“16 & Pregnant” star Nikkole Paulun is showing the world how much of a little gentleman her 6-year-old son Lyle is. According to a recent Facebook post, he regularly takes her out to dinner and pays out of his allowance.
Nikkole says that Lyle takes her out at least once a month for a mother-son dinner date.
“He opens doors for me, pulls out my chair, talks about his day and asks how mine was, pays the bill with money he earned by doing chores, and even tips the waiter/waitress,” wrote Nikkole.
“I am teaching him how to treat a lady and how to take her on a proper date. How to show that he respects the woman he loves (right now that would be mommy).”
“I’m teaching him table manners and that it’s rude to sit on your phone on a date.”
“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 a tip.”
Nikkole briefly references troubled past relationships as a reason for encouraging Lyle’s behaviour: “It’s never too early to teach your child how to properly respect others, especially women.”
Lyle, if you ever want to take us out for some lunch we’re free, er, pretty much always.
