Jareem Akram, Britain's most pampered toddler, bathes in milk and honey and sucks a solid gold pacifier that costs £1,000 ($1,209). His mom, Kasey Akram, 32, said it's a pleasure to spoil her one-year-old son.
Kasey, a self-described full-time mom, who is on benefits, spent thousands on her son and admitted that she couldn't stop splurging on designer clothes and jewelry. Her son's most extravagant possessions include a £750 ($907) Versace chain, a £925 ($ 1,119) diamond-encrusted bracelet, and even a £1,000 ($1,209) solid gold dummy.
The mom admitted that she bathes the child with milk and honey a couple of times a week. She also gives the baby massages using baby oil while he watches Peppa Pig on his bedroom TV, which she moved from the living room. She takes him to get his haircut once a fortnight and insists that the barbershop manager should cut the toddler's hair. He also goes with the mom to the nail salon and gets a mini pedicure there.
The former model mom admitted to feeding Jareem an all-organic diet and refuses to let him drink tap water as she fears that the level of estrogen from the water might cause him to grow his breasts, Daily Mail reports.
According to the mom, her son has never seen a slice of white bread in his life. Her son eats what she usually eats, like olives and grilled peppers, and her friends tell her that her son seems to have a fine palate.
Kasey also makes sure that whatever her son likes, he gets it. If she could not afford it, she calls the dad for help.
Obsession focused on son
The former dancer and model mom said that as soon as she had her little boy, her obsession changed from how she looked to focusing on her son's extravagant appearance and lifestyle. She said she had a falling out with friends over how much she spends on her son, Birmingham Mail reports.
She buys second-hand clothes for herself so she can buy whatever Jareem wants and said she does not mind wearing charity shop clothes while her son wears a £50 ($60.48) t-shirt. She would walk around naked if she had to just so her son could wear what he wanted.
Kasey recalled that the last pair of shoes she brought herself was ninety pence Primark flip tops, but she bought Jareem a pair of Gucci trainers the same day. Her son loves wearing flashy trainers, and she would never let him walk around in "cheap and tacky" horrible trainers, per Wales Online.
She also takes her son to jewelers and makes sure that Jareem only uses gold. She is allergic to other metals and assumed he might also be allergic. One time, she relayed that her son chucked his solid gold dummy in the middle of the town and lost it. She admitted that she could not sleep for three days.
When her bed broke, she spent £300 on a tractor bed for her son while she did not replace her bed but slept with a mattress on the floor.
Kasey said splurging on her son is her choice. She added that she does not care if she walks in Primark's shoes as long as her "prince" has the best.
