Tyler Perry shares the life lessons he taught his son
Tyler Perry recently went on ‘The Sherri Shepherd Show’ and opened up about how he raises his son and the life lessons he teaches him. When Sherri asked about Aman’s Christmas list, Perry truthfully said, “he didn’t get any Christmas list.”
Sherri Shepherd can’t believe how strict Perry is during the holidays, but he makes it clear that Aman only gets two things: “books and Legos.”
When Sherri asked, “Is that all?” Tyler replied, “He doesn’t have a job – what else is he going to get?” The filmmaker said he was determined not to raise a spoiled child. He even shared a story about Aman complaining about long lines when flying commercially, so he started offering him a job as a flight instructor.
“He won’t be one of those ridiculous and spoiled rich kids. I can’t stand that, no! He won’t go without money!” Tyler said.
