A Facebook post that 16 & Pregnant alum Nikkole Paulun shared about her son Lyle taking her out on dinner dates has gone viral.

The status, shared back on January 1st, has now been shared well over 500,000 times! ABC News picked it up and it’s been spreading like wild fire ever since:

Here’s what Paulun wrote (she also included the image above):

 

Once a month my 6 year old son takes me out on a dinner date. He opens doors for me, pulls out my chair, talks about his day & asks me how mine was, pays the bill with money he earned by doing chores, and even tips the waiter/waitress. By doing this I am teaching him how to treat a lady & how to take her on a proper date. How to show that he respects the woman he loves (right now that would be mommy). We put our phone and iPad away (except to take this photo) and sit and talk to each other about our days, things we want to do, etc. I’m teaching him proper table manners and that it’s rude to sit on your phone on a date with your mom or with anyone else. He learns the value of money and how to manage it. He learns how to do math as we add up what we want and make sure we have 15% of it to leave for a tip. Yes he is young but I believe this is something he should learn now. It’s never too early to teach your child how to properly respect others, especially women. As a woman who has been abused & treated like crap in the past, it’s extremely important to me that I teach my son how to show respect. Too many men these days have no idea how to treat women or how to take them on a nice date. It’s nice to know my son won’t be one of them.

 

When ABC News spoke with Nikkole she said she believes that her intended lessons of respect and good manners are “working well.”
