TheNurseMum #12

[sparkleroot]

When Jaxon didn’t have overnight carers he mostly slept in Kathleen’s bed. They spent loads of nights together in that bed (or at least that is what she portrayed on Instagram).

Kathleen got rid of the bed she regularly shared with Jaxon only a couple of weeks after he died because she got #gifted a replacement, fancier, bed. Meanwhile she kept the specialist bed that could have helped another child for more than a year.

For me, that just about sums it all up.

(And, yes, they did chase her to get it back but she refused to answer their calls)

Imagine if it was the other way round and it was J that desperately needed the bed and she was told there’s one available but the person hadn’t given it back yet. She would be RANTING all over social media

How many days till we get "I tried so hard, I really wanted this, but there were just so many triggers" ?

Place your bets now.

I saw someone in the sen community share another gofundme for someone who has sadly lost their child. The narrative was that when a sen child dies the family lose their benefits, car and income and need financial support. I don't know why I find this new form of funding very uncomfortable. I've donated to gofundmes for equipment, treatment, research etc but raising money so a family can replace the income their deceased sen child used to bring in seems wrong and misplaced. You can't expect others to fund the benefits long term, isn't it better to move forward in a more sustainable way.

I’m not against this. If a child’s medical needs made it too hard for a parent to work/keep jobs long term then obviously it will be necessary for the parent to rely on benefits to cover rent and bills. When that child passes away it would be pretty callous to expect them to immediately jump into job searching. It doesn’t mean they expect go fund mes to cover them as a long term solution, it’s just breathing room and room to grieve. They are less likely to have savings to help see them through and help them replace their vehicle and will struggle to get finance to replace a car without a regular income. And even if the parents do work potentially they may not get much paid leave in this scenario. I think it’s literally days that you’re entitled to, and many places will offer more, but probably not enough. Childrens funerals are free but there will be extras to pay for.
At least they’re being up front on what they want to use the money for- Kaytee fundraised for J’s funeral but then kept going on holidays.

What person thinks “I know I’ve been crying let’s record it for an Instagram story transformation when I do my makeup”
I honestly have no idea why people record themselves crying it’s just attention seeking and manipulative

She’ll be a pilot by Friday!

Wow that tattoo what an awful choice of picture! Some pictures are sweet because they are that, a lot don’t translate into tattoos well. He was an unfortunate looking kid but had beautiful eyes and eyelashes, she could have chosen a picture that really captured those. Wow, just wow

Bit harsh saying he was unfortunate looking. He had some features of his diagnosis but I think it’s a step far to say he was unfortunate looking.
She could have picked a better photo for the tattoo though

She didn't just fight citycare during the time j was alive. She fought many private carers, the nursery who told her they didn't have staff qualified to look after him, wheelchair services, transport services, consultants unwilling to risk his life, nurses, physios, ots, his dad.... she spent 3 years fighting non stop to get j off her hands as long as possible.

I can't believe that nursing is triggering but selling tshirts with the image of your deceased child on is not?

 

[shadowofdoubt]

Things you can’t do:
Mention his name. (But she will reply to every question about him)

Things you can do, as a fucking stranger:
Buy merchandise with his face on it.
Visit his grave.
Attend his memorial birthday ball.

Thread suggestion: Unemployed scammer, sometimes bi, don’t talk about Jaxon and don’t ask why.

 

[BettyCrockerr]

Anyone who records themselves crying and then uploads that footage to social media is an unhinged, attention seeking bellend.

 

[JulieScoobyDoo]

Omg shes so bloody rude!

What’s she going to do if somebody recognises her when she’s cabin crew and mentions Jaxon and asks a question? Cross check them cabin doors and kick them out at 30,000 feet? Grow up Kathleen

Thread suggestion: the nurse mum aka distracting kaytee - come fly with me to my next go fund me!

The airline that employed Kath

So within a few hours she’s:
Got an interview
Gone shopping for an outfit
Done a try on at home
Done what looks like an Ad for someone’s CV writing service
Posted a belfie to her grid saying she got the job…

I smell bullshit.

 

[rainbowpolka]

Aaaaaaaand here we go again

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Has she ever referred to an actual personal item of Jaxon's that she's kept for memories? It's all about material shit. The bed, the car, the expensive holidays. Where are the favourite blankets, or the special toys? Did the poor kid even have any special items of his own, seeing as she never made any effort at Christmas and Birthdays?

She made all that fuss about wearing blue for the funeral, then suddenly it was "Jaxon's colours", despite the fact he was mostly shown dressed in beige. She's shown more attachment to a bed and a car than anything else. 2 items a kid that age couldn't give a shit about.

It just seems that she spent so much time palming him off and fighting to avoid being with him, that she never got to know her own Son's personality, or his likes and dislikes. Now she's left clinging to random stuff, just because it was there at the same time as him.

What do we want? Airplane noises. When do we want them? Neeeeeeooooow! .. sorry
