Single Utah Mom Dresses Up As A Man To Attend Dads and Doughnuts Day At Her Sons School

Social media is praising Whitney Kittrell for stepping in and dressing up like a man, so she could support her son at his school’s event.

The school was having a “Dads and Doughnuts” breakfast, and according to NYDN, Whitney’s son’s father isn’t in his life, so she dressed up as a man because she didn’t want him to feel left out.

“When my kindergartener came home with a paper saying that they were having ‘Dads and Doughnuts,’ my heart kinda sank,” she shared on Facebook. “I finally sat him down and asked if he wanted to ask his grandpa to go. He just smiled and said, ‘No. I want you to go. You’re my mom and dad.'”

Whitney admitted that when she showed up, she caught a couple of stares, but her son broke the ice by explaining to his classmates, “This is my mom…she’s my dad too so I brought her.

This was a day he definitely won’t forget!

“When I went to leave, [my son] ran after me and hugged me tight around my neck and whispered ‘Mom, I know that you’ll always be there and do anything for me. Thank you. I love you,'” she recalled. “He kissed my cheek and ran off.”
