Peter Andre 's wife Emily has revealed that they do not spoil their kids in an effort to teach their youngsters the value of money.
The 31-year-old medic, who has been married to Peter since 2015, revealed that the pair are keen for their children to learn about time management and hard work and don't give them pocket money.
Peter and Emily are proud parents to Amelia, seven, and Theo, four. The Mysterious Girl singer also shares two children, Princess and Junior, with his ex-wife Katie Price.
Reflecting on how she hopes to educate her children about money, Emily revealed that she tried to keep their presents reasonable and wants them to understand that their parents must work.
"The kids have never had pocket money, but if they want something I won't just get it for them, I ill save it for a birthday or Christmas," she wrote in her OK! column.
"I keep their presents within reasonable limits so it's not too over the top. I also try to help them understand that Mum and Dad have to go to work so we are able to buy things for them. It's a hard concept for kids actually!"
Emily, who is now trained as a junior doctor, also revealed that she started working when she was just 15 and was grateful for the lessons it taught her.
The mum of two continued: "I got my first job when I was 15 as a babysitter and then I worked as a waitress in a restauraunt.
"It taught me about hard work and time management, so that's definitely something I will be encouraging them to do when they get to that age."
Emily's remarks come as the couple continues to debate whether to have more children in the future or not.
Throughout the last year, the couple had been tasked with homeschooling their kids, which they admitted was enough to make them think twice.
Speaking to The Sun earlier this year, Peter said: “If you could see the madness in this house the last thing you’d want to think about is having more children."
