“Honestly, why would you enable your child to not try to be something? I don’t know anybody who becomes anything if they’re just handed money,” Osmond said according to Hello Magazine. “To me, the greatest gift you can give your child is a passion to search out who they are inside and to work.”

Why did Osmond decide this: Osmond told Us Weekly while promoting her Nutrisystem partnership that she will not be giving inheritances to her kids because she wants to give her kids an opportunity to work hard and finish the projects that they start.

“That’s one of my rules with my kids. If you start it, you finish it, you don’t ever have to do It again, but you gotta finish. And, I just think all (an inheritance) does is breed laziness and entitlement. I worked hard and I’m gonna spend it all and have fun with my husband,” Osmond said.
