The new video was edited beautifully but I felt weird watching it, like the last one I just ended up feeling sorry for Kiera and her family







I do wonder how on earth they’ve stayed afloat with Alex not working and Kiera packing in YouTube, surely Little Doe and Patreon aren't enough to pay the bills? Although it doesn’t look like Lana is in any sort of childcare so that’ll save them a big expense

I wondered if it was just me and my hormones making me feel really sad watching it

i haven't watched it so shouldnt really comment yet, but I felt very uncomfortable watching when Lana was a baby - Kiera acted like a single parent even when Alex seemed well and wanting to engage with the baby she'd be upstairs co sleeping and leaving Alex alone, she never seemed comfortable letting him have the baby so she could do simple stuff like washing her hair.

You're completely right
 
Kiera is just one of those youtubers who I can't dislike, she feels genuine and normal.

The video made me sad that she's been going through a lot but she must be in a better place to make such a visually beautiful video. I do wonder why they haven't really moved house yet? The landlord is raising rent and there's a dispute with the neighbours, it might do wonders for her to move elsewhere.

I guess probably the cost of moving. Because of rent going up everywhere it might be even more expensive to get a new tenancy, plus all the moving costs, deposit, admin fees etc. I do feel for her.
 
She does give mixed messages though. It's as though on the one hand she wants everyone to know they aren't well off or really want to move say, and seemingly can't, Alex never seems to have a stable income ,nor does she and she's always made a point of telling the public so in her videos.

At the same time she got a cat (not cheap to keep), has since had a baby (a huge expense even with govt help), new camera equipment and seemingly good computer set up (that I know I couldn't afford despite working full time) and drops comments about the fact she's doing stalls at fairs but doesn't need the money and isn't bothered if she makes any because her business already 'does very well' online. I'm sure there are also a lot of mum's who would like to defer work until their child is old enough that they can be left, but who don't have the choice of that, let alone the choice of working in their passion.

I do like Keira and used to enjoy watching her videos but the cynic in me wonders if a lot of what she purposefully shows or implies is to drum up sympathy and keep the Patreon support going because she knows she has an audience of loyal viewers who worry about her situation, because otherwise I'm not sure it entirely makes sense, finances wise.

Hmm that is true! I feel like their parents must help out financially (or maybe inheritance?) because otherwise their lifestyle seems unattaintable, espeically with bills etc going up.

With regards to patreon, I do wonder why people support content creators. No matter how much I like an influencer I wouldn't pay monthly for extra bits of content which, lets be honest, I bet most of it is half hearted. I've toyed with the idea of buying Kiera's merch/jewellry before as I love the style but I've never committed to buying.
 
I wonder if the kid ever socialises with others? Kiera has mentioned speech delays and obviously that can be caused by anything and is no one's fault. But it seems they spend most of their time frolicking in her mum's garden and there's no mention of play groups etc. Even if she's non verbal, socialising with other children is so important!

There seems to be a trend with influencers of kind of sheltering their kids and home-schooling is definitely a part of that.
