MTV's '16 & Pregnant' star Nikole Paulun's Facebook post about son goes viral

A young mom featured on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant, Nikkole Paulun, is getting a lot of attention for a Facebook post she shared of a tradition she has once a month with her 6-year-old son.

In an effort to teach her son a lesson on respecting women, Paulun shared she has her son spend the money he earned on doing chores by taking her out to dinner.

“Once a month my 6 year old son takes me out on a dinner date,” she explained. “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.”

Paulun, who has two sons, also wrote in her viral post that she has been treated poorly by men in her past and it’s important to instill these values in her son, Lyle, early.

“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,” she wrote. “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.”
