Their home has its own bowling alley, movie theatre, and chef.

But while living in the White House could leave Sasha and Malia Obama with a distorted sense of how Americans live, their father says he's always conveying to his daughters how abnormal their situation really is.

"We are constantly reminding Malia and Sasha of the slightly unreal environment that they're in, and that that's not the norm and they shouldn't expect to be the norm," President Barack Obama said in an interview for the Amazon Kindle store.

Having relatives who don't live like the commander-in-chief – and even struggle to get by – has kept his children grounded, Obama said.

I can just hear him now splain-in the hardships of growing up in the house of a Indonesian multi-millionaire back in the 60's,and going to private school every day in a chauffeured luxury car.

Then things really got tough when he had to move to a tough upper-class hood full of upper-class white and Hawaiian boys in the tropical paradise of Hawaii as the grandson of a bank vice-president. Why,I bet he even told them he sometimes had to ride a taxi to school,and he didn't even have a servant to carry his surfboard down to the water!

How can these kids ever be grounded when they are constantly jetting off to exotic and exciting locals for vacation?
