In a new interview with iVillage First Lady Michelle Obama revels how she and Barack moniter their daughters Sasha and Malia’s TV viewing and why Barack is just like the rest of us that can’t put the cell phone down.

Like most moms, Mrs. Obama regulates television and screen time. The first daughters are not allowed to watch television or be on the computer during the week unless it is related to schoolwork and they can watch limited television on weekends. Are any shows off limits? “Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians — when they watch that stuff — he doesn’t like that as much,” said the First Lady, “but I sort of feel like if we’re talking about it, and I’m more concerned with how they take it in — what did you learn when you watched that. And if they’re learning the right lessons, like, that was crazy, then I’m like, okay.”

As for the First Couple’s habits, she says “Barack is the worst” when it comes to his BlackBerry but says the girls will call him out on it and say, “We’re having dinner, put that down.” She is not on the computer much, she says, but tends to send emails early, very early, around 5 a.m. ET, which made Kristina Schake, her communications director, smile. At that point, the First Lady said, “I’m trying to let people know, you don’t have to answer me,” at that hour. “I’m just getting it all out.”
