Tori Spelling came up with a creative solution after her son mentioned he wanted to earn a little extra cash around the house.

On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the actress, 51, posted a photo on her Instagram Stories, sharing that her 7-year-old son Beau had asked her to do some chores around the house in exchange for allowance. In the picture, Spelling can be seen lying down on a bed in the nude with a pink blanket covering her lower half.

Beau is pictured massaging his mom's legs while Spelling writes across the image, "Beau said he wanted to do chores in exchange for an allowance...solid plan."

Spelling shares her five kids — Liam Aaron, 17, Stella Doreen, 16, Hattie Margaret, 13, Finn Davey, 12, and Beau Dean, 7 — with ex Dean McDermott.

Back in April, Spelling opened up about how close she and Beau are. The actress shared on an episode of her podcast that she used to have McDermott stand with her while she went to the bathroom, but the practice has since fallen to her kids amid their split.

Admitting that she hasn't "pooped [or] peed alone in 18 years," the star explained that "first it was Dean, then it was kids."

"Beau still stands there and stares and talks to me while I'm pooping," Spelling shared on her podcast. "I think I function better with people."

"Is that co-dependent?" the mom of five asked herself, then answered, "Yes. Cool."

In an August episode, Spelling shared that she started dressing Beau for school the night before.

"It's so bad. I've gotten so lazy with my youngest one because there's so many, that at night I put him in his clothes for the next day," the Beverly Hills: 90210 alum shared with a laugh, adding, "And convinced him that it's cool to do that."

Spelling then explained how she's "rationalized" the new routine with her son.

"So, he has dinner, he takes his bath — sometimes— but then I'll be like, 'Hey, dude. It will save an extra five minutes if we get dressed now and then you can sleep later,' " she recalled of the initial conversation.

"And I can sleep later wink wink," the mom of five said. "So he's like, 'Yeah.' So, he sleeps in his clothes."

The podcast host then jokingly asked, "Am I a bad mom?"
