Kiera-Rose

[AfroCircus]

I think she's been heavily influenced by 'crunchy' parenting advocates. That Q and A where she suggested expectant mothers watch 'the business of being born', which is essentially a propaganda film about homebirth which would terrify a nervous mum. She was sharing some stuff about child trafficking last year which was very Qanon leading. The homeschool thing fits the narrative too.

Obvs homeschooling works for some families. But red flags of projecting her own issues onto Lana about schools and the fact that she doesn't seem to have much of a circle so Lana can socialise and make friends. To each their own and everything but I do think deciding your one year old will never go to school is just as sheeplike as crunchy parents think the traditional school route is.

As much as I like Keira, it all seems a bit indulgent. At some point you have to let your baby off the boob to make their own way and socialise outside of your bubble.

Agree with all of the above, she is already so isolated herself and doesnt push herself to go out, so will she make the effort to get her kid meeting up with other homeschoolers etc. Also does she have any teaching experience herself at all? And what happens when you add more kids into the mix and they get older? If you were a teacher in a past life you'd be able to handle different needs, styles abilities etc but if you've got a 12 & 14 year old at home and ones ahead and one is average... i mean im sure people put there do amazingly at it but on the other hand thats quite a task she's setting herself, and again surely that relies on them making enough money for her to stay at home, unless she's planning on staying just within the limits to maximise any universal credit claims (which thinking about it would be pretty easy to do with her shop, just close it if it starts creeping up)

Ooohkay so at the end of her last video it lists all her patreons and she does 9 personal shout outs to. The personal shout out subscription is £15.50 a month, and even the basic sponsor is £4. 9 shoutouts = £139.50 and there were about 60 other names in the scrolling list so thats 240, so she makes £380 a month just from Patreon - i mean fairly play really if someones willing to pay it

On her Patreon page it says she has 156 subscribers - so even if everybody has the very basic package at £4 per month, that's already £624! And we know there's people paying more. Is that how this works?

I was her patreon for one month just to see if it's worth paying for extra content, but her uploads were very very sparse. It might have changed now though..

I find Alex very useless and she is an enabler. It's very frustrating to watch.
Mental illness sucks, a lot! He obviously has 0hysical illness too BUT Last thing he needs is someone enabling it and not allowing him to even try and succeed at anything, he'salready just "there", not providing anything to the household. She's gone mum to baby and mum to him also and it feels like she's the one pushing this. I wonder if she cuts up his good for him also, because I bet he doesn't do that the right way either.
I'm glad she let him hold his child now and again.

Personal opinions, not a rave thread, don't come for me

Haven't seen any of her recent videos, is this coming from one of them?

she’s on the path to giving her daughter some separation/anxiety issues, surely? Co-sleeping, home schooling… each to their own (as long as the child is not in danger) but surely it’d be healthier for there to be some independence somewhere along the line?

Wait what do you mean? Isn't he the breadwinner and just got a new job? If anything I would have said Alex was enabling Kiera to be dependent on him and their family and isolate herself from the world.

Being homeschooled doesn't mean the kid has no independence (not saying you were implying that but as a former homeschooled kid I get annoyed by certain stereotypes haha) I think as Lana gets older she'll ease up a bit, at least I hope. It's obviously been difficult during covid as well to take her anywhere and socialise her.
At least if she has more kids like she wants then she can't be constantly attached to all of them all of the time and they'll get a bit more freedom.

I do like kiera and find her videos relaxing usually, but I did cringe a bit at her most recent one when she threw the party for Alex. The way she spoke about it I was expecting a few more people to be there and he didn't seem to understand why they were saying surprise when he walked in. Like apart from putting up some decorations it wasn't much of a surprize/party. He also didn't seem that comfortable doing the scavenger hunt.. I don't know it just made me cringe. I was expecting them to see more people or friends

Kiera mentioned on her stories that she struggled with addiction - what do people think it is? I have no idea.

Also sorry for double posting, but a friend recently told me she knew about Kiera because she was in a BBC documentary back in 2013 I think about mental health. Not sure if she talked about it in that at all as I haven't seen it

oh I know, I felt a bit bad about the party too. Made no sense and they did Father’s Day stuff as well so didn’t seem like Alex got much of a fuss..? He didn’t seem into it at all. Very strange..

She has to use that money from her crappy jewellery some how.

So Lana has her first cold at almost 14 months old. I know we’ve been in lockdown a fair bit, but she really needs to start socialising with her baby. My daughter is a similar age, also BF and vegan, and has managed to pick up colds from toddler groups, family visits, play dates etc. It’s not pleasant when they are poorly, but they need to build up their immune systems.

Sadly Kiera seems to have built herself a life where she can stay firmly within her comfort zone- aka at home where she never has to be in a challenging environment and even interacting with people she doesn't know. She really needs to realise the impact that is having on herself and her daughter

So many red flags with this girl. She keeps sharing posts form an anti-vaxxer who thinks suncream causes skin cancer.

Always suspected this about Kiera not the brightest star. A crunchy mum though! Hopefully she sticks to one kid and just like Rhiannon focuses on that..

Kiera’s defo gonna be one of those parents breastfeeding their kids when they’re about to go to secondary school

I’m glad she was able to get the groundbreaking advice to buy Calpol for her baby with a cold, I don’t know where she would have found that otherwise!
