She’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom: Esther Boyd refuses to allow her son to get a job because he will “have his entire life to work”
She’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom.
“It seems like I have been working forever — I’m already physically and mentally ready to retire,” Esther, 33, told South West News Service, explaining that she’s been working since she was just 14.“I told him, ‘I don’t want you to get a job. I don’t think it is a smart idea,’ ” Esther explained, arguing that she doesn’t want him to think “he has to work just to stay alive.
“I think it’s insane to tell a small child who is 14 to go out into the world and get a job for experience, as if they are not going to get that experience their whole life,” she said, adding that her son is still “young.”Noah’s friends are employed, which inspired him to ask his mom about applying for jobs, too, desiring “money to do stuff.”
“I want him to be encouraged to do what he wants,” said Esther, who believes “work is not all it is cracked up be.”She advised fellow parents to give their children freedom to explore new hobbies — like woodwork and rock climbing, which Noah also enjoys.
