A mum’s Facebook post about her son’s socks is going viral.
Shona Campbell collected her son from nursery one day, only to hear another child mocking his socks because they had hearts on them.
To make matters worse, the child’s mother then agreed and laughed at what he said about her 3-year-old.
Shona took to Facebook to express her disappointment about the incident and her post has been shared over 40,000 times.
To the mother at nursery picking up your child. You may have thought I didn't hear you but let me assure you I did!!…

She explained: “My son is 3 years old, he loves love hearts, he loves the colour pink, he loves to play with dolls and prams. But what he loves more than anything, is having the independence to make his own choices. He chose these socks in the shop, and he chose to wear them today.
“Why should we teach our children that certain things are for girls/boys?? If my son wants to wear a dress, he can!! If he wants to wear a big fluffy hat, he can!! And if he wants to wear socks with love hearts, HE CAN!! I am bringing up my son to be whoever he wants to be and I do not appreciate people like you poking fun at him, telling him he’s wrong for what he wears or dictating what he should or shouldn’t do/wear.
“This is the perfect age to allow our children to make their own decisions and let them figure out who THEY want to be, not who society says they should be! This is MY SON. And I love him.”
And we love her post! Let us know what you think about it on Facebook or Twitter.
