. Simon, researchers at IntimMedicine Specialists in Washington, D.C., found that on average, participants suffering from the condition had sex roughly two to three times per month before undergoing treatment.This meant that they had reached the finish line sans exhibiting any sex drive — a term the scientists dubbed “mercy sex.” Why engage in hanky panky without a hankering? The researchers concluded that many women want to inspire monogamy by preventing their partners from seeking nookie elsewhere — the logic being that a couple that lays together stays together. Women often use “mercy sex” as a form of relationship maintenance, per the researchers. AntonioDiaz – stock.adobe.comThe researchers pointed to differing male and female reproductive strategies, with men seeking to procreate with multiple partners in a short timespan while women prioritize stability and resource-sharing to raise their kids.By engaging in “mercy sex,” they helped increase the odds that their promiscu.ous partner would stick around to help rear the children, evolutionarily-speaking at least.As men are often socially conditioned to view sex as synonymous with emotional closeness, engaging in consensual but unwanted sex can help preserve this connection, per the study.The main caveat is that these evolutionary explanations didn’t apply to women in same-sex relationships or those without a partner.Coincidentally, “mercy sex” is surprisingly common. According to a 2024 study from the Journal of Sex Research finding that, the majority of people consented to sex they didn’t desire at some point, including in their current relationships.The problem arises when lower-desire partners do so solely to avoid conflict or disappointment and keep their needs silent to avoid rocking the boat, psychologists say, according to Forbes. While their intent may be understandable, suppressing oneself in the sack can lead to depressive symptoms.Of course, “mercy sex” should not be conflated with women initially feeling neutral desire only for arousal to emerge during the act. This pattern is common in many healthy long-term sexual relationships, per studies on the female sexual response.Overall, these nuances illustrate that drug trials should perhaps place equal emphasis on the quality — in addition to quantity — when it comes to measuring clinical success.

Tragedia en Zimbabue: Choque fatal de autobús deja 27 muertos

Casi 30 personas murieron y otras siete resultaron con lesiones después de que un autobús que transportaba miembros de una iglesia chocara de frente contra un camión de carga el pasado 28 de agosto en la República de Zimbabue, tal y como dieron a conocer las autoridades locales.El accidente tuvo lugar alrededor de las 20:30 horas en la carretera Harare-Masvingo, en la localidad de Chivhu, cerca de una escuela primaria. La furgoneta, cuyo número de pasajeros es indeterminado, chocó frontalmente contra un camión. Si bien el nombre de las víctimas permanece anónimo hasta el momento de edición de esta nota, se sabe que fallecieron 27 personas y que otras siete resultaron heridas.El camión con matrícula extranjera trataba de adelantar a otro vehículo cuando ocurrió el incidente. La furgoneta, por otro lado, era tripulada por feligreses de la Iglesia Apostólica Africana, quienes se dirigían desde Dema hasta Mvuma para atender una conferencia religiosa.Según declaraciones de Paul Nyathi, portavoz de la policía, recogidas por The Associated Press (AP), el choque ocurrió a 132 kilómetros de la capital. La emisora estatal ZBC News reportó que 23 personas fallecieron en el lugar, mientras que las restantes sucumbieron a causa de sus heridas en un hospital local.Tras el accidente, la furgoneta se incendió y calcinó por completo, quedando únicamente el armazón del vehículo completamente carbonizado. Reporteros del medio local afirmaron que dos supervivientes fueron ingresados al Hospital del Distrito de Chivhu, y otros cinco se encontraban en estado crítico en el Hospital de Chitungwiza, en la provincia de Harare.

Allie Colleen Brooks' Emotional Confession About Losing Garth Sparks Debate New

Allie Colleen Brooks' Emotional Confession About Losing Garth Sparks Debate

Legendary country music star Garth Brooks' daughter Allie Colleen Brooks is opening up about her greatest fear in the wake of icon Dolly Parton’s death at age 80. “My greatest fear in life is the day my Dad loses his life and I have to see the world mourn a man they never knew the way I knew him,” Allie, 30, wrote via Instagram earlier this week. “To the personal family and friends of Mrs. Dolly you have all my love and condolences today and forever going forward.” She continued, “What a huge, beautiful, special life to have loved and to grief. Thank you for sharing her with us all.” Allie, a country singer and songwriter in her own right, captioned the post, “What a beautiful privilege it is to mourn.. to grieve is to know you loved deeply and fully. To the woman we all loved and to those who grief for her — I love you all. Please respect the family and her personal friends.” Us confirmed on Tuesday, August 25, that the legendary country music star died after a private and brief battle with an undisclosed type of cancer. “My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I’ve ever known,” the country star’s sister, Stella Parton, said when breaking her silence in the wake of her sibling’s death. “What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that their was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future," she wrote via social media at the time. https://www.instagram.com/alliecolleenmusic/p/Dce0czEgpYg/ In honor of Dolly’s legacy, Garth — who shares Allie and her siblings Taylor and August with his ex-wife Sandy Mahl — and his current wife and fellow singer Trisha Yearwood announced September 25 will be “Dolly Day’ at their Nashville bar, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk, with all profits going towards children’s literacy. Allie’s public confession in the wake of Dolly’s death received mixed reactions from her many followers, with some condemning her statement as selfish while others — including children of other country music stars — offered their solidarity in the comments section. “No one is allowed to be sad except the family? That’s wild,” one user wrote, prompting a response from the country singer’s daughter. “This is my account – I am saying I don’t know how to respond to these things in my industry because of my life experiences,” she wrote. “I’m not telling anyone else how to grieve. I’m just acknolwedging the family. You do you babe.” Mackenzie Adkins, daughter of fellow country music star Trace Adkins, wrote, “I’m more of an avoidant when it comes to fears like this. But that is very very scary and real for my sisters and I. Thank you for explaining it better than I could.” “I know you understand babe,” Allie responded. “Should the day come — we’ll get through it.”

Teen Siblings' Christmas Gift to Dad Sparks Unexpected Change New

Teen Siblings' Christmas Gift to Dad Sparks Unexpected Change

This Christmas, my brother (16) and I (14F) overheard Dad talking to his brother about gifts for our mom, Lily. Dad’s words made our blood boil.“Only kitchen stuff,” he said. “Mixers, blenders, utensils. Maybe if she gets better gadgets, she’ll finally learn how to cook.”We just stood there, frozen. Mom already did everything—worked full-time, cleaned, cooked, helped us with homework—while Dad barely lifted a finger. And that’s what he thought she deserved?That night, my brother and I made a plan.We didn’t argue. We didn’t confront him. We just… decided to show him.Christmas morning came, and our whole family—12 of us—gathered around the tree. Laughter, wrapping paper, the smell of cinnamon rolls. Mom looked tired but happy, like she always did.Dad went first with his gifts to her.“Here you go, Lily,” he said proudly.She opened them one by one.A blender. A knife set. A new pan.She smiled politely each time. “Oh… thank you,” she said, glancing at him like she was trying to convince herself to be grateful.Then it was our turn.My brother handed Dad a big box. “We got you something too,” he said.Dad looked surprised. “Oh? For me?”He opened it.Inside was a vacuum cleaner.The room went quiet.“What’s this?” he laughed awkwardly.“Oh, and there’s more,” I said, handing him another box.He opened it. Cleaning supplies.Then another. Laundry detergent and a basket.His smile started to fade. “Okay… what’s going on?”My brother crossed his arms. “We figured if Mom’s gifts are based on what she does for the house, then yours should be too.”No one said a word.I added, “Mom works full-time and does everything at home. You don’t. So we thought maybe these would help you… learn.”You could feel the tension in the room.Dad looked around, maybe expecting someone to laugh. No one did.Then something unexpected happened.Our uncle—the same one Dad had been talking to—let out a small chuckle. “Well,” he said, “they’re not wrong.”A couple of other relatives nodded.Mom just sat there, eyes wide, clearly not expecting any of this.Dad’s face turned red. For a moment, I thought he’d explode.But he didn’t.Instead, he looked at Mom.Really looked at her.At the tired eyes. The forced smile. The hands that never seemed to rest.And for the first time, he didn’t have anything to say.The rest of Christmas was… quieter.Later that night, I walked into the kitchen and saw something I’d never seen before.Dad was doing the dishes.Mom stood nearby, confused. “You don’t have to do that,” she said.“I know,” he replied. “But I should’ve been.”There was a long pause.“I’m sorry, Lily,” he said softly. “I didn’t realize… how much you do. Or how little I do.”Mom didn’t answer right away. Then she nodded, just a little.It wasn’t some big movie moment. Nothing magically changed overnight.But the next morning, Dad made breakfast.And the day after that, he did laundry.And little by little, things started to feel… fair.As for Mom’s real Christmas gift?A few weeks later, Dad surprised her with something completely different—a spa day, a weekend off, and a promise: “You don’t have to carry this house alone anymore.”And this time, when she smiled—it wasn’t forced.

Michelle Obama's Surprising Reaction to Her Daughters Leaving Home New

Michelle Obama's Surprising Reaction to Her Daughters Leaving Home

Former first lady Michelle Obama is opening up about life after her two daughters have left the proverbial nest. “I don’t miss ‘em,” Obama, 60, quipped on the Wednesday, August 26, episode of her “IMO” podcast after guest Jon Stewart asked how she handled daughters Malia, 28, and Sasha, 25, going to college. “I don’t; I love them. I’m going to see them tonight for dinner.” She continued, “You know, Barack [Obama] cried when they went to college. I was like, ‘Bye little … Goodbye.’ Now, Friday nights aren't wrecked with terror and fear about, ‘Where are you?’” Michelle further gushed that she has loved her daughters’ “emancipation and growth” since the pair have left their childhood home. When Stewart, 63, asked whether the Becoming author missed the “pattern” of raising kids, she shook her head no. “I’m good, look at all this meaning I have,” Michelle quipped, gesturing to her podcast studio and life after mothering young and later teen children. “I have a wonderful pattern. I love my schedule; I have a great schedule and it’s all mine.” However, Michelle can understand how Stewart and her brother, podcast cohost Craig Robinson, can wax nostalgic for their kids’ younger years. “I think fathers can be that way because you weren't there from 6:00 to 9:00 at night, you missed a lot of it,” she stated. “I mean, I've had so much quality time with my children. So much; I know them inside and out.” Malia and Sasha were by Michelle and former senator Barack’s side when he ran and was elected president of the United States. (Barack, 65, served as the Commander in Chief from 2009 to 2017.) While Barack pursued his political career, it was often up to Michelle to handle their kids’ day-to-day. “They were probably 7 and 3 at the time, and Barack was traveling, so I was at home trying to get the girls to bed,” the former attorney said on a December 2025 episode of her podcast. “They were great kids, but this was one night that they were just being rambunctious.” According to Michelle, neither of her girls would listen when she asked them to get ready for bedtime that night. “I was in my frustrated mommy time,” she recalled. “I said, ‘Well, that’s it. No one listens to me. I’m done parenting. You seem like you guys have this all figured out, and you can do this on your own. So have at it.’” Malia, then 7, quickly changed course and stressed that she didn’t “know what [she] could do without” her mom. “I’m thinking, ‘Yeah, this is what I wanted. I wanted her to realize that she needed me,’” Michelle added at the time. “Sasha, my 3-year-old was sitting on the stairs watching all this. She took her blankie, and she turned around and went back upstairs to watch TV. As if to say, like, ‘Thank God. At last. This is what I wanted from you, lady. I am 3. I can handle this. I’m going back upstairs.’ She got five steps up, and I was like, ‘If you don’t turn around and get back down here.’ Well, it worked for one. Didn’t work for the other.”
