‘Once a month my son takes me on a date’ — Mom’s Facebook post goes viral

MONROE, Michigan -- A young mother says she is teaching her son how to treat a woman right, and her Facebook post about it has gone viral.

Nikkole Paulun appeared on the MTV show "16 & Pregnant" and has been on the receiving end of some very negative social media posts. But this time, thousands of people are applauding her story.

On Friday night, January 1st, she posted about a "dinner date" between she and her six-year-old son. More than 2.7 million people have liked her story.


Some people criticized Paulun for making her son pay for the dinner, but she had an answer for that too.


By Monday afternoon, January 4th, the post had been shared nearly 500,000 times.

Facebook temporarily suspended Paulun's page Monday afternoon after people reported her as a fake account, Paulun told FOX 61, but her page and the viral post have since been restored.
