‘They have to work. All my
kids know that and they
rarely ask me for anything,
which I really respect and
appreciate.
‘Obviously, if they were in
trouble I would help them,
but I’ve never really had to
do that. They have the work
ethic that makes them want
to succeed on their own
merit.’
Sting is not the only
celebrity who expects their
children to stand on their
own feet.
Celebrity chef Nigella
Lawson said a few years
ago: ‘I am determined that
my children should have no
financial security. It ruins
people not having to earn
money.’
