A mom is refusing to let her teenage son get a job because she wants him maintain his youth and pursue his passions<\/a> before embracing society\u2019s work “to stay alive” mentality.<\/p>\n

In a video shared on TikTok,<\/strong> Esther Boyd explained that she urged her 15-year-old son not to seek employment because she wants him to “do what he wants” while he still has the chance as a teenager.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve had a very hectic load of life experience quite early on, and I\u2019ve done so many things and achieved so many things and my work ethic is insane, yes, but that\u2019s what I don\u2019t like. Like why is our work ethic such an important valuable skill?” Boyd, 33, says in the clip. “Why are we valuing ourselves and each other on how hard we work?”<\/p>\n

Boyd told South West News Service that “it seems like I have been working forever \u2014 I\u2019m already physically and mentally ready to retire,” she said. She explained that she told her son “I don\u2019t want you to get a job. I don\u2019t think it is a smart idea,” because she wants him to enjoy life before he thinks “he has to work just to stay alive.”<\/p>\n

“You can do this your whole life \u2014 why start now?” she said, as quoted in the New York Post.<\/p>\n

Boyd said she will happily “fund his existence,” so her son can continue to pursue his interests and hobbies.<\/p>\n

“I said I\u2019ll give him money to do stuff. I can fund your existence,” she said, acknowledging that she is in a “privileged” position to be able to do so.<\/p>\n

Fox News contributor Mollie Hemmingway said that while it\u2019s important for kids not to grow up too fast, it\u2019s a parent\u2019s job to instill a sense of responsibility and a strong work ethic in their children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I understand the argument that you want a child to enjoy their childhood. That\u2019s a very important thing. But part of being a kid is learning how to shoulder responsibility and grow up and learn more about the world\u2026 and you would want that to happen while they\u2019re still under your roof. So we\u2019re totally cheating kids by not letting them get \u2013 a summer job, what\u2019s the problem? It\u2019s not going to conflict with school, you can save money for college. It seems like this lady has a very nice life but one that a lot of us might not be able to share,” she said on “The Big Weekend Show.”<\/p>\n

Recalling his own experience working in a pet shop as a teenager, co-host and Fox News national correspondent Griff Jenkins said Boyd is not doing her son any favors by urging him not to work.<\/p>\n

“She clearly loves this child so much\u2026cshe says \u2018I just want him to chase butterflies and count stars\u2019 but the problem is she\u2019s not doing him a favor because he\u2019s not eight. He\u2019s fifteen\u2026 you try and do things throughout the course of your children\u2019s lives to enable them that should you disappear from the Earth tomorrow, you\u2019ve given them the tools so they can survive. She loves her kid, but she\u2019s gonna have to help because he\u2019s 15, and soon he\u2019s going to have to learn to earn,” Jenkins said.<\/p>\n

Co-host Katie Pavlich shared a different perspective, crediting her mother for encouraging her to enjoy her teenage years without the rigidity of a nine to five job.<\/p>\n

“I grew up in a car wash, I worked really hard in blizzards\u2026I had a chore list, but I am so grateful to my mother. When I went to her when I was 15, 16 because all my friends were getting jobs at the tanning salon and the golf course. She said \u2018no.\u2019 You can do work at the car wash when we need you to, you can do your chores at home, but we want you to be able to be a teenager and go to basketball camp, go to law camp and to really enjoy being a teenager. And it was coming from my grandfather who told her, you have the rest of your life to work and it\u2019s true,” Pavlich said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I do like the idea that you need to learn how to to work and there are ways to do that without having a nine to five or a punch card at a restaurant or something like that\u2026I do appreciate her letting her kid be a kid<\/a>,” she added.<\/p>\n
