Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner’s Kids Have Jobs


When his teenager fought back, insisting that they had ample money to buy the shoes, Affleck joked that he told his son, “I have the money! You’re broke.”

And it’s part of the mentality the Batman v. Superman actor is hoping to raise his kids with. Though he emphasized that when it comes to his trio, he wants to “give them everything and do everything,” it would ultimately be a “disservice” to refrain from setting boundaries, noting, “You have to work for that.”

“My son, who’s 13, he’s reckoning with that reality right now,” Affleck continued. “He’s looking at no shoes in his closet—well, he’s got shoes, just no crazy expensive fancy shoes—and I’m like, ‘Well, if you want that, you can work 1,000 hours.’ You know what I mean? Minimum wage. And once you work 1,000 hours, you may not want to spend that on a pair of sneakers.”

And it turns out, the Argo director may have been right because it didn’t take long before the shoes didn’t seem all that appealing to the 13-year-old.
