So nice to see that others see what I see! Never understood why initially a thread was not allowed.
I was recommend to follow Kaytee back in the early days, as I was a fellow nurse, with a child around the same age..this was back when Kaytee had possibly 15,000 followers and was ‘looking’ for a job, saying how difficult it was to find anything flexible, and asking for advice. I too was struggling to flexible working so I messaged her. Can’t remember to be honest if I got a reply.
She then started to complain about the carers, and as a ‘nurse’ it struck how 1) she should have understood the complexities surround chc funding (it’s a bloody minefield), and 2) she should have realised that J’s needs were perhaps more ‘social care’ needs. I messaged a really nice message explaining that it’s almost impossible to acquire chc funding, but perhaps she could contact the local social care team, there would no doubt be appropriate funding streams available if J did require carers. She totally ignored the message but then start passively aggressively putting messages about how she couldn’t get funding from anywhere, health didn’t want to support her, social care didn’t want to support her. At the point I unfollowed, as she clearlywas just using J for engagement, and thought no more.
Then Rosie Ramsey and Susie Verril started the fundraiser for her and bought her back to my attention. I started to view her stories occasionally and mostly forgot about her. Until the whole Susie Verril thing blew up, the Twitter messages she had postedthat were racist, laughing at ‘disabled’ children..and the fact Kaytee never called her outin this, really didn’t sit right. The things Susie said, even in jest, were pretty hideous, and no parent of a child with a black father, who has complex physical and medical needs, could sit back and not say something, just because of money. It’s not natural, and it’s not what you do as a caring parent.
Obviously from there on in she has just steadily become worse and worse, ans I can’t even bare to ‘hate’ watch her any more, and listen to the bullshit she spouts about the nhs.
