Teenagers are always looking for ways to earn extra money. Parents can sometimes feel more like an ATM than mom or dad.

When a teenager asked his father for money, he decided to take an unconventional approach. Instead of requiring him to find a job or giving him an allowance based on household chores, the father made his son work to earn money in a unique way that benefited his younger siblings .

The father agreed to give his teenage son a dollar for every compliment he gave his sisters.

In a TikTok video viewed more than 13 million times, teen’s stepmother shared a clip of him asking his father for money. The father agreed but on one condition: “I will give you a dollar for every compliment you give to one of your sisters,” he said.

“Scarlett is very creative. Layla is very pretty,” he said.

As the father handed him a dollar for the compliment addressed to Scarlett, he advised her against compliments that describe girls’ physical appearanceurging the teenager to focus on certain aspects of his personality.

“Layla is very imaginative,” he said, earning a dollar.

“Vivian is a good friend to everyone,” he said of his third sister.

The boy then complimented his stepmother and father.

“Caitlin is a great stepmother,” he said, although his father insisted he needed an exclamation point at the end of his sentence rather than a period interrogation. The teenager repeated the compliment with a little more enthusiasm, which earned him money.

Her compliment to Dad didn’t bring her any money, however.

“Daddy makes us Benjamin’s,” he said, referring to the money in his hand.

The teen’s father rejected his compliment because he is unemployed, and it is George Washington, not Benjamin Franklin, on the $1 bill.

“You’re a very hilarious guy,” he corrected himself. However, his father was not satisfied and insisted that he try again.

After spitting another empty complimenteven claiming that his father was “acting like a girlfriend” for not accepting them, the teen eventually described his father as “loving and supportive,” earning him another dollar.

“We’re doing this now, moving forward,” her mother-in-law Caitlin wrote in the caption of her video.

The father’s creative money-making opportunity benefits both his son and his daughters, who are reminded of their strengths by their brother.

Giving and receiving compliments has a profound positive effect on both parties.

“Having a habit of giving compliments helps us notice and appreciate what is good and what we like in those around us,” Marcia Naomi Berger, licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. told NBC News.

“It’s very easy to take ourselves for granted or just mention the negative things that need solutions,” she continued. “So making a concerted effort to notice all the good things in your partner (or family member or friend) is important.”
