I spoil my son with designer buys but shop for myself at Primark, it’s a mum thing
A SINGLE mum has revealed she hates treating herself – but will happily splash out on designer gear for her son.
Kerri Roma Anderson, from Bo’ness, West Lothian, boasts over 410,000 TikTok followers and regularly gives fans an insight to her everyday life.
The 32-year-old refuses to spend a fortune on herself and instead does expensive hauls for her 10-year-old boy Tyler.
In a recent clip, she revealed she picked up a £400 outfit for the youngster’s school disco before nipping into Primark for herself.
Kerri, a qualified nurse, said: “I’ve been away shopping. I went shopping today and I had the full intention of treating myself and buying myself something really expensive.
“But I didn’t, I bought Tyler expensive stuff instead.
“I went to Flannels. I’d seen a really nice Burberry jacket but they didn’t have my size so I didn’t get it. So instead I got Tyler a Stone Island T-shirt (£106).
“I got him some Stone Island cargos (£215). They’re nice, eh. Aged 12.
“I also went to Schuh and I got him a wee pair of trainers (£80).
“He’s got a school disco tonight, so I thought he could wear all this to his school disco.”
She added: “Then I went to Primark. Why would I spend a fortune on myself? I wouldn’t. So I went to Primark.
“I love Primark, Primark just have the nicest things.”
Kerri picked up two pairs of £7 joggers, a sweatshirt, £3.50 white crop and a bralet for £6.
She also bagged hair clasps, face sponges, a headband, socks, two seamless underwear sets, hair bobbles, a jumper and a Bob Marley oversized T-shirt from the men’s section for £10.
And the mum-of-one’s entire Primark haul was £30 cheaper than her son’s T-shirt alone.
She gushed: “It’s a great wee haul, eh? Love it, I’m buzzing.”
Kerri’s TikTok clip (@roma_0490) has racked up more than 98,000 views as her fellow mums relate to her spending habits.
One said: “Look what my kid got in Flannels and look at my Primark haul. Mum life, I know the feeling.”
A second wrote: “This is me. My boy’s designer, I’m Primark.”
A third agreed: “Love how all our wains are dressed in Flannels and us mums make do with Primark.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Such a mum thing. Spend a fortune on the bairns and as cheap as possible on ourselves.”
