Ben Affleck demonstrates tough love in parenting, particularly regarding material possessions. During a sneaker shopping outing, he encouraged his son Samuel to save for a pair of expensive shoes instead of buying them outright. Even with a substantial net worth, Affleck believes in instilling values of hard work and responsibility in his children. This approach resonated with audiences, illustrating a modern parenting standpoint that challenges entitlement, even in affluent families. His humorous remarks at a recent premiere further emphasized his commitment to grounding his kids amidst wealth.
You like those 'cause they're expensive,' Ben told his son, who replied, 'No, they're tough! I've always said they look good.' Despite Sam's defense, Ben was reluctant to make the purchase and suggested that the teen should start saving up to buy them himself, saying: 'That's a lot of lawns you gotta' mow there!'
That's what happens when you tell a motherfucker you have to mow a lawn - all of a sudden, they don't want those shoes anymore,
I'm like, 'You do not need thousand-dollar shoes!' He's like, 'We have the money' - I have the money, you're broke!
