A MUM who kits her two daughters out in designer gear reckons splashing cash sets them up for success.
Jaelyn Cox, 30, loves seeing her little girls Valentina, four and Valencia, 18 months, decked out head to toe in pricey fashion brands and doesn’t see a problem.
The dancer, from Glasgow, prides herself on providing for family and thinks any critics are just jealous of her.
She said: “I think buying your kids designer stuff does make them want better in life.
“Taking your kids to nice restaurants, on good holidays and buying them expensive clothes is setting them up to be more successful and ambitious.
“It’s showing them that you need to work hard to have nice stuff and that people treat you better when you’re in designer clothes.”
Jaelyn has also handed her four-year-old a bank card to go shopping.
She wants to teach her girls financial independence and reckons it’s important that they understand the value of money.
Though it’s unusual, she’s adamant that giving little Valentina more responsibility has paid off in a big way.
She said: “My daughter is four and has her own savings account.
“I also a give her one of my bank cards to use and I set up Apple Pay on her phone.
“When we’re out shopping she pays for her stuff with her phone using Apple Pay.
“She’s really clever and enjoys when I give her money and take her shopping.”
The mum also caused a stir by claiming women should go on holiday and leave their kids at home.
She loves jetting off for sunshine breaks and thinks it’s important to treat herself well.
Jaelyn said: “Going on holiday with your kids is so stressful.
“You actually need time to yourself as well and a wee two or three day holiday does mums the world of good.
“I can’t get a babysitter for one week so I just go three day holidays and my mum is happy to watch them.
“I feel like a lot of people don’t separate mum life to their personal life.
“Just because you’re a mum doesn’t mean you’ve got to be boring and sit in the house and clean.”
