For some reason, society always seems to forget that moms are people too. It’s why we have phrases like “working mom” and not “working dad,” as if “mom” is the most important title and everything else is just a sidenote in a woman’s life. God forbid a mother has some carefree time without her kids every once in a while! Recently, Sophie Turner called out the haters who accused her of forgetting her two kids, who she shares with ex-husband Joe Jonas — and we love her for it!
The Game of Thrones alum recently shared snaps of herself having fun with friends at an Oasis concert. She was dancing and singing, smiling with friends, and kissing a picture of one of the band members in the post on Instagram. “Bucket hats & beers…. That’ll do me,” she captioned the post on Instagram.

It’s just some fun photos of a mom having a great time and a fun night out, but some people had a problem with it. “lmfao i think she has forgotten that she has two kids,” one person commented on her post, prompting a response from Turner.
“ah I’m so sorry sometimes I forget some people can’t think for themselves,” Turner replied. “So…. Get this….There’s this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.” (PEOPLE has a screenshot of the interaction HERE.)
Period! A woman shouldn’t have to defend herself for enjoying a night out, but we love the sassy way Turner handled this situation. Even if her kids were with a sitter instead of their dad, it would still be fine. Whether you are a celebrity or not, all moms deserve time with their friends.
In the comments, more people defended Turner. “Having kids and still being me – that’s the dream. 🔥👏” one person wrote. Seriously, there’s no law saying you have to give up everything you care about once you have a child. Not to mention, no one would say the same to a dad!

Someone else shared, “Me and my husband went to the concert and left our 8 year old with his God parents for the night…. we loved the concert…. he loved spending time with them… Parents are allowed lives…. go get yours.”
Turner and the Jonas Brothers singer share daughters Delphine, 2, and Willa, 4. The duo were married in 2019 and split in Aug. 2023. Despite their initial dramatic breakup, with Turner suing Jonas for allegedly keeping their daughters in America unlawfully, the exes have finalized their divorce and seem to be in a better co-parenting place now.
In July, an insider told PEOPLE that Turner and Jonas “have gotten into a co-parenting rhythm that really works and they’ve figured out how to communicate.”
“There’s a mutual respect now, and the girls are their priority. Joe and Sophie have hit a surprisingly peaceful groove,” the source continued, “and they’ve maintained an amicable relationship from two continents, which isn’t easy, but they’ve managed to pull it off.”
In May, Jonas opened up about co-parenting in an interview with motivational speaker Jay Shetty in a TikTok video. “I have a beautiful coparenting relationship that I’m really grateful for,” he said, per Daily Mail. “Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true.”
“As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them,” he continued. “I think what values I want for them are to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want.”
And seeing the example their mom sets for them, whether she’s going to a concert with a friend or chasing her dreams, is only going to help.
