    One time in my life, I would like to go shopping without having to wait for a sale, check the clearance isle, check sale or mark downs in the store, try to find the best bargains and starting shopping back in August. Never once did she have to check the price. Kudos to her for being able to really SHOP!

    Woah! As soon as I heard the first total I was shocked, that's like 6 childhood Christmases combined for me. I'm glad you and your husband can get each kid what they want with little to no worry, my entire childhood was put on a budget, but I never cared because it's not always about the gifts. Because I certainly can't remember what I got for christmas each year, but I can always remember the memories made during those times. I'm not bashing on you or anything, just very happy for you that you can afford to make these kids extremely happy!

    Okay I'm not being hateful I promise. I have watched you forever. I want to tell you a story though. In August I got diagnosed with cancer. Double mastectomy in October and in chemo now. I asked my 16 year old what he wanted for Christmas. He said I already got my Christmas gift you are alive. He said even one gift would be icing on his cake. I know I am the center of his world. We are so close. I went on black Friday to the Verizon store and got him his first big phone and iPhone 14 like you did. He got a watch and earbuds free with it. I got an iPad free too. I will give that to my husband. Why didn't you do that. It would have saved thousands for you. How do you know if the kids truly love or just love what you buy them. Gifts don't equal love. I pray for you. I want you to know true love without the money.

  • @residingintheinbetween5450
    @residingintheinbetween5450 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    I have a suggestion. For many families, this Christmas season will be tight, and many children will not receive what they normally do. How about instead of flexing all the money you have on your children all the time, use this opportunity to find a family who is deserving of the help and provide them with groceries and gifts for the entire family and include your children in on the adventure. Your children are not learning about empathy and giving by shoveling as many gifts as you do on a daily basis down their throats. Doing half of what you do for your children would be WAY MORE than most receive in their childhood, and they would learn to be more appreciative of what they do receive as well as learning to give back to others when you are blessed beyond measure on a daily basis. UPDATE: Apparently, I have insulted other viewers with my opinion, and that was not my intent. My opinion is that Christmas is a way to give back to others instead of receiving. It's my opinion, which I have a right to have. All of those who disagree also have a right to their opinions, and Alicia likely will not read nor care about my comment. She has every right to do what she wishes with her money. It was simply my suggestion as a way to help others and her own children. Merry Christmas!

It’s about a mom going above and beyond to give her kids what they want because they deserve it by being wonderful kids. They are very lucky to be able to have parents who can do that, since a lot of people don’t. But trying to be negative because they can have this doesn’t make it better for anyone else. I have a large family and always had a changing family growing up because we did foster care.

    When children are constantly being bought things they can become unappreciative. Also things don't make one happy. It's love that brings happiness. Also children can become spoiled and selfish. When they get older they will expect so much and get upset when they don't get their own way or get what they want. Children are happy with simple things and love,kisses and hugs and telling them you love them and showing them you do. Things don't always show love.

    Just come across your channel today & at first I was really enjoying your videos & shorts but then I came to your Christmas shopping video & I am not believing what you were buying for these kids!!! Ridiculous, I can see each child getting 1 or 2 big items & a few “regular” items & stocking stuffers but a 24” gold heavy chain for a young teen, or any aged teen, is mind blowing. Then you added, expensive tennis shoes & an iPad. I’m an adult & I’ve never even shopped like that for myself! I don’t think you are doing these kids any favors by going overboard like this! They certainly can’t understand the value of a dollar! I’m finished going on about this but really just because you can afford to buy all this doesn’t mean you should. I’m not sure I’ll watch anymore videos or continue my subscription which I just subscribed today.

    I feel like all of this is for flex and shock value to get people talking and looking at her videos. This is a ridiculous amount of money to be spending on children who already have so much (material possessions). You can tell how proud she is the more money she spends. It’s wasteful and unnecessary. She is not relatable and becoming more unlikable.

    Man I am so happy that my mom and dad didn’t raise me to be spoiled the way you are raising your kids. My dad grew up during WWII and he worked from the time he was 9 years old until 65 and my 2 sisters and myself would never have dreamt of asking for $120 shoes! I have more respect for my parents because they taught us that if we wanted something we WORKED for it. There are people that are struggling and having to decide do they buy food or pay rent and your out buying a iPad for a 4 year old?

    I can't imagine having twelve kids. Both of my parents came from large families. My Mama was the oldest of nine, my Daddy was the youngest of twelve. As for me I'm an only child. I don't know if it was because they couldn't improve on protection or that they were just tired of sharing, lol 😆. I never had children of my own. I lost a baby in my early twenties and a few years later I was diagnosed with cancer. I've been cancer free for thirty - two years. I was blessed that I got to be apart the lives of cousins and their children. I five wonderful borrowed children four boys the oldest one is also my godson and I have a beautiful and intelligent daughter. I'm truly blessed. Merry Christmas to the Dougherty family.❤️🙏🌨️❄️☃️⛄🎄🎁🧑‍🎄🎀🕯️
