I found her because I liked grocery hauls, cleaning motivation and cooking. I stayed because I worried about her kids. I left because worrying about her kids caused me mental health issues. I've stated before on your channel I was never able to carry or to give birth to a child. That ability was taken from me in a heinous way (he is in prison now) but I always wanted to be a mommy. I married a man with 2 beautiful girls and I cant explain the overwhelming joy being a bonus mom gives me. I would give my life for my girls and seeing Alicia as well as other family vloggers treat their children as cash cows breaks my heart.
I’m so sorry about what happened to you. But I wanted to say I’m glad to see someone else say “ bonus” instead of “step”. I grew up with “ bonus dad and bonus family” Now I have finally found my biological dad and his family and now also gained amazing new bonus family :) xx
I started watching her because of her Grocery hauls . Then it Started to dawn on me she was being wasteful.. I raised 5 kids as a single mom so I found it interesting and was impressed she didn't have to worry about money.. Then I found your channel and started to see things differently..
The thing I have questioned from day one is this: I follow Amy Maryon. She has 10 kids and she vlogs about grocery shopping and cooking and her family. She goes to Costco, low cost grocery stores, where sales are. Drive to a different town to a food haul at a cheap grocery. She cooks big batches of food labels and dates and will have freezers full of meals for the family and stuff the kids can bake or microwave on their own. She has “fragment fridays” where she pulls fragments (leftovers) and puts them together and makes new meals for snacking on weekends no waste! She’s great! Why does this woman do virtually no cooking! No meals in pans in the freezer. Name brand everything and tons of it the “we don’t judge eating” is their excuse! You sit the kids down and explain the concept of a budget and income! Two name brand outfits the rest from places like Old Navy or even a really uptown thrift store?! They spend money like they are printing it! You can find great stuff you just have to look often!
My daughter got $500 for her birthday.. we took her shopping today to go spend her money. She wanted clothes and shoes. After buying 3 pairs of jeans she realized how fast money goes. & said “yea I’m done shopping” 😂 That’s when I said “yea so when you ask me and dad for this & that and wonder why you always done get it… now you know.. money doesn’t grow n trees & it’s something you need to work for them treat yourself” I think it was a good lesson for her. She needed to see how fast money goes on just a few things.
Yes. We have our son $350 for his birthday to shop with when he turned 14 and he wouldn’t spend it all. He realized how quickly it goes. He saved half of it.
We have four kids, I shopped for 2 at a time. Spent under $400 us for full winter wardrobes including rain boots, full snow suits, school stuff for one kid, winter coats, school clothes, etc. We bought second hand, some stuff new with tags not that it matters, anything nice by the end of the season gets saved for the next kid. I literally cannot fathom this much money on back to school, we spent less than half of it on our week beach vacation!
Apparently, in one of her most recent shorts, she shared the location of where her kids go every day, as well as their school colors. 90% of the comments were concerns about their safety, but she didn't care. She buys them shit, shares their ages, birthdays, and other personal info, and now people know where they're going to be every minute of every day. Great job Alisha, well done *slow, sarcastic clap*
Sorry for saying this but Alicia is not a mom. Foster kids are not supposed to be on the internet by law. Not just foster kids. Neither her own kids. I was a fostered kid and we couldn t have a social account or picture of us on the internet. Nothing. Like i wasn t in a good family cause i was abused in first foster family. In second it was better. But i had some traunatic problem that hapoened to me and i m glad my 2nd foster parents didn t documented this anywhere.
@@itsjo1301 Very true, I completely agree. She doesn't always show them, but at the same time, she wants to "represent" fostering and adopting for the fat paycheck it will bring.
@@itsjo1301 she currently doesn't have any foster kids. 2 are kinship and a judge gave them permission (plus kids bio mum) to be on vlogs. The rest are adopted. You're so right though foster kids are not meant to be on any family vlog that's why I am so annoyed of Now I Am Known who popped up on my you tube feed with a vlog I'm getting a new kid. I watched it and was so annoyed that on camera he made his new foster kid age 3 to put on sun glasses so he can be in the vlog. He makes his other 2 foster kids wear sunglasses too. I couldn't watch and then commented on the vlog and I got slatted for writing your foster kids shouldn't be on camera. I also was in thr care system and in my days yes things were very strict. Things and times have changed in that even if a child is adopted or fostered (includes the UK) they can set up their own social media accounts. I've got friends who've adopted kid. Some are allowed to show faces but choose not to. Some aren't allowed to put any details on social media. Things will be different in each state in the US.
Dont know but she seems to make all happy in her family. She does alot no matter being overboard!!! I wouldn't do that, they would continue to expect it always in life.
No way is she this calm when the camera is off! I love my kids but I lose my shit sometimes when they are fighting. If I had 12 kids I would be a dumpster fire 🔥
Personally I think she is so overwhelmed by even just the sheer amount of kids, that she now comes across as calm, even though its probably just the fact that she has gotten past the point of caring.
Alicia...when you pick up something and you don't want it...You need to fold them back the way you find them. I feel bad for the associate who has to clean up the mess.
@Gabrielle Molinaro if I still worked in retail and saw her in the store I just might tell her off! Might be worth losing my job! She is terrible and she lets her kids just run all over the place and touch everything!
Your channel is my guilty pleasure. 😂 The snark, the songs, the real talk, and wholesome advocacy for kids who don't get the protection they deserve. Thanks, pal. Keep up the good work. 😃
Not excusing Jesssfam but at least her back to school shopping videos are practical and logical. She took some of the kids separately, went in with a list, got the things on the list, and bought her kids regularly priced normal shoes. Even when her kids were asking for expensive designer shoes, she said no.
Or Chloe from Life with Beans and shop online off camera? Or Mills Family Vlog where he goes by himself or takes one or two children with him to shop? Heck, even Claire Luvcat who vlogs about her 10 cats let's the 2 cats who do not like to be on camera sit out while these family vloggers force all their children to be on camera. So why can't she let any of the children be off camera?
Hopefully she actually edited and cut her videos. How do people watch these "vlogs"? They are so low effort and boring. DCP has to comment on garbage video and audio because there isn't even anything happening. She wouldn't have to film 24/7 if she had any sort of talent or sense. But I guess smart people don't need to use their kids for content.
@@BriaBarrows that's what I'm saying. They could have bought a brand new house that has more room for their family. But instead they buy tons of stuff and spend thousands on birthdays. I could never
These are the kinds of people who will end up broke no matter how much money they get. They should buy much less, save their money, pay off all debts, and invest in a better home that can be paid off quickly.
@@Elizabethsceg invest in the kids futures since they are basically employees. At least give them a retirement or education account. Maybe she did but she doesn't seem to be very smart, so I doubt it.
The boys messed up multiple displays because they had no help finding sizes, little ones had hands and lips all over the mirrors, there is no guidance or respect for the clerks. Poor parenting
If she had decided to take all the kids for shopping, I think she should have given each 1 elder siblings to be responsible for 1 younger, and that the fussy kids with mother herself.
This woman seems to only care about herself. Selfless people do not have 12 kids without enough willing hands to care for them. There are almost always older siblings being forcibly parentified and end up despising their "parents"
I’m a single mom of 2 and $100 a kid for back to school was difficult for me to afford but I managed to get them necessities. My children are super thankful for what they receive and respect me and for that I’m grateful. If I had the money that that clown has I’d do something productive with it and not blow it on garbage. Shameful!!
I remember back in the 70’s. Mom would spend a lot money on us kids that they budgeted for. We didn’t needed the fancy but practical things needed. That’s all. In elementary school , us kids was instructed by the teacher not to waste things , paper , write in all full in our work books. Not to damage school books. We survived just fine. I was just like that little kid in the blue. The teacher told me to take the waste paper basket to the incinerator furnace room. The Engineers took the basket from me and threw the paper on the fire.
investment and college funds. Any penny you can save for those kids will help them in the future. They will not remember the clothes they wear when they are in middle school unless they are severely bad. They will remember having a massive advantage of not having ridiculous amounts of debt due to their parents giving a crap about their future.
Appreciate your videos. It’s important to call out the hypocrisy and Alicia has had questionable actions since the beginning of their social media fame. I’m surprised more folks aren’t speaking out on them.
My younger brother works his butt off at Kohls to keep the store neat. I can't imagine a Mother too busy holding a camera while the kids no fault of their own were just throwing clothing everywhere. One of her Stans said that's the employees job. Also, her husband only helped the youngest biological daughter.
I can’t even imagine. I was an only child and have 3. It gets to be a bit much with 3 sometimes. I don’t know anything about sibling rivalry and the nonstop talking!! I love them beyond comprehension but sometimes I wish they would hush for 5 seconds. 😂
I noticed that on a recent morning routine. The bag of cheese was in one spot and then it was in another and you never saw her move it. So something was said was my feeling.
Is it that bad for 12? We took my niece that is 13 & spent 1,100 on back to school. She didn’t even get that many. The price of clothes and shoes is ridiculous.
@@sarahc39 you spend how much on clothes and shoes that the kid is going to grow out of within monthes? No clothes and shoes are that expensive if you shop reasonably. And no, prices even with inflation aren't that high unless you pay for brand names, not quality.
@@sisuguillam5109 well see she’s wearing the same size as she has, her foot hasn’t grown in 2 years either. She does sports and they have to have specific shoes, and shorts. That is a big chunk. Other than sports related she got 3 shirts, a coat, a few pair of pants, 1 everyday shoe, and under garments. She also got some leggings & comfy shorts. That’s also backpack, lunchbox, school supplies, & teacher gifts. I would say it wasn’t that bad. She still could use more that she will probably get for Christmas.
@@sisuguillam5109 also you aren’t aware where I’m from. We have select stores and not a huge variety. We also online shop at various places that are considered cheap, not good, low quality clothes but that’s okay to get some basic shirts for cheap.
I never comment but since I’ve found your channel I cannot stop watching or laughing! I use to watch her channel until I found you, now I don’t. I’m a female Correctional Officer at a state prison for men and it’s tough times out there so when I come home I watch your videos and laugh so thank you for the laughter therapy, I’ve needed it😂👍
The reason that she gets so many views is because it's fascinating to watch how she spends money, you said it yourself Josh, you can't wait to see what she does at Christmas.
After being cooped up in the house for the past 3 days taking care of sick kids, this is the laugh I needed! I watch her videos before you snark on them and I love that you say what we’re all thinking!
Those kids tore up that store! The youngest playing in between clothes racks and standing with the mannequins was absolutely nonsense it’s not a play ground.
They certainly did! She lets them look for what they want. They don't know their sizes and pick up any size, then it's wrong, then lay it down unfolded. That gave me anxiety. Had to stop watching!!
Basically like jesssfam’s kids!! Imagine being her poor neighbours with even the outside of the front looking like a tip!! And the noise if you wanted to sit in your own back garden 🫣🫣 no thanks
I grew up with everything I needed but we are not rich. I remember from the age of 7 I went to shop for clothes with my mom and looked at the price first bc if it was too expensive I knew she couldnt afford it and it would only make her feel bad. I can't imagine going shopping and not look at the prices, not once.
As a mom of two myself This is disturbing I'm a natural planner and we always have a goal of what we are looking for, we go and try to find whatever it is and then we are done. I always watched them 110% when they were little cuz there are creepers out there. Happy to say. I go to Costco maybe once a month because we don't need an Astronomical amount of food.
I've seen this thought several times and I don't understand it. While Dougherty is over the top these kids were put with her for a reason. I think its great they get to enjoy things they didn't have with their families and just get to be children.
YSL cologne has nothing to do with "just being children". These children weren't put in the foster system because their parents didn't buy them name brands. Afterwards, it will be hard because they've been taught zero practical life skills by Alisha.
She should be putting money in savings accounts for those 2 kids since they're helping her rake in the $$$. She openly said she wasn't taking them at first because she wouldn't be allowed to video. So there's your care and compassion. There is none.
speaking of her waste, there is one thing that stands out to me from one of her grocery videos that exactly proves your point. she said “the twins go through queso so fast because they open a new one every time and it gets lost in the fridge.” that went on for WEEKS without her noticing. they absolutely have food they don’t know about, and she is definitely not teaching her children about the value of things. i feel bad for the younger ones in the future.
Yes, I only have four kids but I still prefer to split it up, either one at a time or two at a time. It's much more enjoyable and productive for all of us.
I think she not only addicted to alchohol but I’m pretty sure she’s addicted to shopping as well. People like her have addictive personalities. She always has to have something addicted to so she feels whole.
No common sense. My sister is exactly the same way. Grocery and just shopping. 🥴 these type of people literally suck the energy and life out of you. Chaotic with no accomplishment.
I’m pretty sure one of the twins picked out a woman’s Nike tank top, the swoosh was flowers, but no one was attentive enough to tell him it was a woman’s shirt.
@@ileneglenn845 nothing wrong with wearing what you like - just because someone put a sticker on it saying 'for girls' or 'for boys' doesn't mean you have to comply with that. Especially when you are a kid. The kids need guidance with fitting, quality, and what to shop.
The white claw thing is simple math.. she buys 3+ cases of white claw and only 1 little coffee canister for the week... there's no way she's filling that huge tumbler 3x a day with only coffee all week.
She looked healthier in some of her older videos as well. Her face has thinned down a lot now and looks different, reminds me of the people you see smoking outside a bar.
Does her husband drink coffee, and if so, from home? I think that would make an impact on coffee usage as well. I have nothing against drinking but not everyday, all day, around adopted children easily and children with FASD is mind blowing to me.
I'm a florist..a manager at that..and during Valentine's day and mother's day we have a lot of extra help that we bring in and without fail there's always someone yelling my name every minute to ask a question (sometimes the same question multiple damn times). And every damn time I wanna pull my hair out and scream because I am only one person and I've got tons of other things that I'm focusing on other than answering questions that other people can answer. I would not be able to handle wrangling 12 kids in a store saying mom, mom, mom, mom over and over again. I love kids don't get me wrong, but I don't want 12 kids! I would go nuts.
I was really bothered with how even mom would look at the shirts on the tables and mess them all up. I swear, the employees are spending hours cleaning up after the family.
You could see some of the kids needed & wanted one on one attention. Bree and some of the younger boys kept asking her to look at things & seems like they weren't getting full attention they craved. Would have been better to take 2 or 3 younger ones at a time and bonded/enjoy the time. Often seems like kids are crying out for parent time & they could then better understand choices, money, budgeting etc.
Yes, it would be so much better for the kids with just a couple of them at a time. Plus she’d have multiple videos to make money from, not that I want to give her ideas.
I feel the exact same way. It's also time to take as a bonding experience. They needed her and she wasn't even present. I would think that time and attention would be incredibly beneficial to these kids.
The trip was so scattered and hectic. She wants the kids to pick literally anything they want, but gave zero guidance of what they should look for . She could of at least told them they each need to find 5 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 sweaters etc, some kind of plan for them to keep everything making sense and organized
Can't wait for this one, I saw about 10 minutes and the shopping trip was complete chaos. Had to shut it off. Kids of all ages just wondering through the store on their own, picking whatever they wanted.
This is just gross! This is totally for content. Their last big shopping spree was supposed to be for back to school where each kid was told 3 outfits or something like that. They spent that money there and then ordered a bunch online and now this. She's teaching these kids terrible things. She needs to be teaching them how to help; others instead of only helping themselves. They got rich fast and they can go poor faster. This youtube thing will only be short term and then what will she do? She's creating a bunch of spoiled and greedy kids. Good luck to her when all her kids are throwing fits because they don't get the massive shops anymore.
@@coffeepeachesplans Who said anything about baby formula?? I’m pretty sure that doesn’t have anything to do with back to school shopping. I’m confused.
@@lindaritter1343 It definitely is. That's all the more reason she should be donating money and items to others and get her kids doing it too. I was a poor single mom of 2 who raised my kids on my own. I'm thankful they're both grown now because I don't know how I would be able to get everything they needed and some of their wants with todays prices and shortages. People are going to grocery stores with some items not available so either they have to pick an alternative or go without and then we have people like her who buys an insane amount of stuff that could be shared with others or left in the stores for others to buy. What makes it worse is a lot of that stuff will never get used or will go to waste. It's very selfish and greedy! I am not jealous or feeling bad for myself because I can't shop like her. I'm disgusted by it and would never want to be like that no matter how much money I had. Kids appreciate what their parents give them more when they're not just given any and everything.
@@angieburns6241 well done Angie you should be very proud of yourself I bet your kids grow up better then her kids. One day those kids are in for a shock. I have noticed that there are a few people on TH-cam like her showing of there big houses or huge kitchens. I live in England and I am always amazed how much food some people store its like they have little supermarkets in there basements
@@lindaritter1343It's crazy how people can accumulate that much of a stock pile. I think it's good if it's actually getting used. I do like watching the videos of peoples stock piles but always wonder why they need to store that much, especially when they're doing regular shopping trips.
One of the twins asked if he had allowance to buy a toy. She said no. Meanwhile one of her biological children got at least 3 expensive toys abs another biological child got an expensive toy. She also received a large teddy box of toys from Beverly Hilla Teddy Bears. She let her youngest and biological child open everything. Then the child was scooping it all up so no one could have any. There were enough toys to split between several.
Yes, Harlee was given so many stuffed toys I thought the thing to do was donate some to an organization. That’s not part of Alicia’s plan, it’s to get more for her.
I noticed that as well Nicky and the boys (twins) looked to me anyway like they had a fear each time they looked at dad whilst making pizzas (maybe warned to behave I don’t know) but just all seems a bit off to me lol round
The lives were really eye opening to me. Yes, there is a clear difference how she treats bio vs adopted kids (besides Alex). I can't believe more people can't see it.
@@Susanjoc That one bothered me as well. It was addressing to the family. She allowed the youngest to open and take it all when some of the others would enjoy it.
One of my biggest concerns I have is the two kinship placement kids she has. I wonder how hard of an adjustment to going back to their own family may be. Like they’re going from being allowed to buy anything to maybe a more normal way of living.
Josh you make me laugh so hard. I nearly spit my water out. These kids are going to grow up materialistic , ungrateful and entitled. They're just learning that wasting food and binge spending is okay.
When I was in school we did buy some school supplies for the coming year. But we certainly didn’t get a whole new wardrobe. We’d buy a few items as we grew out of them or they were handed down from the older kids. This mass spending just seems so insane and wasteful to me.
Oh my God. She has to be SO unhappy. I do a little retail therapy here and there too. But I can’t imagine going to those DEPTHS of spending money that could be saved for their kids’ college!! What if they filmed a video about doing family chores together and putting large chunks of change into savings funds? Maybe they could write some of that off too! At least it would be a little more original.
I'm surprised she didn't just order all matching outfits for everyone, the same outfits for every single school day, with their names on the front and back! WT-ACTUAL-F...oreo triplets? Never heard that from her but OMG, NO!!
@@tinabartlett6079 it's not that she calls them triplets, that I get. What I don't get is her calling them the Oreo triplets. To me that can be offensive.
@@tinabartlett6079 No she said it and she actually typed it in captions when the twins had just arrived and you know they were developing the relationship she said it and has typed it and I believe that she has said it since her TikTok days
These poor kids probably have all fake friends because her kids go to school with STACKS! Those kids are going to struggle in life because all she's teaching them is to feel entitled
I'm in Ontario, in the next few weeks it will be cold. The kids start this Tuesday. I still buy them a few summer outfits for thr first month of school. It's nice to have new outfits for the first week, at least. Then I'll go through their fall clothes from last year and see what fits, and grab some new stuff after when it's needed 🤷♀️
Okay, what the actual f?! I don’t even buy myself a lot of super expensive perfume. And I always wait until I can get the 20% off at Sephora lol. Jesus man. These kids aren’t being taught anything about the value of money 😑🤦🏻♀️
I feel so bad for the employees that have to refold all those shirts the kids and her messed up! I used to work retail it sucked when families like theirs came in!! She even said in another video they were supposed to get fall clothes because it’s going to get cold!! If I did my math right she’s going to get at least $840 in kohl’s cash $10 for every $50 spent!! Will she actually spend it or let it expire?! Can’t wait to see Christmas!!
I have already seen this video of the back to school shop…and I just wish Alicia would of put the camera down sometimes to help the children find their sizes etc….and to just let them pick whatever they wanted regards of the price is just madness, would be a good idea to give them a budget each given their own amount of money to do their shopping. Maybe if they could of done the shopping in 2 halves the parents would of had more time to spend helping them out. 😁
My mom worked and still found time to take us shopping and split us up. She took my sister and I together (we're 17 months apart and we were always close in sizes). Then she would take my brother. We got her attention, and she was able to make sure we got what we needed. Took her two trips. Not hard.
@@AllThingsClarice just type in Dougherty dozen Christmas and you'll see a few videos. They are really shorts. I think the total on the one was over 16,000
She reminds me a lot of Kate Gosselin. She lied to the world so she could make money off her kids backs. She was horrible to them and then it ENDS! Most likely not well. Those poor children.
The kids are having fun and taking full advantage of the shopping buying/choosing what they want. They are new clothes not hand ne downs, good quality, so shouldn't be a problem or anyone else's business. You think Alex is unhappy because he has a new jeep and living the best years of his life playing high school football, and teenage years. They are all growing up and doing things the kids otherwise couldn't do in other families.
I never, NEVER bring all of my kids shopping with me (I have 4). After having three I started online shopping or shopping when they are at school. The anxiety of the possibility of one of them going missing or just not listening to me is enough for me to never bring them 😂🙈 just thinking about shopping with 12 kids makes my blood pressure spike
We shop online too. We've got three kids. I add things to the online cart and I pick up and have the kiddos help unload the car. We have grocery positions so each person doesn't have to walk back and forth 😹
My parents would give us $200 and I thought that was so much! But a quality pair of jeans cost $50-60 when I was a kid. So I'd have to budget my tshirts and PE clothes. Was good responsibility
Hahahahaha. You are hilarious 😂 😂😂. And so right on with the DD. I’m a new subscriber here and discovered the DD a few months ago. Fried my brain about how much money she blows. These kids have no responsibilities at all. They lose clothes constantly. She is such a hot mess and I love I found someone who calls her out!! Must not be carts here, unlike Walmart where she goes through 3-4 carts buying junk food. This is so damn funny. Love it!
She probably used Kohl’s cash too smh I think she’s pumping these kids for endorsements. 😤 She makes a point to say Nike and Walmart. Like begging for a deal. 😒
I tried to screen shot it and zoom in to see the kohl's cash she earned...its normally $10 for every $50 you spend ao I think that's about $900 in khols cash minimum!!!!!
She’s buying these brands at the most expensive stores. I find Nike and under armour adidas Jordan at stores in the US called Ross and DD’s discounts really cheap
She doesn’t even look at prices. She spends 4 grand every time they shop and doesn’t even care. Wait until you see how much she spent on perfume/ cologne at the Sephora counter! They even bought items that weren’t clothes. It must be nice to spend and not worry about a budget! She spent over 4 grand at Dick’s a few weeks ago for sneakers. WOW!
Granted I do not have 12 children but I have five and fixing to have another one and it’s pretty easy for us to go to the store for school clothes and shoes and drop a couple thousand dollars and my kids get to pick what they want what they like but I’m obviously double checking sizes I’m not letting them go buck wild because I know in another couple months they’re going to have outgrown this shit and I’m going to have to be shopping all over again so it doesn’t pay when they’re at a growing stage to spend so exorbitantly I mean yes I spent $370 on custom Nikes for my son he plays basketball he wears them out he’s old enough now that he can wear a shoe for longer than a few months without outgrowing it and I work very hard to be able to provide those things for my kids and it’s not at the cost of our future either it’s not taking money out of our savings this family should be concerned because they can’t do TH-cam forever and ever this gravy train is going to run out and one teacher salary can’t support 12 kids in this lifestyle to which they have become so accustomed. Especially if she gets canceled like she should
I’m new to watching them and found this through the channel. I understand these people must make a killing but how are they spending an entire salary per week?! She’s spending thousands a DAY. I just don’t see how they are able to do this.
This is so disgusting. Spending money like it’s going out of fashion. No control of the children. I had to cancel my food shop this week as I needed petrol and had to add electric so didn’t have enough for all three!! Dinner tonight was toast 🥺🥺 Dinner tomorrow will probably be cereal
I live not far from them and its definitely pants and hoodie weather most days, and if its not its going to be by the time they grow out of those shorts(2-3 weeks)
I shop at the same Wegmans that Alicia does... they had to set ground rules with her for her to be allowed to continuing vlogging there (my friend works in the cafe there so I have a little insider info 😂) She has to come between either 6-8am or 10-12am when the store is least crowded. She has to inform them IN ADVANCE when she's coming. She cannot have her camera on anyone and certain areas of the store like the pharmacy and restroom areas are banned completely. They had to put guidelines in place because customers AND staff complained about her camera. I can assure you the managers are not fans of hers... But remember they're a business and they have to make money so turning her away is a loss to them. They compromise... I think it's fair BUT I've definitely seen customers in her vlogs.. she plays it close to the edge. 🤬
Josh, I love you ! 😂 I lived in Rochester for two years about 8 years ago and we had SIX FEET OF SNOW because of the lake effect. I cannot even imagine buying summer clothes in august. Insanity. I also wanted to touch on the name brand thing. Not really in this video but the overall. A lot of people who donate to shelters, schools who give to underprivileged families etc, usually donate name brand clothing. I’m not sure why but from personal experience I’ve seen this a lot. Possibly off season, very discounted items.
Thrift stores around me are full of name brand clothing also. I got a 100 percent cashmere sweater for a buck also. People like her buying stuff that never gets used and then gets donated. Hopefully gets donated on her part.
I live right outside Buffalo and we get a ton of snow. I admit I bought my son some shorts to start school so he looked nice for the first month when it is still warm

I’m so sorry about what happened to you.
But I wanted to say I’m glad to see someone else say “ bonus” instead of “step”.
I grew up with “ bonus dad and bonus family”
Now I have finally found my biological dad and his family and now also gained amazing new bonus family :) xx
I started watching her because of her Grocery hauls . Then it Started to dawn on me she was being wasteful.. I raised 5 kids as a single mom so I found it interesting and was impressed she didn't have to worry about money.. Then I found your channel and started to see things differently..
Ha ha, we’ve all been there Beth! I was an original fan of the channel too! Lol!
Kudos to you Beth. Raising 5 kids on your own. You are a super mom ❤
Literally same
same here
Same thing
The thing I have questioned from day one is this: I follow Amy Maryon. She has 10 kids and she vlogs about grocery shopping and cooking and her family. She goes to Costco, low cost grocery stores, where sales are. Drive to a different town to a food haul at a cheap grocery. She cooks big batches of food labels and dates and will have freezers full of meals for the family and stuff the kids can bake or microwave on their own. She has “fragment fridays” where she pulls fragments (leftovers) and puts them together and makes new meals for snacking on weekends no waste! She’s great!
Why does this woman do virtually no cooking! No meals in pans in the freezer. Name brand everything and tons of it the “we don’t judge eating” is their excuse! You sit the kids down and explain the concept of a budget and income! Two name brand outfits the rest from places like Old Navy or even a really uptown thrift store?! They spend money like they are printing it! You can find great stuff you just have to look often!
Amy is great. Really like her food videos.
My daughter got $500 for her birthday.. we took her shopping today to go spend her money. She wanted clothes and shoes. After buying 3 pairs of jeans she realized how fast money goes. & said “yea I’m done shopping” 😂
That’s when I said “yea so when you ask me and dad for this & that and wonder why you always done get it… now you know.. money doesn’t grow n trees & it’s something you need to work for them treat yourself” I think it was a good lesson for her. She needed to see how fast money goes on just a few things.
Good job mom, exactly what I did
Now that is great parenting. Thats how you teach your child how to appreciate things and to work hard for them. Your doing great!
Yes. We have our son $350 for his birthday to shop with when he turned 14 and he wouldn’t spend it all. He realized how quickly it goes. He saved half of it.
The mother inside me is screaming HEAD COUNT 1-12 NOW
We have four kids, I shopped for 2 at a time. Spent under $400 us for full winter wardrobes including rain boots, full snow suits, school stuff for one kid, winter coats, school clothes, etc. We bought second hand, some stuff new with tags not that it matters, anything nice by the end of the season gets saved for the next kid. I literally cannot fathom this much money on back to school, we spent less than half of it on our week beach vacation!
Apparently, in one of her most recent shorts, she shared the location of where her kids go every day, as well as their school colors. 90% of the comments were concerns about their safety, but she didn't care. She buys them shit, shares their ages, birthdays, and other personal info, and now people know where they're going to be every minute of every day. Great job Alisha, well done *slow, sarcastic clap*
Safety is not a priority for them. I really thought the strangers popping in would wake her up, but seemed to love someone stopping by to praise her.
Sorry for saying this but Alicia is not a mom. Foster kids are not supposed to be on the internet by law. Not just foster kids. Neither her own kids. I was a fostered kid and we couldn t have a social account or picture of us on the internet. Nothing. Like i wasn t in a good family cause i was abused in first foster family. In second it was better. But i had some traunatic problem that hapoened to me and i m glad my 2nd foster parents didn t documented this anywhere.
@@itsjo1301 Very true, I completely agree. She doesn't always show them, but at the same time, she wants to "represent" fostering and adopting for the fat paycheck it will bring.
@@AliAngelpie I already hate her. She s on the black list like Royalty family and Jess Fam.
@@itsjo1301 she currently doesn't have any foster kids. 2 are kinship and a judge gave them permission (plus kids bio mum) to be on vlogs.
The rest are adopted. You're so right though foster kids are not meant to be on any family vlog that's why I am so annoyed of Now I Am Known who popped up on my you tube feed with a vlog I'm getting a new kid. I watched it and was so annoyed that on camera he made his new foster kid age 3 to put on sun glasses so he can be in the vlog. He makes his other 2 foster kids wear sunglasses too. I couldn't watch and then commented on the vlog and I got slatted for writing your foster kids shouldn't be on camera.
I also was in thr care system and in my days yes things were very strict.
Things and times have changed in that even if a child is adopted or fostered (includes the UK) they can set up their own social media accounts.
I've got friends who've adopted kid. Some are allowed to show faces but choose not to. Some aren't allowed to put any details on social media.
Things will be different in each state in the US.
Meanwhile I'm anxious af about spending $90 on summer clothing and it will probably be the ONLY seasonal shopping I do for myself
I made last sesonal shopping before covid
I shop for clothes for myself once....maybe twice in one year, and even then I can only afford a couple things. Sometimes I can only afford one shirt
“I’ll wait at the exits so no one can steal you” 💀
One of your best videos yet.
That made me lol. 😂😂
Dont know but she seems to make all happy in her family. She does alot no matter being overboard!!! I wouldn't do that, they would continue to expect it always in life.
No way is she this calm when the camera is off! I love my kids but I lose my shit sometimes when they are fighting. If I had 12 kids I would be a dumpster fire 🔥
Same girl same. Lmao at dumpster 🔥🔥🤣🤣
I I m a a a was

MiOip f bc b😊 ko😅luck ppl o79❤r❤😂e;;34(4444((((. Hvyugoh my
Personally I think she is so overwhelmed by even just the sheer amount of kids, that she now comes across as calm, even though its probably just the fact that she has gotten past the point of caring.
@@pikaiichuu White Claw keeps her calm....I think she stays mildly drunk all day
Fear might do it....or maybe she gets passive-aggressive revenge with her cold, disgusting "meals"
Alicia...when you pick up something and you don't want it...You need to fold them back the way you find them. I feel bad for the associate who has to clean up the mess.
Yep, I use to be one of those people that had to clean up after people like her!!!!
I work at jcpenny and these lazy as$ adults make more of a mess than a child would
Thought I was the only one who fold back clothes best as I can when I don’t want it😩
@Gabrielle Molinaro if I still worked in retail and saw her in the store I just might tell her off! Might be worth losing my job! She is terrible and she lets her kids just run all over the place and touch everything!
@@ciscoramon5767 I believe it! I saw it when I worked retail.
Your channel is my guilty pleasure. 😂 The snark, the songs, the real talk, and wholesome advocacy for kids who don't get the protection they deserve. Thanks, pal. Keep up the good work. 😃
Agree! And there are secret cadres of married guys who feel like you, lol!
Not excusing Jesssfam but at least her back to school shopping videos are practical and logical. She took some of the kids separately, went in with a list, got the things on the list, and bought her kids regularly priced normal shoes. Even when her kids were asking for expensive designer shoes, she said no.
Or Chloe from Life with Beans and shop online off camera? Or Mills Family Vlog where he goes by himself or takes one or two children with him to shop?
Heck, even Claire Luvcat who vlogs about her 10 cats let's the 2 cats who do not like to be on camera sit out while these family vloggers force all their children to be on camera. So why can't she let any of the children be off camera?
Hopefully she actually edited and cut her videos. How do people watch these "vlogs"? They are so low effort and boring. DCP has to comment on garbage video and audio because there isn't even anything happening. She wouldn't have to film 24/7 if she had any sort of talent or sense. But I guess smart people don't need to use their kids for content.
It’s poverty mentality. They struggled and didn’t have enough and now feel the need to over indulge in every facet. Clothes, food, etc.
But why not spend the money on a new house?
@@BriaBarrows that's what I'm saying. They could have bought a brand new house that has more room for their family. But instead they buy tons of stuff and spend thousands on birthdays. I could never
These are the kinds of people who will end up broke no matter how much money they get. They should buy much less, save their money, pay off all debts, and invest in a better home that can be paid off quickly.
@@BriaBarrows because they like their house
@@Elizabethsceg invest in the kids futures since they are basically employees. At least give them a retirement or education account. Maybe she did but she doesn't seem to be very smart, so I doubt it.
The boys messed up multiple displays because they had no help finding sizes, little ones had hands and lips all over the mirrors, there is no guidance or respect for the clerks. Poor parenting
Exactly. Those kids should be taken away!!!
Yeah she's terrible
If she had decided to take all the kids for shopping, I think she should have given each 1 elder siblings to be responsible for 1 younger, and that the fussy kids with mother herself.
This woman seems to only care about herself. Selfless people do not have 12 kids without enough willing hands to care for them. There are almost always older siblings being forcibly parentified and end up despising their "parents"
I’m a single mom of 2 and $100 a kid for back to school was difficult for me to afford but I managed to get them necessities. My children are super thankful for what they receive and respect me and for that I’m grateful. If I had the money that that clown has I’d do something productive with it and not blow it on garbage. Shameful!!
Good job mama! ❤️ I am in the same situation but with 4 kids so I can relate
Never hear the kids say thank you, or please can I, total disrespect
I remember back in the 70’s. Mom would spend a lot money on us kids that they budgeted for. We didn’t needed the fancy but practical things needed. That’s all. In elementary school , us kids was instructed by the teacher not to waste things , paper , write in all full in our work books. Not to damage school books. We survived just fine. I was just like that little kid in the blue. The teacher told me to take the waste paper basket to the incinerator furnace room. The Engineers took the basket from me and threw the paper on the fire.
@@queenbratbracken Show me one scene where she is teaching the kids how to shop or have gratitude. Just one.
investment and college funds. Any penny you can save for those kids will help them in the future. They will not remember the clothes they wear when they are in middle school unless they are severely bad. They will remember having a massive advantage of not having ridiculous amounts of debt due to their parents giving a crap about their future.
So glad we have school uniform in the UK. Makes life very easy!
Appreciate your videos. It’s important to call out the hypocrisy and Alicia has had questionable actions since the beginning of their social media fame. I’m surprised more folks aren’t speaking out on them.
JOSH You are cracking me up. Her videos erk you so bad, and listening to you is so much fun. I laughed so hard I cried. 🤣
My younger brother works his butt off at Kohls to keep the store neat. I can't imagine a Mother too busy holding a camera while the kids no fault of their own were just throwing clothing everywhere. One of her Stans said that's the employees job.
Also, her husband only helped the youngest biological daughter.
I just wanna let you know every time I watch you I’ve laughed and I get so happy every time you post a video
Omg same here
As an only child that now has no children, this entire situation is so anxiety inducing. I cannot imagine having to do this.
As the baby of my family with no children (by choice), this entire situation also… gives me a ton of anxiety 😳😬
As a mum ,all i can say to you is ,this is not necessary.It`s all done for the money.She is in no way relatable to the average parent.xx
I can’t even imagine. I was an only child and have 3. It gets to be a bit much with 3 sometimes. I don’t know anything about sibling rivalry and the nonstop talking!! I love them beyond comprehension but sometimes I wish they would hush for 5 seconds. 😂
The whole point is that she doesn't have to do this. She makes everything over the top and bizarre.
You and I are the same people. Lol. I cannot imagine.
your commentary is the best! I have laughed all night and morning watching you. i'm sick with strep and you have been the best entertainment! 😂🎉
I absolutely love these videos on the dumb dozen. Definitely look forward to watching you snark on other fams
She cuts the things she doesn’t want the world to hear. Probably her being rude or losing it
I noticed that on a recent morning routine. The bag of cheese was in one spot and then it was in another and you never saw her move it. So something was said was my feeling.
She also deletes comments that she doesn’t like.
@@alannahwatts5778 and when I mentioned organic she did a TikTok making fun of organic. After the comments were deleted.
It's called "editing". Pretty much every vlogger does it🙄
@@jamiehoward3151 Duh! You didn’t watch his video obviously. She cuts & edits but leaves the boring shit in her videos.
Almost TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in two months on “school” shit ?!? This is absurd and downright disgusting!
Seriously, I could pay off all my credit cards with the amount she spent!
Is it that bad for 12? We took my niece that is 13 & spent 1,100 on back to school. She didn’t even get that many. The price of clothes and shoes is ridiculous.
@@sarahc39 you spend how much on clothes and shoes that the kid is going to grow out of within monthes?
No clothes and shoes are that expensive if you shop reasonably. And no, prices even with inflation aren't that high unless you pay for brand names, not quality.
@@sisuguillam5109 well see she’s wearing the same size as she has, her foot hasn’t grown in 2 years either. She does sports and they have to have specific shoes, and shorts. That is a big chunk. Other than sports related she got 3 shirts, a coat, a few pair of pants, 1 everyday shoe, and under garments. She also got some leggings & comfy shorts. That’s also backpack, lunchbox, school supplies, & teacher gifts. I would say it wasn’t that bad. She still could use more that she will probably get for Christmas.
@@sisuguillam5109 also you aren’t aware where I’m from. We have select stores and not a huge variety. We also online shop at various places that are considered cheap, not good, low quality clothes but that’s okay to get some basic shirts for cheap.
When I read back to school shopping, I was expecting backpacks and various school supplies...
I never comment but since I’ve found your channel I cannot stop watching or laughing! I use to watch her channel until I found you, now I don’t. I’m a female Correctional Officer at a state prison for men and it’s tough times out there so when I come home I watch your videos and laugh so thank you for the laughter therapy, I’ve needed it😂👍
Nevaeh (or however her name is spelled) got two BIG bottles perfume... Black Opium and FlowerBomb.... FREAKIN' expensive!!!
The reason that she gets so many views is because it's fascinating to watch how she spends money, you said it yourself Josh, you can't wait to see what she does at Christmas.
After being cooped up in the house for the past 3 days taking care of sick kids, this is the laugh I needed! I watch her videos before you snark on them and I love that you say what we’re all thinking!
We always go thru last years clothes and see whT still fits and what gets passed on. Then we make a list of " needs" for each kid.
Those kids tore up that store! The youngest playing in between clothes racks and standing with the mannequins was absolutely nonsense it’s not a play ground.
They certainly did! She lets them look for what they want. They don't know their sizes and pick up any size, then it's wrong, then lay it down unfolded. That gave me anxiety. Had to stop watching!!
i thought the same thing.
what a joke. and she filmed the entire thing using her hand that should of been with kids cleaning up the mess
They were like a tornado swept thru the store! Unbelievable
Basically like jesssfam’s kids!! Imagine being her poor neighbours with even the outside of the front looking like a tip!! And the noise if you wanted to sit in your own back garden 🫣🫣 no thanks
Oh I'll say. Those kids tore that store up from the floor up! As someone who worked in retail for several years I was literally screaming
You have become my new favorite human! Thank you for your videos!
She will be out shopping for fall clothes in a month.
Exactly, I’m sure she did it this way so she’d have another shopping video to film in a month
That’s what I said. Another shopping trip to film
I grew up with everything I needed but we are not rich. I remember from the age of 7 I went to shop for clothes with my mom and looked at the price first bc if it was too expensive I knew she couldnt afford it and it would only make her feel bad. I can't imagine going shopping and not look at the prices, not once.
As a mom of two myself
This is disturbing
I'm a natural planner and we always have a goal of what we are looking for, we go and try to find whatever it is and then we are done.
I always watched them 110% when they were little cuz there are creepers out there.
Happy to say. I go to Costco maybe once a month because we don't need an Astronomical amount of food.
When you get comments remove from the dozens as you simply ask a question
I worry about the kindship kids the most, if they ever go back to their family, they won't have the luxuries. That's gunna be hard
I said basically the same thing on her vlog and got trashed! It's true tho.
I've seen this thought several times and I don't understand it. While Dougherty is over the top these kids were put with her for a reason. I think its great they get to enjoy things they didn't have with their families and just get to be children.
I thought the same thing.
YSL cologne has nothing to do with "just being children". These children weren't put in the foster system because their parents didn't buy them name brands. Afterwards, it will be hard because they've been taught zero practical life skills by Alisha.
She should be putting money in savings accounts for those 2 kids since they're helping her rake in the $$$. She openly said she wasn't taking them at first because she wouldn't be allowed to video. So there's your care and compassion. There is none.
Always dancing with you Josh!
speaking of her waste, there is one thing that stands out to me from one of her grocery videos that exactly proves your point. she said “the twins go through queso so fast because they open a new one every time and it gets lost in the fridge.” that went on for WEEKS without her noticing. they absolutely have food they don’t know about, and she is definitely not teaching her children about the value of things. i feel bad for the younger ones in the future.
My mom was the 10th of 11 kids they wasted nothing especially food clothes and shoes were handed down
still behind you Alicia!! yep
That song u made up, amazing !
Yes, I only have four kids but I still prefer to split it up, either one at a time or two at a time. It's much more enjoyable and productive for all of us.
With 12 kids how about - hand me downs then go through each kid’s clothes and make a list of what is needed for each kid?
I think she not only addicted to alchohol but I’m pretty sure she’s addicted to shopping as well. People like her have addictive personalities. She always has to have something addicted to so she feels whole.
She's said her own self that she's on Adderall as well
@@Lyssa0095 and she washes it down with a claw which you NEVER do
No common sense. My sister is exactly the same way. Grocery and just shopping. 🥴 these type of people literally suck the energy and life out of you. Chaotic with no accomplishment.
As a child it's hard to pick out ur own clothes we have no sense of fashion they needed help it's cringy seeing them just craving guidance
I’m pretty sure one of the twins picked out a woman’s Nike tank top, the swoosh was flowers, but no one was attentive enough to tell him it was a woman’s shirt.
@@coffeepeachesplans what does baby formula have to do with this genuine question?
@@coffeepeachesplans why have you responded this to multiple comments? 🥴
@@ileneglenn845 nothing wrong with wearing what you like - just because someone put a sticker on it saying 'for girls' or 'for boys' doesn't mean you have to comply with that. Especially when you are a kid.
The kids need guidance with fitting, quality, and what to shop.
@@sisuguillam5109that’s not exactly true women’s clothes are cut differently to fit to you know women
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Josh losing his mind over this insane isht so that we don’t have to? 😂😂
😅😂
Who knows him anyway? She does alot of the parenting!
i couldn't even eat my breakfast i was literally choking with all the snarks
The white claw thing is simple math.. she buys 3+ cases of white claw and only 1 little coffee canister for the week... there's no way she's filling that huge tumbler 3x a day with only coffee all week.
She looked healthier in some of her older videos as well. Her face has thinned down a lot now and looks different, reminds me of the people you see smoking outside a bar.
Oh no no y’all….. she’s done with White Claw cause they won’t sponsor her! She is now on Corona seltzer drinks
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Does her husband drink coffee, and if so, from home? I think that would make an impact on coffee usage as well. I have nothing against drinking but not everyday, all day, around adopted children easily and children with FASD is mind blowing to me.
You are so right! I did not think about that....good one!
I didn’t know I needed to hear you playing guitar ❤made my day! 😂
I'm a florist..a manager at that..and during Valentine's day and mother's day we have a lot of extra help that we bring in and without fail there's always someone yelling my name every minute to ask a question (sometimes the same question multiple damn times). And every damn time I wanna pull my hair out and scream because I am only one person and I've got tons of other things that I'm focusing on other than answering questions that other people can answer. I would not be able to handle wrangling 12 kids in a store saying mom, mom, mom, mom over and over again. I love kids don't get me wrong, but I don't want 12 kids! I would go nuts.
I was really bothered with how even mom would look at the shirts on the tables and mess them all up. I swear, the employees are spending hours cleaning up after the family.
Hahahahahaha loved the song!
You could see some of the kids needed & wanted one on one attention. Bree and some of the younger boys kept asking her to look at things & seems like they weren't getting full attention they craved. Would have been better to take 2 or 3 younger ones at a time and bonded/enjoy the time. Often seems like kids are crying out for parent time & they could then better understand choices, money, budgeting etc.
Yes, it would be so much better for the kids with just a couple of them at a time. Plus she’d have multiple videos to make money from, not that I want to give her ideas.
I feel the exact same way. It's also time to take as a bonding experience. They needed her and she wasn't even present. I would think that time and attention would be incredibly beneficial to these kids.
She sucks as a mom... None of us are perfect, but she is awful on so many levels! These children need a good mom more than most ... Not stuff!
I noticed the 11 year old girl in the background looking extremely unhappy in the background shots also.
@@LisaSmith3663 Zoey is ALWAYS miserable!!
The randomness made me INSANE!!! No parent in the world shops like this!!
The trip was so scattered and hectic. She wants the kids to pick literally anything they want, but gave zero guidance of what they should look for . She could of at least told them they each need to find 5 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 sweaters etc, some kind of plan for them to keep everything making sense and organized
Can't wait for this one, I saw about 10 minutes and the shopping trip was complete chaos. Had to shut it off. Kids of all ages just wondering through the store on their own, picking whatever they wanted.
This is just gross! This is totally for content. Their last big shopping spree was supposed to be for back to school where each kid was told 3 outfits or something like that. They spent that money there and then ordered a bunch online and now this. She's teaching these kids terrible things. She needs to be teaching them how to help; others instead of only helping themselves.
They got rich fast and they can go poor faster. This youtube thing will only be short term and then what will she do? She's creating a bunch of spoiled and greedy kids. Good luck to her when all her kids are throwing fits because they don't get the massive shops anymore.
@@coffeepeachesplans Who said anything about baby formula?? I’m pretty sure that doesn’t have anything to do with back to school shopping. I’m confused.
Well said Angie I think it's a bit insensitive to flash the cash like she does knowing that most of the world is finding life hard at the moment
@@lindaritter1343 It definitely is. That's all the more reason she should be donating money and items to others and get her kids doing it too.
I was a poor single mom of 2 who raised my kids on my own. I'm thankful they're both grown now because I don't know how I would be able to get everything they needed and some of their wants with todays prices and shortages. People are going to grocery stores with some items not available so either they have to pick an alternative or go without and then we have people like her who buys an insane amount of stuff that could be shared with others or left in the stores for others to buy. What makes it worse is a lot of that stuff will never get used or will go to waste. It's very selfish and greedy!
I am not jealous or feeling bad for myself because I can't shop like her. I'm disgusted by it and would never want to be like that no matter how much money I had. Kids appreciate what their parents give them more when they're not just given any and everything.
@@angieburns6241 well done Angie you should be very proud of yourself I bet your kids grow up better then her kids. One day those kids are in for a shock. I have noticed that there are a few people on TH-cam like her showing of there big houses or huge kitchens. I live in England and I am always amazed how much food some people store its like they have little supermarkets in there basements
@@lindaritter1343It's crazy how people can accumulate that much of a stock pile. I think it's good if it's actually getting used. I do like watching the videos of peoples stock piles but always wonder why they need to store that much, especially when they're doing regular shopping trips.
One of the twins asked if he had allowance to buy a toy. She said no. Meanwhile one of her biological children got at least 3 expensive toys abs another biological child got an expensive toy. She also received a large teddy box of toys from Beverly Hilla Teddy Bears. She let her youngest and biological child open everything. Then the child was scooping it all up so no one could have any. There were enough toys to split between several.
Yes, Harlee was given so many stuffed toys I thought the thing to do was donate some to an organization. That’s not part of Alicia’s plan, it’s to get more for her.
I noticed that as well Nicky and the boys (twins) looked to me anyway like they had a fear each time they looked at dad whilst making pizzas (maybe warned to behave I don’t know) but just all seems a bit off to me lol round
The lives were really eye opening to me. Yes, there is a clear difference how she treats bio vs adopted kids (besides Alex). I can't believe more people can't see it.
I have noticed this on several occasions. Unacceptable behaviour. I feel sorry for the adopted children, all of them
@@Susanjoc That one bothered me as well. It was addressing to the family. She allowed the youngest to open and take it all when some of the others would enjoy it.
I'm here for the random songs 🔥 🕯 🎸
i HATE how hard she’s making the transition for dayshawn & neveah’s mom when the kin ship
One of my biggest concerns I have is the two kinship placement kids she has. I wonder how hard of an adjustment to going back to their own family may be. Like they’re going from being allowed to buy anything to maybe a more normal way of living.
You said it. They are being wasteful and greedy.
that song tho! it was amazing!
Josh you make me laugh so hard. I nearly spit my water out. These kids are going to grow up materialistic , ungrateful and entitled. They're just learning that wasting food and binge spending is okay.
They’re also all going to be morbidly obese with diabetes since she is teaching them these habits young!
@@missld6856 Yes I agree with you. they eat a lot of sugery and process junk.
I was having a rough day, and you started singing. I have tears from laughter now! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!!
I hate back to school shopping. Its expensive and wasteful. I usually shop the clearence before they get the back to school signs up.
Smart thinking!😁
I see if I can use stuff from the year before (I usually can) and then I buy stuff if I really need it!
When I was in school we did buy some school supplies for the coming year. But we certainly didn’t get a whole new wardrobe. We’d buy a few items as we grew out of them or they were handed down from the older kids. This mass spending just seems so insane and wasteful to me.
Yess and the thrift store
I thought I was the only one ☝️ 👍 yes and thrifting for sure!
I'm so flipping pumped for your parody!
Love how she checks prices……when we know cost means nothing
Dad you are 100% right with your comments
She’s giving these kids material things when they need love and help with what got them there. She isn’t helping she’s hurting
Oh my God. She has to be SO unhappy. I do a little retail therapy here and there too. But I can’t imagine going to those DEPTHS of spending money that could be saved for their kids’ college!! What if they filmed a video about doing family chores together and putting large chunks of change into savings funds? Maybe they could write some of that off too! At least it would be a little more original.
I'm surprised she didn't just order all matching outfits for everyone, the same outfits for every single school day, with their names on the front and back!
WT-ACTUAL-F...oreo triplets? Never heard that from her but OMG, NO!!

I'm in Ontario, in the next few weeks it will be cold. The kids start this Tuesday. I still buy them a few summer outfits for thr first month of school. It's nice to have new outfits for the first week, at least. Then I'll go through their fall clothes from last year and see what fits, and grab some new stuff after when it's needed 🤷♀️
Okay, what the actual f?! I don’t even buy myself a lot of super expensive perfume. And I always wait until I can get the 20% off at Sephora lol.
Jesus man. These kids aren’t being taught anything about the value of money 😑🤦🏻♀️
Is anyone else waiting to see what they get for Christmas? I can’t imaging the money that’s going to be spent.
@@coffeepeachesplans because I’ve already purchased 95% of my Christmas presents so I don’t have to worry about it. 👍🏻
I feel so bad for the employees that have to refold all those shirts the kids and her messed up! I used to work retail it sucked when families like theirs came in!! She even said in another video they were supposed to get fall clothes because it’s going to get cold!! If I did my math right she’s going to get at least $840 in kohl’s cash $10 for every $50 spent!! Will she actually spend it or let it expire?! Can’t wait to see Christmas!!
I have already seen this video of the back to school shop…and I just wish Alicia would of put the camera down sometimes to help the children find their sizes etc….and to just let them pick whatever they wanted regards of the price is just madness, would be a good idea to give them a budget each given their own amount of money to do their shopping. Maybe if they could of done the shopping in 2 halves the parents would of had more time to spend helping them out. 😁
I did feel sorry for the staff of that shop they left a right mess
Linda Ritti: Yes! Very disrespectful!
@@Gizzy7837 I couldn't believe it when she let the two older one's have two bottles of perfume they don't need that .it was really expensive as well
My mom worked and still found time to take us shopping and split us up. She took my sister and I together (we're 17 months apart and we were always close in sizes). Then she would take my brother. We got her attention, and she was able to make sure we got what we needed. Took her two trips. Not hard.
You HAVE to see her videos on Christmas shopping it’s INSANEEEEE she spends almost 12,000 and at that time she only had 10 kids
Can’t find any Christmas vids, now that be worth a look lol
@@AllThingsClarice just type in Dougherty dozen Christmas and you'll see a few videos. They are really shorts. I think the total on the one was over 16,000
Then here’s my little family not knowing if we can buy our kids diapers or keep our electricity turned on
She reminds me a lot of Kate Gosselin. She lied to the world so she could make money off her kids backs. She was horrible to them and then it ENDS! Most likely not well. Those poor children.
Yes!!!
The kids are having fun and taking full advantage of the shopping buying/choosing what they want. They are new clothes not hand ne downs, good quality, so shouldn't be a problem or anyone else's business. You think Alex is unhappy because he has a new jeep and living the best years of his life playing high school football, and teenage years. They are all growing up and doing things the kids otherwise couldn't do in other families.
@@kellyrenee9679 It`s not anyone elses problem.The worry is ,what happens when the YT gravy train grinds to a halt?
yep, Kate is struggling now. back to nursing full time.
Yes, she reminds me of Kate too! We all know how that family ended up sadly🙁
I never, NEVER bring all of my kids shopping with me (I have 4). After having three I started online shopping or shopping when they are at school. The anxiety of the possibility of one of them going missing or just not listening to me is enough for me to never bring them 😂🙈 just thinking about shopping with 12 kids makes my blood pressure spike
I have 2 and I don’t bring them with me 😂
We shop online too. We've got three kids. I add things to the online cart and I pick up and have the kiddos help unload the car. We have grocery positions so each person doesn't have to walk back and forth 😹
@@alliemille smart! We do the same 😂
I absolutely love the straight-up rage and irritation radiating off of you throughout this entire video 🤣.
My parents would give us $200 and I thought that was so much! But a quality pair of jeans cost $50-60 when I was a kid. So I'd have to budget my tshirts and PE clothes. Was good responsibility
We had to go to jcp when they had the jeans like 2/$40 or whatever 😹😹
Also taking this many kids to shop at once would put my anxiety into over drive. There are child predators everywhere
Hahahahaha. You are hilarious 😂 😂😂. And so right on with the DD. I’m a new subscriber here and discovered the DD a few months ago. Fried my brain about how much money she blows. These kids have no responsibilities at all. They lose clothes constantly. She is such a hot mess and I love I found someone who calls her out!! Must not be carts here, unlike Walmart where she goes through 3-4 carts buying junk food. This is so damn funny. Love it!
She probably used Kohl’s cash too smh I think she’s pumping these kids for endorsements. 😤 She makes a point to say Nike and Walmart. Like begging for a deal. 😒
I tried to screen shot it and zoom in to see the kohl's cash she earned...its normally $10 for every $50 you spend ao I think that's about $900 in khols cash minimum!!!!!

@@mycircusmymonkeys7867 good eye 👏🏾💕
@@sarahweld4533 me tooooo!!!!😍
She’s buying these brands at the most expensive stores. I find Nike and under armour adidas Jordan at stores in the US called Ross and DD’s discounts really cheap
She doesn’t even look at prices. She spends 4 grand every time they shop and doesn’t even care. Wait until you see how much she spent on perfume/ cologne at the Sephora counter! They even bought items that weren’t clothes. It must be nice to spend and not worry about a budget! She spent over 4 grand at Dick’s a few weeks ago for sneakers. WOW!
Granted I do not have 12 children but I have five and fixing to have another one and it’s pretty easy for us to go to the store for school clothes and shoes and drop a couple thousand dollars and my kids get to pick what they want what they like but I’m obviously double checking sizes I’m not letting them go buck wild because I know in another couple months they’re going to have outgrown this shit and I’m going to have to be shopping all over again so it doesn’t pay when they’re at a growing stage to spend so exorbitantly I mean yes I spent $370 on custom Nikes for my son he plays basketball he wears them out he’s old enough now that he can wear a shoe for longer than a few months without outgrowing it and I work very hard to be able to provide those things for my kids and it’s not at the cost of our future either it’s not taking money out of our savings this family should be concerned because they can’t do TH-cam forever and ever this gravy train is going to run out and one teacher salary can’t support 12 kids in this lifestyle to which they have become so accustomed. Especially if she gets canceled like she should
And then puts it out there What she wants viewers to buy for her.
I’m new to watching them and found this through the channel. I understand these people must make a killing but how are they spending an entire salary per week?! She’s spending thousands a DAY. I just don’t see how they are able to do this.
Since I started watching her, I have often thought, I hope you r saving. Bc this will not last a life time.
This is so disgusting. Spending money like it’s going out of fashion. No control of the children. I had to cancel my food shop this week as I needed petrol and had to add electric so didn’t have enough for all three!! Dinner tonight was toast 🥺🥺 Dinner tomorrow will probably be cereal
Stay strong 💪
Just because you can't afford something means that she shouldn't spend HER money on her children??
I'm sorry you're having a hard time but she works for her money and shouldn't be criticized for it.
@@jamiehoward3151 shut up
@@jamiehoward3151 🤣 stop it! She works?! You mean she exploits her kids for$$.
Big problem!! Alicia has stated that she for sure (I think Josh too) are both on ADDERALL. A huge problem when you consume any alcohol.
I live not far from them and its definitely pants and hoodie weather most days, and if its not its going to be by the time they grow out of those shorts(2-3 weeks)
I shop at the same Wegmans that Alicia does... they had to set ground rules with her for her to be allowed to continuing vlogging there (my friend works in the cafe there so I have a little insider info 😂) She has to come between either 6-8am or 10-12am when the store is least crowded. She has to inform them IN ADVANCE when she's coming. She cannot have her camera on anyone and certain areas of the store like the pharmacy and restroom areas are banned completely. They had to put guidelines in place because customers AND staff complained about her camera. I can assure you the managers are not fans of hers... But remember they're a business and they have to make money so turning her away is a loss to them. They compromise... I think it's fair BUT I've definitely seen customers in her vlogs.. she plays it close to the edge. 🤬
Josh, I love you ! 😂
I lived in Rochester for two years about 8 years ago and we had SIX FEET OF SNOW because of the lake effect. I cannot even imagine buying summer clothes in august. Insanity.
I also wanted to touch on the name brand thing. Not really in this video but the overall. A lot of people who donate to shelters, schools who give to underprivileged families etc, usually donate name brand clothing. I’m not sure why but from personal experience I’ve seen this a lot. Possibly off season, very discounted items.
Thrift stores around me are full of name brand clothing also. I got a 100 percent cashmere sweater for a buck also. People like her buying stuff that never gets used and then gets donated. Hopefully gets donated on her part.
Born and raised in Rochester..as I got older couldn't stand the snow anymore...moved to Florida
@@LisaSmith3663 I sure hope it does too.
I live right outside Buffalo and we get a ton of snow. I admit I bought my son some shorts to start school so he looked nice for the first month when it is still warm
Josh, you need to video your shopping haul as a tutorial & write-off!
