• Celebrity mom refuses to spoil children with luxury perks — makes them fly coach while she sits first class
• Emphasizes work ethic: ‘This is my money, not your money’ — kids must earn what they want
• Fans applaud old-school accountability approach in age of entitled celebrity offspring

Kristin Cavallari is taking a refreshing stand against the entitlement culture plaguing celebrity families. The 39-year-old reality TV star recently revealed a parenting strategy that has earned widespread praise from Americans tired of watching privileged kids handed everything on a silver platter.

During an appearance on the “Aspire with Emma Grede” podcast, Cavallari made it clear she’s not giving her children a free pass in life. “If they want something, they have to work for it,” she explained.

“I try to be very hyper-aware of that because they are growing up in a very fortunate situation, and I want them to know this is my money. This is not your money,” Cavallari said.

“Something as small as they fly coach. I’m flying in first class. That was important to me when they became old enough.”

The former “Hills” star joked that now that her kids are old enough to be trusted not to fight while alone, she has no problem telling them, “Bye guys, have fun back there.”

Cavallari shares three children with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler: sons Camden, 13, Jaxon, 12, and daughter Saylor, 10. The couple was married from 2013 to 2022.

Fans immediately rallied behind the accountability-focused approach. One YouTube commenter captured the sentiment: “She’s a real one for flying her kids coach while she is in first class haha.”

The move stands in stark contrast to the coddled celebrity offspring who grow up believing wealth and success are birthright rather than earned. Cavallari’s children are learning early that privilege comes with responsibility — and that comfort must be worked for.

During the same podcast appearance, Cavallari opened up about her divorce from Cutler, revealing that the success of her jewelry and skincare brand, Uncommon James, gave her “the confidence to leave my marriage.”

“Which is interesting because if I didn’t have Uncommon James, I could have taken half of his money, right? But because I had this company, there was a really large asset on our balance sheet,” she explained.

“I didn’t get anything, which I’m so happy about now. But I don’t get any money from my ex-husband. I had to give him half the value of Uncommon James in cash and properties and everything else. Yeah. Isn’t that interesting?”

Cavallari’s revelation comes on the heels of singer Jessica Simpson facing criticism for a similar situation — though Simpson defended herself, saying her mother bought first-class tickets as a treat.

The contrast was made public after Simpson’s ex-husband, Nick Lachey, mentioned during a “Watch What Happens Live!” appearance in May that he spotted Simpson in first class while her children and then-husband Eric Johnson were “in a separate class of service.”

“My mom bought those tickets. It was my mom’s treat for us to go to Hawaii,” Simpson later clarified to paparazzi.

Simpson shares three children with her estranged husband: Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 7.

While Simpson’s situation involved family dynamics and gifts from her mother, Cavallari’s approach represents a deliberate parenting philosophy — one rooted in teaching children the value of hard work and self-reliance.

Americans deserve better.
