Melania Trump may be known as the steely and silent former First Lady, but it seems she should be known for her parenting and devotion to raising her son. In many interviews, Melania stresses how important it is for her to be with her son as much as possible.
"I like to spend every minute with him. I feed him. I change him. I play with him," Melania said shortly after Barron was born (per the New York Post). For a family that could certainly afford to hire some nannies, it appears that Melania was firmly against outsourcing help for raising her son. In 2015, Melania told People, "I like to be hands-on. I think it's very important." Donald, for his part, agreed, saying, "We keep it [nannies] down to a minimum. If you have too much help, you don't get to know your children."
Melania is also focused on listening to her son and encouraging him to learn and grow. "I listen to what he says, what troubles him and what he is excited about," she told Hip Mama, adding that she believes a parent should "give a child room to make mistakes in order to learn." Now that Barron is almost an adult, there's a chance that Melania's very dedicated parenting may be a bit annoying for the teen. Either way, we'd say having your mom doting on you 24/7 is proof of quite a lavish life.
