This Mam's powerful status about letting her son wear what he wants is going insanely viral
Shona Campbell / Facebook Shona Campbell / Facebook / Facebook
A FEW DAYS ago, Shona Campbell was collecting her three-year-old son from nursery school when another child and his mother mocked him for wearing socks with hearts on them.
When she got home, the young mother, who hails from North Ayrshire, Scotland, decided to pen a Facebook status about the incident in which she criticised the mother for laughing at her child and implored others not to let children be who they want to be.
“To the mother at nursery picking up your child,” she wrote. “You may have thought I didn’t hear you but let me assure you I did.”
She explained that her son loves hearts and the colour pink, and chose the socks himself.
She then criticised the mother in question for poking fun at her son. “Why should we teach our children that certain things are for girls/boys?” she wrote. “If my son wants to wear a dress, he can!! If he wants to wear a big fluffy hat, he can!! And if he wants to wear socks with love hearts, HE CAN!!”
Damn straight.
Campbell’s status has evidently struck a chord with other mothers as it has been shared over 42,000 times as of publication of this article. (And that number is increasing every few minutes.)
