JILL Biden has been mocked after she admitted her role as first lady was “harder than I imagined,” saying she worked “24 hours a day”.
Biden, 70, opened up in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning which is due to air this weekend.
"I think it’s a little harder than I imagined," the first lady said. "It’s not like a job that you do, it’s a lifestyle that you live."
She claimed the position was unlike most jobs.
"It’s not something you leave at 5 o’clock or at 3 o’clock," she told the network. "It’s 24 hours a day."
Her comments have already been met with a furious backlash on social media.
One commentator on Twitter said: “Jill Biden says being first lady is harder than she imagined well deal with it you guys cheated to get what you wanted do not feel sorry for you.”

Another wrote: “O please with the drama in thinking that what you do is hard work. You politicians have no clue about what it's like to actually have to work hard for a living. Suck it up!!”
A third added: “Wealthy libs despise hard work.”
Others compared her to the previous first lady Melania Trump with one writing on the social media site: “Jill Biden says being first lady is harder than she imagined. Im sure. But Melania did it with grace and style.”
The first lady uses her role to focus on issues which include advocating for military families and the ongoing fight against cancer, according to the White House.
She has also continued her work as an educator.
Before marrying her husband, President Joe Biden, she worked as a high school English teacher and went on to perform the role of a reading specialist.
While Barack Obama was in the White House, with Joe Biden as Vice President, she advocated for community colleges and currently serves as an English professor at Northern Virginia Community College.
The First Lady has previously said: "Teaching isn’t just what I do, it’s who I am."
