Ramsay’s cooking with gas in bringing up his children

GORDON RAMSAY has been talking about his tough parenting strategy. His older children had to earn their pocket money, doing household chores such as washing dishes. Then they had to budget to make it last.

In addition, he refused to give them jobs in his restaurants — although they did appear in many of his lifestyle TV shows, enough of a career boost for any thrusting teen. However, good for him and wife Tana — who always fly first-class but stick the kids in economy. I approve!

They must have felt vindicated — and proud — when elder son Jack (pictured right with his dad and baby brother Oscar) joined the Marines last year, proving that not all SADS (Sons And Daughters of Success) have to end up being photographers or models or whatever, yeah.
