'Whatever he likes, he gets and if I can’t afford it I ring his dad and get the money'
A mum on benefits has spent thousands on her heavily pampered toddler, who bathes in milk and honey - and even sucks on a £1,000 solid gold dummy. Kasey Akram, 32, says she has fallen out with friends over how she spoils her one-year-old son Jareem.
"I’ll be wearing charity shop clothes while he’s wearing a £50 t-shirt and if I had the choice I would walk around naked so he could wear what he wants. Whatever he likes, he gets and if I can’t afford it I ring his dad and get the money.Kasey, who previously worked as a dancer and model, says she used to believe she had no interest in having a child. However, after getting pregnant with Jareem in 2020, she quickly fell in love with the tot - and knew she wanted to treat him well.
She has a jeweller she takes him to, and says as she is allergic to any metal other than pure gold, he probably is too – although she’s never checked. And she’s so keen to put Jareem ahead of herself that when her and her bed broke, instead of replacing it she spent £300 on a tractor bed for her son and slept with her mattress on the floor.
“He has breakfast in bed every morning. I always ask him if he gets a girlfriend when he’s older and she doesn’t like me if he’ll kick her out and he says yes – when he finally gets married his wife is going to hate me.
