Mom who refuses to let teenage son get a job sparks debate: Is a work ethic overrated?
Fox News
A mom who refuses to let her teenage son get a job said she is willing to 'fund his existence' so he can enjoy the last years of his youth and pursue his passions without worrying about the pressures of working.
"I’ve had a very hectic load of life experience quite early on, and I’ve done so many things and achieved so many things and my work ethic is insane, yes, but that’s what I don’t 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?"

Boyd told South West News Service that "it seems like I have been working forever — I’m already physically and mentally ready to retire," she said. She explained that she told her son "I don’t want you to get a job. I don’t think it is a smart idea," because she wants him to enjoy life before he thinks "he has to work just to stay alive."
