Mila Thompson Declares War on Entitlement, We’re Here for It!
In the world of glitz and glam, Mila Thompson stands out as a breath of fresh air. Despite her and husband Leo’s impressive fortune, she remains refreshingly grounded. In a recent chat on the Australian podcast The Morning Show with Kyle and Jackie O, she opened up about her parenting philosophy, focusing on the importance of raising humble kids who won’t grow up to be, well, spoiled brats.
Before they even had kids, Mila and Leo had serious discussions about how to nurture their future children. “The one topic that kept coming up was, ‘How do you raise a child who doesn’t turn into a self-centered jerk?’” she shared, and it’s a question that resonates with parents everywhere. The challenge is finding the balance between providing a comfortable life and ensuring that kids appreciate what they have, rather than taking everything for granted.
Mila confessed, “We both came from pretty humble beginnings. We know the value of a dollar because nothing was handed to us.” With their daughter Ruby now 22 months old and a second baby on the way, Mila is determined to instill a strong work ethic in her kids. “Sure, Mommy and Daddy might have some cash, but you’re still poor, kiddos. You have to earn your keep!” she joked, referring to her own childhood experiences, where dinner might have been a bowl of ketchup soup.
Of course, she’s not literally suggesting her kids will be interviewing for jobs at preschool, but the point remains clear: wealth doesn’t equal entitlement. Mila and Leo want to make sure that Ruby and her sibling understand the importance of hard work and not just showing up to claim their inheritance.
This message is one that resonates with all parents, celebrity or otherwise. If you’ve ever heard your little ones say, “We can just buy a new one!” after breaking a toy, you might realize you’re in need of a little parental intervention yourself. It’s a gentle nudge for us to teach kids about the value of money and the effort that goes into earning it. Mila’s insights serve as a timely reminder of our parenting goals.
In a celebrity landscape often filled with kids who have wardrobes that could rival our own, it’s refreshing to see famous parents prioritizing the lessons of hard work, responsibility, and humility. Mila and Leo seem to be on the right track, and we’re all for it.
