On Saturday, President Barack Obama congratulated women on Mother's Day and thanked his wife and mother-in-law for their support in caring for children.

He admitted that the president is the third most important position in their family, writes “Voice of America".

The two most important positions in their family, according to Obama, are his wife Michelle, who is the mother of their children, and her mother.

“I am incredibly happy, because next to me are women who help me raise, love and care for our girls,” said the head of the United States.

He urged US citizens to also find time to congratulate women in their families.

“I hope that you too take a moment to say thank you to the women in your life who love you in that special way that only mothers can. Birth mothers, adoptive mothers and milk mothers; single mothers, grandmothers, aunts and mentors—you don't think of anyone when you think of Mother's Day. Or, like me, you will find time to remember the mothers who raised us, and whose big hearts support us, no matter how old we become,” the president said.

Obama called for mothers to show the respect they deserve, and touched on the topic of women's equality.

In his opinion, respect for the mother “includes paid leave for the care of the child for both mothers and fathers, sick leave, the creation of special conditions for pregnant employees, a good health care system, an affordable system of child care, a flexible work schedule equal to wages and decent minimum wages.
