    My absolute favourite thing about James is how emotionally mature he is. I know there has been lots of talk about his feelings lately, but if you've been watching this family for a long time you know that James seems to be a kid who understands the importance of and enjoys putting his family members before him when they need it. He's not a pushover by any means! Just look how firm he is with the little ones. But he knows that sometimes some family members need a little more love and he's happy for them to get that. The way that he instantly knows what brands and flavours his siblings enjoy in terms of snacks just shows how much like Alicia he is. He's a wonderful big brother and will be an even more wonderful father someday!

Hearing James being so naturally polite and eager to help is a massive credit to him and your family.

      So far James is my favorite (although one shouldn't have favorites, lol). He's so consistently helpful, kind, and polite. Like at 12:12 where James remembers that his mother likes a specific kind of fruit snack. I also appreciate that Alicia gets the kind of fruit snack that the kids like, not the kind that she likes. It's fine to get treats for yourself as a parent, but pushing your own tastes onto your kids too much just breeds resentment.

      Agree. I'm completely fascinated that, even though she said there is 16 people on this vacation, that they would need some of these things for just one week. Like the huge thing of laundry detergent or the gallon of olive oil. I have a family of only 6 and a gallon of olive oil would last 6-8 months, and I cook with it A LOT! LOL

    Can’t help but think about how much sugar must be consumed, the Coca Cola can has 9 teaspoons of sugar alone. Think it should have been a health orientated vacation, so that the children can have a spa type day, water, fruit and salads, steak and fish, so their stomachs can have a rest from having constant supply of sugary snacks everyday. Those huge ice creams, even without the added sprinkles, is too much, thankfully they melted away before all of it was consumed. Sugary, fizzy drinks could be a precursor to debilitating arthritis in later years. I applaud how you manage everything, but your children should definitely be more hands on than they do. Show them how to prepare their favourite meal and let them have an opportunity for them to cook it. All the best to you all xxx

    I don’t understand what’s going on here. This volume of groceries (roughly calculated) is over 500000 calories. All 16 people together would require around 280000 calories over 7 days. They seem to be ordering in most of their meals on vacation so far. Who is possibly eating all of this food???

    I understand accommodations for the tastes, likes and dislikes for such a large family but shopping without regard to cost fascinates me. I’m not criticizing, I just find these shopping trips mesmerizing. Her son is such a dear to be so helpful. When I shopped for just my daughter and me, I used coupons and price compared in order to make food stamps and budget stretch. Now, when I shop for my husband and me, I still use coupons and price compare. When my husband’s adult vegan son and pescatarian daughter visit, I use coupons and price compare. When my now adult daughter, SIL and toddler grandson visit, well, you know the drill. I don’t know how to shop any other way even though we have a much larger income than when I was a single parent.

      @Lori Smith Oh, I agree there is a lot of sugar and processed food. Having said that, I was trying to not completely bash her parenting. I do understand that with this large a family, she is taking short cuts so that she can enjoy her time with the kids. Having said that, I would cut down on the sugar and give the kids limits. "These are the snacks I am purchasing. You can choose what you like from the variety I have selected." I would refrain from purchasing each kid's favorite at every trip. Or, rotate who gets to make a specific selection.
