"This time has allowed us to get some stolen moments back with our girls. Those recaptured moments have meant the world to us and I think they've made our relationships with our children even stronger," Obama told the outlet. "There's something about witnessing your children become adults and developing a different relationship with them. They didn't come back into the house into the same set of rules, because I didn't want them to miss out on independence. They came back as young women and our conversations are more peer-oriented than they are mother-to-daughter."
