Former Big Brother Australia contestant Skye Wheatley has found herself at the centre of a heated debate after unveiling her young son's extravagant bedroom makeover on Instagram. The reality TV star, known for her bold personality, shared snapshots of the plush redesign—complete with designer furniture and playful decor—but not all followers were impressed.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
While some praised Wheatley for creating a "dream room" for her child, others accused her of promoting excessive consumerism. "This is just too much for a toddler," one critic commented, while another wrote, "Kids don’t need luxury brands to be happy."
Skye’s Defence
Wheatley, no stranger to online scrutiny, quickly clapped back at the negativity. "I work hard to give my son the best—why shouldn’t I?" she fired back in her Stories. The influencer later added, "Parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I’ll never apologise for providing for my family."
The Bigger Debate
The incident has reignited discussions about influencer culture and the pressures of "perfect parenting" on social media. Child development experts weighed in, suggesting that while a stimulating environment benefits children, moderation is key. "Kids thrive on love and attention more than material things," noted one psychologist.
As the debate rages on, one thing’s clear: Wheatley’s unapologetic approach to motherhood continues to polarise audiences.
