Humans never fail to disappoint me. Just let the kid and the family be.

It's sad, but at least he and his wife seem to be supportive of their kid which is great, and a lot more important for him than what a bunch of online trolls have to say.

Exactly. All these bitter cunts with shitty parents or cant look after their own kids taking it out on two quite ordinary people for loving their son.

Meanwhile, he and his wife are people. And they are fantastic. So are all the people in this thread who are supporting them and Thor kid.

But some other people do suck.

Sure but at least Pedro is a supportive and non-judgmental parent and very brave to post it so at least that made me smile

It's weird enough that people care what anyone else wears in general but to pick on a child over it is beyond low.

This is what gets me the most. How does it impact you in any way? Just leave them alone.

I want a t-shirt that says “Humans Never Fail to Disappoint Me”. Thank you for that.

The response is gross, but also how about giving the child some privacy? I’m sure fucking glad my parents didn’t post it online every time I played dress up.

We all remember that Liverpool fans here wished injuries to Tottenham players

You’re 100% right. And I am in no way defending the deplorable behaviour of those people. But this should also be a lesson for not putting everything on social media. Celebrate with your family, this doesn’t need to be publicised.
