Meet Tom, a loving father from northern England who’s facing criticism for showing affection to his five-year-old son, Roman. Despite the backlash, Tom remains unapologetic about kissing his child on the lips, and his son has his back.
Tom’s heartwarming moments with Roman have gone viral on TikTok, but not everyone is pleased. Some accuse him of confusing his child, while others claim it’s unacceptable for a father to kiss his son on the lips. However, Tom won’t let the trolls dictate his parenting style.
With humor and logic, Tom fights back against the criticism. When told he’s putting Roman at risk of cavities, Tom jokingly responds, “So if I kiss my five-year-old son on the lips, he’ll get cavities?” Roman giggles and kisses his dad, saying, “Don’t be silly!”
