Tyler Perry shares the life lessons he’s teaching his son
Tyler Perry recently stopped by “The Sherri Shepherd Show” and talked about how he’s raising his son and the life lessons he’s teaching him. When Sherri asked about Aman’s Christmas list, Perry remained honest and said: “He doesn’t get a Christmas list.”
Sherri Shepherd couldn’t believe how strict Perry was about it over the holidays, but he made it clear that Aman only gets two things: “Books and Legos.”
When Sherri asked, “That’s it?” Tyler responded with: “He doesn’t have a job – what else will he get?” The filmmaker said he insists on not raising a spoiled child. He even told a story about Aman complaining about long lines on commercial flights, so he started flying him to the trainer.
“He won’t be one of those ridiculous, spoiled rich kids. I can’t stand this, no! He won’t get any money!” Tyler said.
