Mom Defends Herself After Being Criticized For How She Hugged Her Son At A Football Game

StefanieByStefanie

One mom has gone viral recently, and has taken a ton of criticism that (in my humble opinion) is completely unwarranted. On August 18th, Amber Wright embraced her 16 year old teen son, Brixton (her only real crime is naming a kid Brixton) after his football game. The nature of that embrace is what is under harsh critique. 

The embrace.

Apparently it’s just against the rules to be a hot mom with a teen son. That’s what I’m getting from this story.

That caption with this post read:

“This boy will forever and always have my entire heart. Gina captured the end of this moment, and I’m so grateful. When I walked up to hug my baby boy after his game, he immediately picked me up and just held me.”

“I honestly don’t know what I did to deserve you @brix_wright, but I am thankful every second of every single day with you.”

Here’s the infamous post:

Her son ever responded to the post.

Since that backlash received for her post, she has released a statement defending herself.

Here’s what people are saying in the comments. A mix of disapproval and praise:
