Maybe this is too real for a comment but I didn’t understand why I loved this channel / family so much until I realized that it’s the exact opposite of my family growing up, and is healing some ptsd I had from childhood. I appreciate it all so much. Seeing big families love each other and thrive and sometimes struggle is really wonderful. Thank you for posting and dealing with haters in order yo share your story
I feel the same way. I grew up in a large family too and it was nothing like this.
Thank you. This is what keeps me
going. Knowing that we make a difference for someone out there is everything.
@@DoughertyDozen you make a difference to a lot of people 💙💙
I so agree with you . I wish the Love and understanding was there when I was growing up. They didn't know about ADHD back than so we got hit alot. I Loved and told my children that I Love them all the time and what good kids they were and to this day people tell me how kind and Loving they are and yes I am proud of that, yes my husband their dad had alot to do with that. But I Love these videos from this sweet family because it is a healing feeling, I'm glad others feel that also 💖
I’ve asked myself so many times why I follow this family and I think you nailed it for me. My childhood looked nothing like this, so much dysfunction. Your videos inspire me to be present and supporting in the lives of my children and grandchildren and other family members.
Keep doing what you’re doing Josh and Alisha. You’re creating something very special
Wow, Nevaeh use to be so shy but, she's really is coming out of her shell! She is so awesome!
I Love see her more involved 💕
Nevaeh kicked butt on that!!!!!!
One of my favorite things is watching that girl shine ❤️🖤💃🏾
Nevaeh is a beautiful young lady.
Nevaeh is such a pretty girl!
What I most admire about woman, wife, mother is how much effort she puts into each role. She puts tremendous effort to love each child individually but she also puts effort into her grooming for herself , her husband and children. She’s just very positive and fun
She has a good system down & it really works. I remember right before their New York trip I was skeptical if they really needed the matching outfits & then one day they had to wear regular clothes while they were shopping 🛍 and omg was it hard to keep track of everyone. I remember think NOPE I couldn't deal with that. So kudos to her for working out systems that work.
It's so lovely to see them spend quality time, and cheer each other on. I loved hearing the kids cheering Mom(Alicia).
🥰🥰🥰
When Alicia got up from the 🏄♀️, bree just said “She’s a queen”. How sweet of her. 🧡 “Duogherty never quits”
I love how much Naveah and Dayshawn are thriving in your family’s care. The evolution is amazing. I assume their prior home situation had to be very difficult for them if the courts had to step in and remove them. So to see them so happy and thriving is a huge credit to Alicia and Josh. I love watching you guys!
@@sandawise79 And???? Probably not a bad thing since they were neglected most if their life! They deserve all of it and so much more! They did not ask to be born to shitty parents now they have the world!
I don't care what other peeps are saying about this family. For me no family is perfect but embracing the imperfections of each member is what I call a perfect family. Keep it up Alicia and Josh and kids! ❤️
I agree 💯.
Embracing or just giving in to imperfections. They get whatever they want. their own water, snacks, birthdays,cereals and happy times. God bless this couple, but, Love is also showing discipline.
@@deejo1823 you’re taking issue with children getting their own water or water bottles? Really?
I totally 👍 agree.
@@ericar.6370 Yes,
I felt the love through the video. The encouragement during the surfing lessons was absolutely amazing.
🥰🥰🥰
I love how much more Josh is being on camera! You and him are certainly super parents!
Ok Bree is an old soul. When she said she was done and mom did too, she said you did great! Always sweet!!!
I seriously don’t understand the haters who take the time to upload weekly videos about this family and make up “issues” about every little thing.
They seem to be just using them to earn cos it gets views but make it seem like they are doing it out of concern.
Love that it doesn’t affect Mom and they are just living their best lives. 🤗
dash’s response to what do you wanna do with your life ? “while today im gonna take a nap” goals dude fr
What a ridiculous thing to ask a child
That surf instructor is perfect for you with his inspirational speech! Love you all! So blessed you all are having a blast on vacation! Well deserved family! 😘 🤗
He was awesome!! and yes I asked his permission to put him on YT lol
@@DoughertyDozen forgot to add how absolutely beautiful you looked for your night out! You're always beautiful, just elevated a bit that night!! XOXO
@@staciabasom9808 thank you!!
@@DoughertyDozen he knew how to make the kids comfortable. I'm sure he was appreciative your large family came in for lessons too.
Yes!!! Loved him!
The joy in their surfing successes & attempts was awesome! The smiles…I was grinning the whole time. Bree telling her Mom, “you did great” was precious! I also enjoyed your walk with Dash! So sweet!🧡
What a fun outing! You all looked like y’all were having such a great time surfing and “hanging ten,” lol. The kids are going to remember this day and the entire vacation for years to come. You looked so pretty, Alicia. Josh and the children did great picking out your outfit and Nevaeh has wonderful taste in jewelry. Thanks for sharing another video with us. I truly enjoyed watching.
Nevaeh now wants to make a career out of being a Personal Shopper bc she had so much fun going to buy my shoes and jewelry that day!
Neveah is so cute! She was awesome on the surfboard! All of you did an awesome job! It really does wear you out esp. when you are first learning. I don't know if you guys have skied or snowboard but I think you guys would all enjoy that. That's some thing the little kids can do also. Cross country skiing is what I enjoyed doing though. The down hill thing kind of kicked my butt too many times. It's so nice that you have a daughter who is older that can pick out such cute things for mom to wear. She's got great taste in jewelry. You and Josh are so adorable getting ready and going on your dates. I am happy you guys have been able to take time with yourselves and with your parents. It's awesome that some of your kids are old enough to watch the younger ones. Everyone is so close and I really love that about your family. In a few more years you and Josh won't know what to do with yourselves if kids start leaving to go to college instead of going near by so they can live at home. Of course we want our children to be mature enough to make their own decisions as far as where they want to go but as mom's we secretly want to keep them home with us forever. You are going to be so happy you have recorded all these special moments. Back when I grew up I'm only 53. They didn't take all the videos and I have some pics but not a whole lot. I'm not a fan of cell phones. But, I do like that you are able to take pics and record on them and not miss the special moments.
Yes! Thank you!!🧡🧡🧡
You are closing in on a million subscribers. You go girl!!
Thanks!
Yes Alicia ignore the haters and keep on going you are amazing 💕
alisha, i really hope you read this and consider what i am saying. so, i have been watching your family for months now. I absolutely love you guys and the way you raise your family. recently, i saw some of the comments about some bad things going down on your vacation and decided to look into it. i found the videos of people absolutely tearing your family apart.
a good majority of what they were saying was over exaggerated and ignorant. but they also make some good points. personally, i feel like most of the issues they brought up were not due to any fault of your own, just that you guys blew up so quickly online. things like not posting in real time and being more cautious with the information you share are not a huge deal when you're a small influencer. but at your current popularity, they become much more important.
i am sure these are all things being discussed behind the curtains and that you would never intentionally do anything you thought was unsafe for your kids. i feel like it would be beyond beneficial for you to just make a video going over the concerns so many people have and then move on.
i cannot begin to imagine how it feels to have your entire life criticized and torn apart when you are just trying to make fun videos. but as a responsible and kind person, it is definitely time to talk about it. i totally understand if you delete this comment, i went back and forth on posting it because i do not want to bring more negative attention to you guys. but please, please, from a huge fan of yours, consider what i am saying.
love you guys, best of luck.
Before they started posting vlogs here inTH-cam, they already have 3M followers on tiktok so I don't think they blew up so quickly tho the momentum of getting popular is there
yeah totally, i was more so talking about them blowing up quickly in general. they’ve only done social media like this for a couple of years. i can imagine that having millions of eyes on you within just a few months is beyond difficult to navigate.
Woah... I needed to hear Dash's life advice like no other! Its one thing to tell yourself those things but to hear his sweet voice be so positive and optimistic was way more encouraging 😁🥰.
Just ‘Nap’ ‘Work Out’ ‘Eat’ and you’ll be alright 🤣🤣
@@DoughertyDozen Aww I hope he doesn't feel like he has to be bigger and stronger to be important. I was always much smaller than everyone else too. Dash is perfect the way he is! Your kids are all amazing! 🧡
@@DoughertyDozen good advice 👌
@@DoughertyDozen thank you for your response. Means the world, all the time and love you put into your family and then this channel is mind blowing and then you respond to me and so many others so often. It's just so humbling and admirable to see the effort you put forth in all you do. Thank you again, for all you do!
I don’t really have many Mom-friends where I live, but if I lived over there “I’d choose you” Alicia! Pardon the Pokémon reference. 😁 You and Josh seem so real and down to earth. Your kiddos are just delightful. 🥰
Anyone else love this family because it heal their broken family:) Its so nice to see a happy family without aggression and hate. your kids are so lucky x
Seeing Nevah do the outro brought tears to my eyes. She seems so happy!
Your channel is my go to for anxiety. I suffer from severe childhood ptsd and anxiety attacks. Since covid my anxiety got worse and I ended up going to the ER several times thinking I was dying/having a heart attack. Your content calms/redirects me. I know that may seem silly because of the chaos with all the kids but there is something about your page that calms me.
Remember that you are strong, you are beautiful... ect.❤
It doesn’t seem silly because I’m in the exact same boat. I have also went to the ER for the same reasons. Alicia’s content calms me as well 🥰 you’re doing amazing. You are kind, beautiful, loved and I’m so proud of you ♥️♥️
And strong! ♥️
Dougherty family thank you for sharing your Ocean city vacation with all your followers ,here on you tube . Loved seeing you guys doing so much whilst on holiday . The surfing looked great fun and Alicia you worked through your worry and did amazing everyone did . Safe travels home
I love how happy the kids always are. I also love how the always are fearless trying new things. You and Josh, and your parents are so amazing and are giving these kids such a loving family life that seems to have no bounds.
Finding your channel was one of the best things that happened to me all year. 😊it's rare to find a genuine family channel, you guys are the best!
I hope you heard me cheering you on while you were surfing as I was watching from my bedroom lol!! You looked absolutely gorgeous going out to dinner and this looks like such a fun time for all! Big hugs from our family to yours ~Cindy
You are so kind to your kids... wow, you treat them so well ... 👏 so many amazing memories, from this part of their childhood..
Totally agree!💖💙
🧡🧡🧡
He's a surfing legend in ocnj! Learned to surf from the 7th street crew (inc. him and Kelly) almost 20 years ago!! So glad you had this life changing experience!!! Btw Alicia, stunning look for date night!
No Way!! How cool!
I just love to see kids experience anything and everything !!!!
🧡🧡🧡
I would like to thank you so much for your videos. You have made me be a better mother because I see the patience you have for 12 children and I only have 2 and I was struggling in the patience department. I have learned so much from seeing how you are with 12 and I want to truly thank you for that because believe it or not you make an impact on people.
I loved this video!! This had to be one of my all time favorites. I loved watching y'all surf, and hearing everyone cheer for one another that was so heartwarming 🤗. I've attempted to surf and stood up for .2 seconds then wiped out, haha. It just warms my heart seeing y'all give these kids an amazing life. I'm adopted, and never got to experience anything to this extent, but I'm sooo happy for these kiddos. Alicia you looked flawless for date night loved the dress and your makeup is always on point. I look like I belong in a horror movie 🥴..love your family 💕
Alicia and Josh nurture ALL the kids and they are growing up to appreciate things that even kids in wealthier families don’t get. And that is love and self worth! Bravo Alicia and Josh ❤️💙
Love when the kids were saying " Go mom go! Go mom go!"
It's always great seeing you guys having a great time together. I didn't grow up in such a uniquely loving family but I promise to give this kind of love, affection and affirmations to my kids in the future.
I saw your origin story of how you became the dougherty dozen, and mom to mom, ty for loving the kids that youve adopted. I see a lot of displaced children in the world, and it is very noble to do what you are doing. So more blessings to you and your family.
I love that they are comfy in calling you mom it’s so sweet❤
I love to see Daeshawn and Neveha (sp) coming out of their wariness and shyness and enjoying the big family life.
It's "heaven" spelled backwards...so "Naveah" 🥰 and "Dayshawn." I agree with you, I love seeing their transformation!
I was going to put that in my comment they have change so much .
I love the sound of the ocean. This reminds me of my childhood in New Jersey
I think all the haters wish they could afford to do stuff like this with their kids. I enjoy watching the smile's on the kid's faces. You know they are having fun.
And ya know they would have something to say if they had money and DIDN'T spend it on their kids!! They literally can't win smh 😒😂
I love the energy of y’all cheering each other on and encouraging them
I found this channel a few weeks ago and i am totally addicted. I am catching up on the older videos and i am amazed at how much love and respect this family have for each other. Thanks for sharing your family with us. I almost feel like part of the family 😀👍
Thank you for following 🧡🧡🧡
Did you see the video where she shares all of Patrick's diagnoses? Or the one where she turns the physical abuse Jordan and Jason received from their bio parents into a Care Bear advertisement? They're not all that they seem.
I love the relationship you have with all of the children, especially Nevaeh. 🥰
I think Naveah is a natural athlete so it would be great if she could pick a sport to be involved with regularly!
She kept going back in while the rest of us were completely exhausted 🤣🤣 Yes we just signed her up for volleyball!!
@@DoughertyDozen Of course, long nails will not work with volley ball but I know she will be great at it! She is a natural!
Awwww I love that surfing instructor!!!!!!!!
Also, Neveah should do the outro for all videos
Awesome vlogs. I feel like I took a vacay too! Looks so fun. House is huge and plenty of room for all! Amazing!!
🥰🥰🥰
One of the reason you are loved by so many is for the way you all encourage and support each other. Listening to you all during the surfing, praising each other is what family is about. (Btw- you did good, by overcoming your anxiety)
People are always going to try and bring you down, but always remember the only ones who matter are the ones that you are parenting.
Amen . This may sound odd but I believe God puts good people in our lives ,that we come together with or like this on UTube, but either way some come to help us and you have helped many ,Josh and kiddos also
Thank you Native Hawaiians and Polynesians for teaching the world to surf🏄🏾♀️🏄🏽♀️🏄🏽♂️
“Everyones in orange today” yup that mama bear aint loosing her babies in that ocean!
I'm so very proud of you guys I watched a lot of families on this channel but yours are so very honest and filled with love and care for one another me and my husband God rest his beautiful soul and heart we had 8 children together and my in law's always had a negativity against us saying mean things to me and my husband we had two sick kids as well my sweet husband always told the kids that you have God and each other love one another you are enough there friends always came over we always had a house full of kids love each other care about the feeling you all have I love this channel God bless you all and enjoy your vacation with all of your beautiful children
I really admire you. You are the epitome of a loving family. You are an amazing human being. I still don’t know how you do it. I get tired just watching you look after all those kids but you make it look seamless. And I Can feel the love through the screen. You make me want to be a better person 🤗♥️
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
The reason no one could stay for long on the board is the waves were small and two close together. For ideal surfing conditions for a beginner you need small waves that are long before another one comes in. All of you did great. My brother taught me how to surf. I drank a lot of water though being 10 years old.
The thing i love is that you and josh try new things with your kids. That is so amazing. Everyone dod fantastic and look like they had a ball. I want to thank you for giving me the courage to advocate for myself. Your an amazing family x
I absolutely loved this vlog! Deshawn is crazy athletic! I tried surfing it is hard! You all did great! I loved the positivity of the people giving the lessons and the cheers! My favorite vlog hands down!
i love the surfing instructor!!! i bet he's changed a lot of lives!!
I live in DETROIT area. The temperature has dropped big time. I hope the weather stays fantastic. For the rest of your summer.
“Ooh! Sonic’s a good one!” 😆 He’s so cute 🥰 Ps: I like the dinner prep lives, too. I could go for one of those.
Ok!! I used to do them all the time and then the kids started TaeKwonDo and it conflicted with dinner time lives. We’ve decided to drop TaeKwonDo (as wonderful as it is!!) bc I really want to be able to attend more of the boys’ football games this year (and now Nevaeh’s volleyball games). TaeKwonDo really took up a lot of our evenings. It’s Give And Take in a large family.
Me too!!
Nevada is so graceful and quietly effective. She is your wing woman!
The kids cheering “go Mom go!” …. sweetest thing ever!
🧡🧡🧡
Neaveah did a great job sounds like you had a blast on vacation
I agree with Dash.... life goals: take a nap. I can't think of one thing that a nap can't fix.
I love how the kids aren’t giving up they keep trying
I loved taking surf lessons, also so glad to see a grwm I been waiting for another one since the last.
Dash had some great advice for healthy eating! I am on a weight loss journey and keep those things in mind.
Love this fam!! P.S. Alicia u look awesome with no eyeliner underneath your eyes. I think u should stop lining your waterline for a few videos and see how that works out! You legit look more awake and healthy!!! This is not a hate comment, this is just my suggestion!!!!! As always, much love ❤️
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
Alicia was sooo freakin adorable when she was doing surf class omghhh i love her!!!!❤and in those dresses omg so beautiful!!!!!!
@Sarah I love them 😭😭
It was so fun!
absolutely loved this video, y'all had so much fun and the best part is the end just seeing all the kids sitting around the table laughing and having a good time!!! You can see just how real the moment is. You're amazing.
Glad to see Alicia overcome her anxiety and try surfboard. More power to you ❤️
Dash has life figured out 🤣
Whenever you wear your hair back all I see is Harlee’s little face😂😂😂🥰.
You guys are such an amazing, sweet family with lots of love! 🧡🧡🧡
That was so sweet 😘
@@evonbradley9192 ty 🧡
🥰🥰🥰
Wow! I'm afraid of deep water, and definitely afraid of ocean water. I can't swim. You guys did great! I never would have done that! I loved this video! Niveah, you did a great job!
Fantastic! You are enriching your children's lives to the fullest! I love the parasailing video too!
Thanks! Once I find the go pro drive (buried in stuff to unpack lol) I’ll load the parasailing Vlog! Hopefully tomorrow.
Nevaeh! Rockin' the affirmations with conviction!!!
Dash is me with the naps. That boy has figured out life🤣
Right 😅 Go Dash 🙃🙂
The more I watch you guys, I just adore you even more. It's so joyful to watch the each of the kids and their personalities come out. You are a blessed family...thank you for sharing a small part of your life with us. 🧡
Any one else notice that Dash is a little Josh? Lol too cute. I had never noticed until she was interviewing him on the way home from surfing 🏄🏽
I loved this so much! Everyone is so encouraging to each other! Pure love for one another!
Omg Alicia Harley is starting to look just like you!! Two beautiful ladies ❤
Couldn’t agree more🥹
Alicia, you are so beautiful. You both should be so proud of yourselves for all that you do for these children.
Ur vids light up my day I always check your channel and I get so exited when it’s a long vid and I love ur tiktok too
I love ur shopping and vlog the most
Hi.
Good to see you 😌
U was looking good after make-up and hair done
Good job
What a Beauty you are Alicia you have never looked more beautiful, Its endless how many times I have teared up because I feel the love and its so real and comforting for these children. Josh your Spaghetti Dinner looked amazing. ❤❤💙💙❤❤💙💙❤❤💙💙
When i see the duration is more than 30 minutes i'll be like 🤩🤩🤩
Loved,just loved the way all the kids pic k Ed up the surfing and had such a good time,even you and Josh...you all did awesome...all the love for each other shines through,you looked great Alicia...loved your dress...the food looked delicious too...so happy you all had a great time.
Dash is such a smart kid. I love his advice!
🧡🧡🧡
Can’t stop smiling at the kids surfing. I felt like I was there. Love your videos!💗
I love your family channel so much. Watching your videos is one of the best part of my day. I don’t know why but it just soothes my soul. You seems like such a good loving mom! ❤️ sending some love from Canada!
So fun to see the kids try something new!
😁😁😁
Ok, this channel is definitely my favorite!
With this many kids, you're bound to have a multiplicity of talents in the bunch.../ athletic, artistic and intellectual. It will be interesting to see them grow! (from a Mom and retired teacher. )
Thank you. We’re still trying to find Dash’s talent. He wants to try Irish Dancing this year so that will be fun!
@@DoughertyDozen 💙💙💙
You & the kids will remember this always. Kids are loving riding the waves.Then,they will be starving ..trust me. Beaches& food go together.Enjoy this trip..😥♥️😍🌞🧞♀️💞☮
Thanks for sharing ♥️.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗
Love the advice the instructor gave the kids 🦋🌺💚🌹
You crack me up. Your so down to earth you carry your makeup in a zip lock. 😂 With all the money you spend, a zip lock??? 🤣🤣🤣
Swimming is exhausting fun and so is surfing that looked like such fun, glad you are taking time to have alone time with your spouse, kids look exhausted but happy!
What a wonderful video. I’m so grateful you invite us into your life. Just like a feel good movie I so enjoy everything about your family. Thank you God bless🥰❤️👍
Attention haters…. Most of these children were not lucky enough to be born into a wonderful home life, let’s not forget that. So if she buys them the world who gives!!! They deserve it!!!!
And if she didn’t spend it all on them they’d be crucifying her for making money off of them and being greedy and abusive. It’s so disgusting how much nastiness there is, but I guess it just makes most of us appreciate the videos more. I just hope it doesn’t cause her too much stress of anything.

The surfer speech got me ❤😊
