Malia and Sasha Obama have grown up quite a bit since they were two adorable little girls entering the White House. In 2008, former President Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States. At that time, Malia, his eldest daughter, was 10 years old and Sasha was seven. Throughout the eight years Obama spent in the White House, his daughters transformed into young women right before our very eyes.
In 2017, the former President sat down with ABC News and discussed his daughters’ experience in the White House. At first, the father of two was skeptical that growing up in the spotlight would cause his children to “develop an attitude.” But during the interview, Obama expressed how his daughters have aged elegantly in the public eye. “All I can say is they have turned out to be terrific young women. They are sweet, kind, funny, smart, respectful people, and they treat everybody with respect,” he told the news outlet. “You know, we feel pretty good when… they go to other folks’ houses and when the parents say, ‘Oh, you know, Malia, she’s just so sweet,’ or ‘Sasha helped to pick up the dishes. What is it that you’re doing?’”
Although Malia and Sasha have flourished in the spotlight, their lives are far from normal. In 2017, President Obama even joked that his daughters have PTSD from security service following them on dates.

“First of all, them as teenagers, having Secret Service guys follow them when they were going out on dates, I think probably has shut down their interest in public service,” Obama joked. “They still have PTSD from guys talking into their wrist microphones and glasses as they’re trying to go to a music concert.”
