Kiera-Rose

[Millennial Pink]

I thought it was a bit weird that Alex was taken into hospital by himself because Kiera was at her mum's. Couldn't she have gone back to be with him? Especially as she said he was really scared of going.

Yeah, I don't understand that either. I don't understand why she didn't address it in the video- it sounds like Alex needed close attention? Hopefully someone was with him.

Beautiful video, I feel like Keira is wasted on Youtube.

I wonder if the kid ever socialises with others? Kiera has mentioned speech delays and obviously that can be caused by anything and is no one's fault. But it seems they spend most of their time frolicking in her mum's garden and there's no mention of play groups etc. Even if she's non verbal, socialising with other children is so important!

There seems to be a trend with influencers of kind of sheltering their kids and home-schooling is definitely a part of that.

Does she really know what working is? She strikes me as lazy.

If Little Doe requires her to work as hard as she's saying and as many hours as she has us believe then it isn't a sustainable job for her. I know people who have owned small businesses and have worked around the clock before deciding that it's just not working/ they aren't earning enough for it to be worthwhile. I'm interested to know how much profit she makes from it.

Also, ive never noticed how many patrons Kiera has, especially considering how few videos she makes. It's between £400 and £700 a month, depending on whether people pay £4 or £8. (72 named on the screen and 8 shout outs at the higher rate of £15).

Every upload has to have a breastfeeding picture!!! Why????

Because probably, as mom of a little baby who practices attachment parenting, this is what she does most of the time. If you don't like it, unfollow.

Didn’t give her very long, everyone knows it can take some kids a long time to get used to things like that, you don’t just give up. There are loads of ways to get Lana used to it.
Try harder, she’s your daughter, yes give her what she wants but only when it means doing what’s best for her in the end. Most kids get unsettled for a while when they start something like that. Even if they go back after being away for a while when they used to enjoy it.
Keiras own anxieties over leaving Lana there very likely influenced her daughters own feelings of it.

 

[Tanne1999]

I hate to say it, but she’s gone massively downhill since having Lana. There just seems to be even less stability since she arrived in both Kiera and Alex’s life.

 

[The Yoko Ono of GY]

True- I always kind of assumed that Kiera was actively stopping him from being involved because she seems so clingy with Lana but yeah could be that she hasn't had much choice or, as you say, that he's more involved than we see!

I remember her saying stuff like „I can’t take a shower, because I can’t leave the (then) baby alone for that long“ and we discussed on here, that she not even leaves L to A for the 5 min a shower lasts. (Maybe 15, with that glorious amount of hair tbf) I think, that’s what manifested our believe on here, she wants to stay the single one responsible for childcare.

You missed out the T in LBGT

I agree with yoko, nothing ‘po-mo blue-hair nonsense’, whatever that is, about it. It ties perfectly into the conservative homesteading posts she keeps sharing. I think if you’ve looked at a lot of that kind of account, which I have because I was bored one day lol, you start to see that lot of seemingly innocent posts actually have a gross ‘traditional’ undercurrent imo.

Going by your post here, you’re a walking, talking stereotype. What wonderful irony.

I have been a fan and followed Kiera for years, but finally had my first clicking off a video. When the first minute is just a compilation of loud Lana noises I noped out. Not sure why she thinks this is what we want to hear!

I like kids as much as the next person and I normally love cozy, domestic vlogs but something about her videos recently has just been mind-numbingly boring

 

[Erebus]

I agree that the new video is very depressing.
I also found it strange that she said she was surprised her income had dropped after her instagram had been deleted. What did she expect? Her business is nothing groundbreaking. Of course her following is the main reason it stays afloat. I feel like stopping making videos for youtube was a bad idea, and now she's lost her instagram too.

How does everyone feel about her photography skills? I honestly really like her photos (I'm not an expert at all though haha) and maybe she should lean more into it.

 

[xits_jjx]

^ whilst I agree with the former points, should Kiera have to involve him with Lana? It is his daughter after all, he should just do it without being asked.

it’s also a case of we only see what’s shown, he could be more hands on with her than we think

 

[raboyko]

It seems that whenever Lana grizzles she puts her on the boob. Isn't that just the equivalent of giving her a dummy? It might be just the editing, but that's how it comes across.
Also, is it weird to go to bed at the same time as your baby? It came across as though this was the nightly routine and from 7.30pm she was upstairs with Lana while Alex was presumably downstairs on his own ...

I think she naturally gravities towards attachment parenting. The boob is the natural way to soothe a baby, the dummy has been invented as a substitute for those not breastfeeding. Having a baby is tiring to be honest.

 

[xits_jjx]

I’ve always always always thought her photography is beautiful, I love the way she shoots and edits. It’s the main reason I originally followed her actually

 

[beans01]

I’m sure she said she was going to. To be honest I’m not all that surprised she’s pulled Lana out of nursery. Keira has always striked me as the type to kind of live of grid in terms of not sending her child to school or have a routine as such.

Isn't she planning to homeschool?

 

[Lemonz]

Anyone else spot this the other day...

There's an 'obsession' because people have jobs and commitments and other children they need to be awake for and sleep deprivation is horrible on your mental and physical health no matter what the source.
Such a sheltered existence that she doesnt understand this is why people desperately search for something that will help babies sleep through the night.

 

[paris]

I used to love her content it was so relaxing ans chill now it's all baby. But at this point I dont even know what I'd like to see from her anymore.

I’m so with you there! She doesn’t want to be a mummy ‘blogger’ yet what else has she got going on in her life? She won’t even let Alex help with the baby.. I’m glad they’re doing well, I’m confused how though seeing as neither of them are working.. Sorry I know that’s rude..

 

[AfroCircus]

Yeah i saw that about tandem feeding... why you'd be planning on getting pregnant again so soon after you've spent so long having no momey coming in i dont know, you would havd thought theyd want to save up a bit.

She needs to tandem nurse for that sweet internet validation.

I can see her going the way of One Day of Winter and totally failing to prepare Lana for a sibling and then dealing with the consequences.

 

[StrawberryBanana90]

I enjoyed the video, I hope her moving house will inspire her more creatively now and she'll post more regularly.

 

[Lemonz]

I would imagine Kieras parents are still working full time themselves tbh, they dont strike me as being well off enough to retire early etc.
I understand the frustration though, they've always planned to have multiple kids and his conditions are not new, there's long term planning for babies but not for financial security - she's only just starting little doe up really and lanas over 1, it sucks but wouldnt you return to work sooner? Lots of people who work outside the home have to return before a year because of money, self-employed people in my experience are back sooner. Has Alex ever mentioned retraining or going to college to try and get a career where he might have more flexibility?
Editing just to say: that came off as super unsympathetic and ofc its not as simple as 'he should just retrain' with disabilities, its just frustrating that they are still youngish people and he's changed jobs a lot so why the rush to have a baby when things have never been that stable. His workplaces should of course be following reasonable adjustments and he shouldnt have to worry that his disability would impact his job, but sadly due to his conditions it might be that his time off in the past has reached a point where even reasonable adjustments cant enable him to continue being employed if he's still missing a lot of work. I really hope that hasnt been whats happened as that would be horribly demoralising, even if it is legal.
