Meet Britain's most pampered toddler, who bathes in milk and honey and even sucks on a Ā£1,000 ($1,192) solid gold pacifier.
Kasey Akram, 32, says she to loves to spoil her one-year-old son Jareem.
The self-described full-time mom - who is on benefits - has splashed out thousands on her child and says she can't stop.
Some of Jareemās most extravagant possessions include a Ā£750 ($894) Versace chain, a Ā£925 ($1,103) diamond encrusted bracelet and a Ā£1,000 ($1,192) solid gold pacifier.
Kasey, from Sheffield said: āAs soon as I had my little boy, my obsession changed from how I looked to focusing on my son.
"He's the loveliest little boy in the world and Iāve fallen out with friends over how much Iāve spent on him.
āI buy my clothes off of Vinted so I can buy him what he wants.
"Iāll be wearing charity shop clothes while heās wearing a Ā£50 ($59) 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 canāt afford it I ring his dad and get the money.
āIām not working at the moment, I do all this on benefits and the help of my ex-partner."
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.
He now has an elaborate routine which sees Kasey wake up at 6 A.M. every day to make Jareem whatever hot breakfast he fancies, which she then brings to him to eat in bed.
She then gives him a bath, using milk and honey a couple of times a week, followed by baby oil and a baby massage while he watches Peppa Pig on the TV in his bedroom ā which she moved in there from the living room.
His pampering doesnāt end there as she also takes him to get his hair cut once a fortnight and insists itās cut by the manager of the barbershop.
And he also goes with her to the nail salon where he gets a mini pedicure from the staff there.
She has a jewelers she takes him to, and says as she is allergic to any metal other than pure gold, he probably is too, although sheās never checked.
And sheās so keen to put Jareem ahead of herself that when her bed broke, instead of replacing it she spent Ā£300 ($357) on a tractor bed for her son and slept with her mattress on the floor.
As well as feeding him an all-organic diet, she refuses to let him drink tap water as she is concerned that the level of estrogen would cause him to grow breasts.
Kasey said: āHe still wakes up five times a night and apparently Iām too soft with him but if you had a child in the middle of the pandemic you would be the same.
āHeās never drunk tap water in his life and I sacked my nanny because she gave him tap water.
āHeās never seen a slice of white bread in his life and what I eat he eats ā he likes olives, he likes grilled peppers, everyone says he has such a refined pallet.
āHe has breakfast in bed every morning.
āI always ask him if he gets a girlfriend when heās older and she doesnāt like me if heāll kick her out and he says yes ā when he finally gets married his wife is going to hate me.
āHis dad always says that when he turns 18 heāll get a girlfriend and move out but I say no, weāll have bunk beds when heās too old to share a bed with me.
āWhat Jareem wants Jareem gets ā the last pair of shoes I bought myself were ninety pence Primark flip-flops and on the same day I bought him Gucci trainers.
āHe likes flashing trainers but Iād never let him walk around in cheap tacky horrible trainers ā if I wear Vans he wears Vans.
āI spent Ā£1,000 on a solid gold dummy and he chucked it in the middle of town and lost it, I cried for three days.
āIāve had his palm read four times in the last year which cost me Ā£50 a time because he couldnāt speak and I wanted to know what he was into and what his favorite color was.
āIf I want to spend the money on my son thatās my choice, I donāt care if I walk around in Primark shoes as long as my prince has the best.ā
