But when their tender moments\u2014like kissing on the lips\u2014went viral on TikTok, online trolls lashed out. Critics accused Tom of confusing his son, spreading bacteria, or encouraging unsafe behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom didn\u2019t back down. Responding with humor and love, he included Roman in videos, who declared, \u201cYou\u2019re all crazy!\u201d Fans rallied behind the duo, praising their bond and dismissing the negativity. \u201cWe raise him with love,\u201d Tom said, emphasizing that affection is the foundation of Roman\u2019s character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One video with over 123,000 likes humorously challenged the claim that kissing causes cavities. In another, Tom asked Roman what he thought of the backlash. Roman replied, \u201cThat\u2019s my dad!\u201d and kissed him again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom questioned if the criticism stemmed from gender bias\u2014would people react the same if it were a mother and child? With dignity and strength, he vowed to keep parenting his way: with open, unapologetic love. As he wisely noted, \u201cOne day he won\u2019t want kisses anymore, so I\u2019ll enjoy them while I can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=59756\">also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom, a devoted father from Yorkshire, England, never misses a chance to show affection to his five-year-old son, Roman.
