Donald is also a doting granddad to his ten grandchildren.
Melania Trump is a caring mother to her only son Barron. FLOTUS reportedly cooks breakfasts for him on her own, despite having a huge staff at the White House.
When Barron was 7, Melania commented on his love for suits:

He's not a sweatpants child…he likes to dress up in a tie sometimes like daddy.

Though Melania enjoys her role of a caring mom a lot, she is not planning any more kids:

Melania-Ivanka Trump’s relationship

Melania Trump’s documentary ‘Free, Melania’ gives an inside look into the First Lady’s marriage with Donald, her life at the White House, and her relationship with Donald’s kids.

Author Kate Bennett wrote:

Both Ivanka and Melania have tried very hard to like each other and achieve more than mere toleration.

In her book, Bennett wrote that Melania has even forbidden Ivanka to have an office at the White House nearby her own:

The East Wing, when she ultimately did arrive, was to be her territory and hers alone.

But Ivanka’s mother and Donald’s former wife, Ivana Trump, said that Ivanka even likes Melania:

She likes her fine, because she didn’t cause me to break up the marriage.

By the way, reports claim that it’s Melania who wears trousers in the Trump clan. It’s FLOTUS who reportedly takes the leading role in raising her and Donald’s son Barron.

Baby expert Rachel Fitz-Desorgher shared her vision of the matter:

She (Melania) is trying to navigate parenting her son, Barron, in the full, critical glare of the media.

The expert added:

If reports are to be believed, she can’t rely on her husband to help much.

Well, in Donald’s defense, we need to admit that he is a really busy man as it’s not a simple task to rule the country. Don’t you think?

Melania Trump’s parenting approach

Some people may be surprised but Melania and Donald’s approach to raising their son is pretty typical to other families. Barron doesn’t eat from a gold plate with a gold spoon.

Melania tries to keep her son aside from the spotlight and annoying attention of paparazzi. And we totally support her in this! The boy needs to have a normal childhood, even if he is the son of the US President.

Melania once admitted that she is a disciplinarian for Barron because she spends most of the time with him. She said they enjoy playing golf together.

Melania added:

I try to spend as much time as possible with him.
