it could lead to more severe problems down the line and could ultimately influence oskar when he’s older to do the same thing. Keira is still growing she needs food and nutrition in herI agree about the eating. Why would you not get it sorted. It clearly isn’t healthy, her poor thin legs looked like they were going to snap when she was in shorts. Why Doesn’t her mom encourage her to get help with it? It’s so unhealthy
Late to the party but what really concerns me about her amazon wish lists is that amazon do not garuntee that the sender won't end up with your address. My little one is a couple weeks younger than oskar and my friend is a content creator her audience were asking me if they could send gifts so I looked it up my address getting out was my main worry so I declined their offer and I'm not even the person they're there to consume. So thoughtless and reckless kira putting out these wish lists.

something that has always confused me...
does keira have the same dad as her younger siblings? i ask this because she has so many younger siblings who are close in age but with a huge age gap to kiera, and most of all because they look nothing like her. i swear they’ve all got like curly hair and isnt one of them ginger. (i know this can happen where one child has ginger hair but it’s just strange when combined with everything else). it’s weird how they all have a thick head of curly hair and keira’s is dead straight. and they just don’t really look alike.
and my other question from here, is if the younger kids have a different dad, where is he ?!? because he’s never ever there, and even if there aren’t together, he doesn’t seem to have any input or involvement in their lives. it’s just so weird because theres like 3 of them and they are all so young yet their dad seems nowhere to be seen.
and disclaimer my mum is a single parent but my dad is still present and contributes to my upbringing and my siblings! but whoever the dad is of these (three!) very young kids just seems to be nowhere? if he isn’t involved why is there so many young children, how does her mum care for them all by herself ???

I think she said in a Q&A video that they all have the same dad and that he isn't there often as he works a lot? I may have to go back and look for it

She answered a question in one of the vlogs saying they all have the same dad. He was there on Christmas Eve as you could hear him telling a joke in the last video

That looks like a cat on her windowsill. Is it safe to let your cat roam freely around your room that has a guinea pig cage in with no doors on? When we looked after some friend’s gerbils we kept them in the spare room with the door always shut because we didn’t want the cat in there. Our cat only ever brings in live animals (I had a very traumatic experience with a frog once) and I don’t think has every killed anything but cats are hunting animals and although they’re more domesticated they still attack. I know Kiera loves animals and clearly cares a lot but all those little kids running around, the tonnes of toys filling her room and their pets having little supervision in her room is a recipe for disaster with those guinea pigs in there.

I'd love to see a full tour of this house - so there's the mum, six kids including Keira and Oskar, now Zak's moved in, a dog, three guinea pigs, a cat......is there a partridge in a pear tree?
No wonder every inch looks so crammed full of stuff!

i would never have that happen if not for the only reason that guinea pigs can be quite fragile. Just a tap or auch in the wrong way could have serious implications.

What did he get her? Or do you mean she didn't show it? In fairness (not that I want to defend him as think he's a bit of an idiot), he is a 16 year old boy so I'd expect whatever he got her would be more in line with what 16 year olds gift each other whereas she's admitted she gets several thousand pounds every time she posts a video now. Hopefully he got her something thoughtful more than trying to matchAnyone see what Zak brought Keira? After the mountain of stuff she got him

I literally just came here to talk about her eating.
I have only just watched the video with "why I don't eat" in the title, I was hesitant to click on it because I didn't want to trigger myself as I am recovering.
As someone who suffers from an eating disorder, I want Keira to know that she appears to be experiencing disordered eating habits, even if she is not diagnosed with an eating disorder. Her relationship with food does not at all sound healthy. A lot of people really do not understand what eating disorders are, and when someone talks about eating disorders they instantly go to Anorexia or Bulimia. But Anorexia and Bulimia are not the only eating disorders there are. Binge eating disorder, AFRID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) , and OSFED (other specified feeding/ eating disorder) are all equally "vaild" eating disorders. If you are experiencing intermittent disordered eating habits and disordered thoughts Keira then you need to get that sorted as soon as possible before it turns in to more serious disordered eating habits.
My eating disorder started casually when I was doing my GCSEs, in exactly the same way as Keira. When I was going through periods of stress I would restrict my food intake and I would survive on minimal amounts of food and coffee. This happened intermittently, through out my A-levels and well into the first year of my degree. Back then much like Keira, if anyone asked me "Do you have an eating disorder?" I would have given EXACTLY THE SAME answer Keira did in that video. Which is why that video was so alarming to me. I thought it wasn't an issue. That intermittent fasting was normal, and that I would and could eat more if I wanted to. I would ask myself occasionally if I had a problem and I would always convince myself I didn't because "it wasn't bad enough".
Eventually, those disordered thoughts were constantly there and I was always thinking about food, and calculating and restricting my calorie intake. I lost a significant amount of weight, and even then I would not admit to having a problem. My mum started to get concerned and I was forced to go to the doctors and I was placed in an outpatient programme, and then eventually an inpatient programme. Which was the worst experience of my life. Now I am at a point in recovery where I can admit to my eating disorder, and I am working towards having a healthier relationship with food.
This reason I am putting this on here is because I know Keira will read this, and I want her to know that you do not have to be diagnosed with an eating disorder to have disordered eating thoughts and habits. You do not need to be experiencing extreme symptoms or be "bad enough" to seek help. Any type of disordered eating habit is a valid excuse to seek help.
I know now that if I would have spoken to someone about my disordered eating habits back then, and not convinced myself my relationship with food was normal, I may not have deteriorated physically and mentally in the way I did.
Honestly Keira talk to your mum, talk to Zak, talk to a friend, or contact Beat https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/ who will speak to you even if you are only concerned that you might be suffering from disordered eating habits.
Get help for Oskar's sake more than anyone, because eating disorders do not just affect those who have them, the whole family suffers too. I promise you that you do not want this to progress in to something more serious and for it to inhibit your life.
EDIT - I hadn't watched the whole part of the video about her talking about fainting. PLEASE get help. Those are the physical symptoms of malnourishment. I was constantly tired, I was fainting often, my hair was falling out and I was so weak that I wasn't able to carry around textbooks or even 2 pints of milk.

this is really petty so don’t come for me but something that really bugs me about keira is when she says ‘4am in the morning’, there’s no 4am in the evening, it’s unnecessary
i have been recovered (although with eating disorders you are never fully recovered in my opinion) for almost 4 years now and this video triggered me if i’m honest. not eating for days is not normal, i don’t want to watch the video again but i’m sure she said it’s not the first time it’s happened too. if you’re here kiera please speak to someone, it’s a slippery slope and before you realise you’ll be in hospital.

I agree, you never do fully recover. It hurts because it is it is always there and will always be a part of you. I know it is going to be difficult for her to even admit she has a problem. I am not as far into recovery as you, I am only a year and a few months in and I did find it triggering too. It is definitely not normal, and her explanation does remind me of how I used to try to rationalise my behaviour. I think she did say it was not the first time it has happened.
I agree she needs to speak to someone, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Trust me Kiera, you do not want to end up in an inpatient unit, you will be away from Oskar, Zak and your whole family.

does anyone else think keira looks really young for her age. like to the point it kind of makes me uncomfortable because in some videos she looks like a 13 year old with a huge baby bump. she just looks so young for her age, maybe it’s her hair it’s way too long it just screams childish, nobody i know has hair that long anymore. her looking so young is just so uncomfortable when you compare her alongside zak who dresses like a complete chav. it makes me feel like shes naive and he’s taken advantage of her, yes i know they are the same age but appearance wise she looks like a literal child.

Keira seems like a sweet girl but my main impression of her is just how young she is, even for her age in my opinion. I had my eldest at 16 & wasnt lucky enough to have any real support... she paints a very nice picture of being a teen mum. If I had vlogged my experience there would have been a lot of footage of me trailing a buggy on & off of buses & trying to get all of my food shop packed into/under said buggy & humphing it up stairs to my flat. Spending evenings while my daughter was asleep on my own as my mates were all still at school & had totally different lives to me - not their fault! I think these teen mum youtubers don't show the reality, its one thing being a parent its a whole different ball game being a parent while keeping a house/flat & trying to figure out childcare that isn't just your mum who's through in the living room. I also think that Keira's own mum must not watch her videos... there is no way I could watch a video of my daughter telling thousands of people on the Internet she doesn't eat for days & not 1. Make her take it down & 2. Seek help for her. I also couldn't watch videos of my pregnant daughter crying her eyes out because her boyfriend has cheated on her & let her leave them up online. I do wonder about the parenting Keira has/is receiving herself....

I agree and think Kiera fits the stereotypical image for a teen mum, a child stuck with adult responsibilities. On one hand she does provide for her son and does do the most for him, despite Oskar’s dad being their too. However, on the other hand, she still acts like a child who’s got too much money and freedom. Her YouTube and tiktok blew up massively over the last 12 months and so she went from having to sell her old things to afford having a baby, to probably making quite a large sum now. The way she behaves about her YouTube success does scream the fact she’s still a child because she’s buying loads of toy for Oskar that she probably gets out and never sees again, and buying her guinea pigs which have taken up a large chunk of her room isn’t really something a mum should be doing with the only space she has to raise her son.
That’s what annoyed me about her rant at the start of her Christmas Day video with her saying she was annoyed at people wondering when her video would come out. She said the videos would be out on Christmas Day and Boxing Day but they weren’t, they were over a week late and if YouTube’s your job you should probably stick to the schedules you set yourself. If Kiera had a deadline at school or in a ‘normal’ job and missed it by a week those waiting for it would be pissed and she might even be fired from a job for doing that. She’s making a fuss about how she’s got a baby and finds it hard to work with him there when she’s living with her mum, boyfriend and one of her brothers is around 15 who could watch Oskar if she needs them too. Zak isn’t working. Shouldn’t his job be to look after Oskar and help Kiera’s mum with the housework so Kiera can get on with her job? She has so much support whilst others like you have nothing but still manage to get on with everything. I think she could do with some guidance because, like you said, it doesn’t seem like her mum watches her videos or do anything to parent Kiera now. It’s like these children become parents and suddenly their own parents have no say in their life, despite the fact some of them might still be living with parents.
