Mia, a dedicated single mom, felt a spark of hope with her new boyfriend, Jake. After four months of dating, they planned a weekend getaway to his family’s beach house. It seemed perfect, especially for her son, Luke, who was excited about the trip.
As a fourth-grade teacher, Mia loved her job and appreciated the time it allowed her to spend with Luke. His father rarely visited, so Mia was determined to create a happy home for them both.
Finally, she decided to introduce Luke to Jake. One sunny day, she nervously asked Luke if he wanted to meet someone special for lunch. He was intrigued and, after a fun lunch, the two bonded over dinosaurs and Lego. They enjoyed several weekends together, and Mia felt confident about their growing relationship.
When Jake invited them to his beach house, Mia and Luke were thrilled. Upon arriving, Jake’s parents welcomed them warmly. After exploring, Jake showed Luke his childhood toys while Mia admired the nostalgic room.
But everything changed when Luke suddenly rushed downstairs, pale and trembling. “Mom, we need to leave! I found a box with bones in Jake’s room!” Mia’s heart raced. “What do you mean, bones?”
“Real bones, Mom!” Luke insisted. Panic set in. Had she misjudged Jake? “Stay here”, she told Luke, her voice shaking. She hurried back to Jake’s room, and her heart dropped when she found the box under the bed. Inside were actual bones. Without thinking, she took Luke’s hand, and they bolted out of the house.
As they sped away, Mia’s phone buzzed with calls from Jake, but she couldn’t bear to answer. Once parked on the roadside, she called 911, fearing the worst. The police quickly called back. “Mia, the bones are fake,” the officer reassured her. “They’re replicas for teaching.”
Relief washed over her, but guilt quickly followed. How could she have jumped to such conclusions? With a deep breath, Mia called Jake. “I’m so sorry”, she said. “I was scared for Luke and overreacted.”
“Mia, it’s okay”, Jake replied. “You were just protecting him. Let’s turn this into a funny story, not a reason to break up.” Mia smiled, feeling lighter. She reassured Luke that everything was fine and they drove back to the beach house, where Jake’s parents were understandably worried.
After explaining the situation and apologizing for their abrupt departure, they spent the rest of the day relaxing by the ocean. That day became a fond memory, marking the start of an even stronger bond between Mia and Jake. Now, they often laugh about the wild escape from the beach house, grateful that it only brought them closer together. What do you think?
Internet Erupts as Dad Defends Kissing Son on the Lips!
Tom from England loves showing affection to his young son, Roman. However, when their sweet moments were shared on social media, not everyone was happy.
Some people criticized Tom for kissing his five-year-old son on the lips, accusing him of confusing his child. But Tom, from northern England, isn’t backing down. He’s using humor and simple logic to fight back against the trolls. Roman supports his dad, telling the critics, “You are all crazy!”
The bond between a parent and child is special and helps shape the child’s morals, principles, and personality. Every parent has their own way of raising their children, influenced by factors like culture, socioeconomic status, health, or personal preference.
Tom, from Yorkshire, England, is a loving father of two. He doesn’t let the negative comments from trolls affect his parenting style. He often posts videos on TikTok and gets a lot of attention from women who admire his blue eyes, accent, fit and tattooed body, and most importantly, his love for his sons, 5-year-old Roman and Raphael Reign, who was born in mid-May 2023.
A lot of Tom’s videos on TikTok show him addressing accusations that he’s confusing Roman and putting him in danger of strangers or infections.
But Tom won’t give up.
On June 27, a user told Tom, “Just gorgeous both but don’t kiss him on the lips.” Tom responded by saying he would continue showing his five-year-old son love as long as Roman allowed it. Tom said, “I find it worrying that it bothers you. I will kiss my son, my five-year-old child, on the lips for as long as I deem necessary and as long as he lets me, right, because I love him to bits and he’s my best pal. One day he won’t want me to, and he probably won’t want much to do with me. So, for now, I’ll carry on as I am.”
Fans shared supportive comments like, “Love kisses with my kids and now my granddaughter–the people who think it’s wrong are the worry xx.” Another person, who lost her father, said: “Absolutely ridiculous! I always kissed my dad on the lips, and I lost him 2 years ago. I wish I could cuddle him and kiss him again.”
Tom replied to the kind comments, saying, “He is the most loving little boy, and it’s because we raise him with love. Thank you for these comments.”
However, one user’s outrageous accusation got a quick response from Tom. The person wrote, “Shouldn’t kiss him because of the bacteria in your mouth. Did you know you can make your child more susceptible to cavities if you have them and kiss them?”\
In a popular post with almost 123,000 likes, Tom shared a witty message: “Wow. So if I kiss my 5-year-old son on the lips, he’ll get cavities. He’ll get cavities from his daddy kissing him.” Tom then asked Roman what he thought. Giggling, Roman replied, “Don’t be silly!” and kissed his dad on the lips.
Fans had a lot to say about the unfounded claim that Tom kissing Roman could cause cavities. One person wrote, “Omg …who educated that person…you kiss away, you two,” while another added, “That is soooo ridiculous…and I work with a dentist. Carry on being the loving dad you are… your son is so cute.”
In early July, Tom posted a viral video of him and Roman sitting in a car, with nearly 579,000 likes. In the video, Tom said, “Don’t worry. Absolutely nothing’s going to change.” He then turned to his son and asked, “Roman, what do you think of people who say you shouldn’t kiss me on the lips?”
Roman responded emphatically, “You are all crazy. That’s my daddy!” The video ended with the pair sharing a sweet kiss.
Fans jumped in defending the cause of his post, and supporting the father, one writes, “Some people are just sick he is adorable and would soon tell ya when he gets older if he didn’t like it.” Another writes, “we kiss on the cheeks in my culture, but i really love that father-son relationship.”
One user chimed in and speaking to the Yorkshire father’s trolls, she asked “have you a problem with him kissing him on the lips because he is a man? Because if this was his mom, I’m sure you wouldn’t.”
Responding to the comment and thanking the woman for highlighting the issue, Tom said, “I’ve genuinely been curious about this because it’s something I’ve thought about too. I don’t think anyone would say anything if it was a mom kissing her little boy. For some reason, when it’s a dad kissing his son, people always have something to say, and I don’t understand why—it’s always this weird minority.” He added, “I’m glad a woman brought this up, so I really appreciate that. And I’m not changing anything.”
In another video, Tom looks visibly frustrated as he responds to a comment suggesting that kissing his son could make the boy vulnerable to dangerous strangers. The commenter wrote, “Don’t kiss your children on the lips, fact. Because not all humans have the right intentions. Do you see what I’m saying? Don’t make it acceptable!”
Tom joked in his response, “So the logic here is, if I kiss my five-year-old, he will think that he can go off and it’s okay to kiss strangers, strange adults… obviously!” Holding back his laughter, he continued, “So let’s apply that logic. I can’t have him in my car anymore to take him places because he could get in a stranger’s car and think that’s normal. He can’t live in my house anymore…well he could just walk into a stranger’s house and think that that’s normal.”
Then, the devoted dad suggested a different approach: “Or we could, now hear me out, we could… teach him that he’s got a mummy and a daddy and kissing them is normal but kissing dodgy Barry down the road is a bit weird.”
Most people in his online community support Tom and love seeing the affection he shows his son. They’re happy that Tom doesn’t back down to online trolls who have no right to tell him how to parent.
What do you think about dads kissing their children on the lips? Do you think it’s okay for moms to do the same?
