There comes a time in every teen's life when they have to decide who to go to prom with. A friend group? A date? Flying solo? The possibilities are seemingly endless.
One teen mom, though, decided to bring a date that no one else was bound to have: her toddler son. A TikTok showing pictures from her prom experience has gone viral recently.
The video consists of a collage of pictures showing herself and the special little man in her life, getting dressed up and ready for the big day.
She then shows her son, 1-year-old Arthur, in an absolutely adorable suit, followed by pics of the two together in rapid-fire succession.
As of July 13th, the video has garnered over 1.6 million views, as well as over 220k likes, and a few thousand comments. Many commenters couldn't get over how cute and wholesome the video was.
"That’s one of the most cutest videos I’ve ever seen awh bless," one user wrote.
"Wow this is so cute I wish you and him the best," said another commenter.
Mccabe had her son at 15, and has been raising him with the support of her brother and sister-in-law. She's been on the receiving end of a number of negative comments throughout this time, the Liverpool Echo reports.
But Mccabe worked hard and got her GCSE, which would be the U.K. equivalent of a high school diploma. She plans to study health and social care in college.
But when she brought her son to prom, she'd received a lot of positive comments and compliments from other students and teachers.
She went on to say, "It was so nice because people who I don’t normally even speak to were coming up and saying how cute Arthur is and saying how proud they are of me."
"My deputy head and my form tutor especially have been so supportive throughout it all," said. "They’re the people who’ve got me through the bad times being a mum."
Being a parent is tough, and being a teen parent is especially challenging. But Mccabe's story shows that with enough support, any mom can make a future for herself and her child.
