The bond shared between a parent and child is endearing and enduring, and one that nurtures the morals, principles, and personality of the little ones as they grow.
Each parent has a unique approach on how to raise their children, some techniques influenced by culture, socioeconomic factors, mental and physical health, or just preference.
Tom, from Yorkshire, England, is a doting and devoted father of two who refuses to allow his technique of parenting to be influenced by trolls and their negative comments.
Frequently posting videos on TikTok, the father gets a lot of attention from women, swooning over his icy blue eyes, accent, perfectly chiseled and tattooed body, or over his love for his sons, 5-year-old Roman, and Raphael Reign, who was born mid-May, 2023.
A lot of the videos Tom now shares on TikTok are him fielding accusations that he’s confusing Roman, also putting the little boy in danger of strangers or infection.
But Tom refuses to surrender.
On June 27, the northern England dad stood up to a user who said, “Just gorgeous both but don’t kiss him on the lips.”
In his response, Tom emphasized he would continue showering his five-year-old son with love, as long as he allowed. Tom says, “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 and 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 poured in with supportive thoughts like, “Love kisses with my kids and now my granddaughter–the people who think it’s wrong are the worry xx.” Another, who lost her father, said: “absolutely ridiculous! I always kissed my dad on the lips and I lost him 2 years ago and I wish I could cuddle him and kiss him again.”
Tom replied to the thoughtful comments: “He is the most loving little boy and it’s because we raise him with love. Thank you for these comments.”
In a witty post that has almost 123,000 likes, Tom shares the message, “Wow. So I kiss my 5 year old son on the lips he will get cavities. He’ll get cavities from his daddy kissing him.” Tom then turns to Roman and asks what he thinks. “Don’t be silly!” the boy replies, giggling and sealing the statement with a kiss on his daddy’s lips.
Fans had a lot to say about the unsupported claim that Tom kissing Roman will cause cavities. “omg …who educated that person…you kiss away you two,” writes one, while another adds, “that is soooo ridiculous..and I work (with or as) a dentist. carry on being the loving dad you are… son is so cute”
