Don’t come over to this thread often but don’t get people being sick to their stomach about collab, the orthodontist is a private business, he’s free to do collabs if that’s how he wants to market his business. Being outraged to see these influencers getting public money I can understand, like the HSE covid campaign with them but this isn’t a HSE clinic here she’s attending. I doubt this fella has a 10 year waiting list and is seeing the Gorry child in priority.
That’s not the issue here. It’s the fact that Rachel Gorry would absolutely have the means to pay for her eldest child’s braces, but instead chooses to take a freebie & plaster it all over her social media amongst her other #ads #collabs #gifted posts with photos of her child on the dentist’s chair.
It has rightly riled other parents who are working hard, raising their families and struggling to pay for braces for their children amongst other things like mortgages/bills etc. She has no boundaries, no shame, the hand is out for all she can get despite having the means to pay for what she needs for her children. And if by chance she doesn’t have the means? (Doubtful) Then she should get a job like the rest of us and pay for things the old-fashioned, hard-working way. It’s disgusting and infuriating.
I don’t envy her at all in case you think it’s jealousy talking. I would hate a life in the public eye and hate that life for my kids. My eldest girl got her braces off a few months ago. I worked my arse off for every single payment, and now, when she smiles at me, I feel so content & proud. I did that. It was worth the overtime to see that smile.
