I’ve been a lurker on these threads but I’ve finally snapped…
I cannot understand why, within a short period since J passing is her first instinct to set up a business?
Most would be either privately grieving or even, set up charity fundraising events such as a ball, marathon etc. Why is her first point of call to set up a business with only 10% going to charity? If it’s not about the money, why not a bigger portion of the money?
Why are the products on sale useful to all SEN parents/children such as feeding tools, bibs, sensory play toys & books etc. As beautiful as J was, it is massively inappropriate for random strangers to be walking around with print of a little boy who frankly, should be allowed to rest in peace. He will never be forgotten by his family nor by the people who invested emotionally or financially in his little life but, for his images to be on merchandise is tasteless.
Why not use the rest of the GFM and donate it to the charities that need it rather than go travelling - I’d understand if she had missed out of that side of life whilst caring for J but let’s face it, she didn’t miss out. The reality is, Kaytee probably led a more active lifestyle than most parents ever get to.
I don’t know about anyone else but I absolutely despite anyone who sees it as normal to be crying then recorded it for social media. If she’s grieving for her boy, surely she should be focusing on that, not filming and uploading it for the gram? To me, it’s just a way of ensuring that her followers stay invested in her. It’s emotional blackmail.
As for his grave. I find it tacky. His own bedroom wasn’t as colourful and full of balloons and toys etc. To me, a graveyard is a peaceful place for those to rest, for their loved ones to mourn and seek solice and comfort. Why could she not set up a garden or an allotment for him so she decorate that how she likes and have a chippy tea or a party? I find it disrespectful to anyone else laid to rest in there and for their loved ones who will be drowning in their own grief but have to watch her party with her pals. There is a time and place for everything but that’s not it. She could still make his space beautiful but in my opinion that’s too much and it’s all for show, if she wasn’t on the gram and so known, why would his grave look like.
I feel, their is a space for grief management on the gram, it’s needed. However, the moment you monetise it, is the moment I’m done and out of there. The NurseMum, Ash & Saf and even FTEN (Elle) all made money out of the loss of a child but all seem to think they are untouchable to critics because they are grieving parents. Sorry but there are millions of parents grieving that use their platforms for the good and not to make money as an influencer. Are you selling products here or your soul? If you’re selling both? Your intentions were never genuine.
