I’m an elementary school teacher and some kids talk my ear off. Since watching your channel I can now recognize that no one listens to them at home. This is the perfect example. Josh, know that today I will put my stuff down, share a snack, and spend my break talking with a few kids who just need some extra time. This mom is in the same room and not listening or engaged. How sad.
She's distracting him, derailing his process where he would likely be very competent, then using the situation to point out what she views as mistakes, causing more distraction. My mil does this exact thing.
One of the worst things a person can do is not fully listen when someone is talking to them...especially their own child! That's psychologically damaging!
Her kids are getting chubby now. Her diet is not good for them. My kids can’t eat out of main pot. Even savings left overs in a big dish you don’t want the saliva or end up with food poisoning
When James said to Alicia you need to use a dry measuring cup for the macaroni and not a wet measuring cup, because that's what he has learned in his culinary class. She just dismisses the comment. She's setting him up to fail. In my opinion she knows what she's doing. Because Alicia cannot exist unless everybody is dependent on her. Oh, BTW I checked the dictionary for the definition of narcissist and Alicia's picture was there. Just saying.
Alicia is so Condescending and Demeaning to her kids. She doesn't teach them any life skills and then gets frustrated when they dont know anything!!!!🤬
James obviously loves cooking and has ambition. It's awesome that he found something he loves and wants to learn more. Yet she's so mean to him and sounds like she has zero faith in him. She doesn't even listen to him when he talks. And my god, let him do what he needs to do! She's so controlling. Way to be unsupportive of your son, Alicia. She's so awful.
If you watch the entire video she posted, you see that everything you said is correct about James loving to cook, BUT he really asks her a ton of questions and needs the help. He burnt the entire first rue entirely (which happens) and she was like “no biggie, we’ll just wash the pan and start over.” And she kept stressing any doubts/mistakes were because he was so used to making this in a huge portion. Downsizing it was not the easiest for him. Josh doesn’t show that she has to read and explain most of the recipe to James. There is a lot that was edited out. That’s all. If you see the actual video, your opinion may be very different.
@@Cait928do you mean the wooden spoon across the boiling noodle water or when she is talking about adding Butter and Flour in one step and cook 2 Minutes? 😂
@@sky-ms3eb I do agree with that… but, it’s a learning process. Hopefully between classes and some help at home he can learn and be more comfortable in the kitchen. He is extremely motivated! Once he gets the basics down he can start expanding. I think with time and instruction he can be great.
It’s so sad because if that were Dayshawn or Alex- she’d be laughing and cracking jokes .. but with this sweet sweet child- she’s almost disgusted and board mixed with embarrassment with him around. She can’t stand 9 of her 11 children
I hope it doesn’t cause them trauma when they’re older. The way she treated James in this was so sad. He’s such a good kid, she should feel lucky. My daughter is in culinary btw and she loves it. She’s making a career out of it, I’m so proud of her ❤
James is such a sweetheart and she NEVER has anything good to say to him, she's so damn negative with him, the only really good kid she seems to have. Great job James, you're doing a great job at being a good human and I'm proud of you.
She is so controlling it’s so frustrating to witness! she could’ve let James do this video and gave him a chance to show what he’s learned from culinary school but instead she’s got it it make it all about her and try and control everything he does in the video. It’s really depressing to watch.
Exactly!! My stepson is in a home economics class and likes to show us what he makes and such. Me and the husband just hang out in the kitchen to supervise. She needs to take a step back and let her child take the reins sometimes, kids are much more capable than she realizes.
She is completely incapable of interacting maternally with these kids. She treats them like assistants, employees. Zero warmth until she talks to the camera. Those poor kids.
ZERO warmth or kindness!! It’s all over her face how irritated she is. But when she’s alone on camera she’s super happy and bubbly. The happy Alicia is a character, THIS Alicia is the one the kids get. It’s surprising she even posted this video considering how bad it makes her look.
She has the vibes of a daycare worker or school teacher waiting for retirement. Totally outdated mindset, disinterested in actually caring for children, just does the bare minimum.
WtF is she acting like his school didn’t teach him how to make a basic Mac and Cheese… the only thing to make it not basic would be to get him good cheese to use. She makes it so easy to dislike her. “Rules” to cooking.. not cook everything on HIGH
It’s all about the cheese! I use blocks of Tillamook and shred the cheese myself. Quality products make a good Mac and Cheese. I never make a roux to thicken my cheese sauce.
Ugh I'm larger now too so watching James try to move around this log right in the middle of his work space annoyed me. Its like people expect fatter people to just deal with it. How about you move??
Gosh my heart hurts for him everytime. She makes me be a better mom to my kiddos. I go out of my way to make sure my kids NEVER feel the way she makes him feel. And it's so obvious. I hope he knows what an awesome kid he is.
Ikr. I remember one time as a kid I was having a crying fit over something and I yelled to my mom she didn't love me. She saw it for the reach it was and said " I love you, I just don't like what you're doing right now. " that stopped me real quick!
Poor James. He really seems like such a sweet boy!!! Not only does she seem to treat him like crap, but the poor boy is going to grow up and have health problems all because of Alisha!!! I really hope he can escape this woman and live a full, healthy, happy life!
@@LisaSmith3663 does he have health problems? Who’s his sister? I didn’t know he had a biological sister or anything about and organic food. Give me the tea, lol
The way James looked into the camera so aware when something messed up. He was so embarrassed. I hope the best for him. My nephew started culinary school in New York last year. Apparently, New York has the best program. I hope he gets in and is very successful.
She talks to and about her children like she thinks they are useless and incapable. When you are helping your kids with new skills it should be from a place of 'I know you can do this and I'm going to help you get there'. With her, it's from a place of 'you're dumb and stupid and that's why you can't do it and need help'. It's heartbreaking to watch.
@@Cait928 OK? Did I say he didn't ask for help? The help she gave was condescending, impatient, and arrogant. I think your definition of encouragement and mine are very different. Asking for help doesn't mean he needs to be demeaned and belittled.
I'm not fat shaming but she feeds her kids a very high caloric diet and I'm noticing some of the kids getting alot heavier. Alex lost all that weight and you can see he's gaining it back again. She needs to change their diet!
Yessss!! I understand some of them are at that age where they're going through puberty too so their hormones are probably wonky but she does nothing to help support their bodies.
The twins are the worst. I know it’s from their parents terrible parenting but they are going to grow up to be…awful. Alicia and Josh need to nip it in the butt now but of course that’s not going to happen.
She has been wearing the weirdest dresses for a couple of weeks now. People always ask for a cooking video from James since she is always talking about his culinary abilities. Pretty sure those people want to see James & James alone in a video cooking all on his own & what he wants to cook. Of course she couldn’t possibly not make an appearance in a video 🙄. I hope James does well in his contest w/o her “help.” Hopefully James learns to cook well so he can cook for these poor kids one day.
This dress makes her look pregnant. Like slightly bloated in her middle and puffy in the face. I know its just the white claw and poor choice of dress though 😂
This is actually sad how shes taking over. And he knows hes supposed to use proper measuring and his mom wont let him. Let him try! And mess up if he has to. Anything will be better than Alushas cheese soup anyway.
Exactly- she’s such a control freak!!!! I hope James can get away from her as soon as possible. He’s such a handsome, charming, kind young man. He deserves so much more.
He has probably more cooking skills in his young life than she will ever have in her whole life. Let him do what he feels will make it taste good because it'll taste much better than anything she will ever fix. Plus he wears gloves. Good job James. She hates when they are learning life skills on their own. Why does she seem so angry. Chill alusha.
When I was James age and making food, I didn’t have my parents breathing down my neck about everything I was doing the fact he kept his cool throughout This video is astounding because I would’ve lost and said could you leave me alone and let me do what I’m good at.
Heard that! When I was a teenager my mom encouraged me to cook my own lunch on the weekend. She said she wasn't going to help unless I had a question. She left me to do it
Absolutely it's how you learn as a child. My Mum let me experiment and left me to it but if I needed her help and asked for it she would show me whatever I needed and then step away. I loved watching her cook but she cooked gorgeous nutritious usually fresh food and was always encouraging in answering questions passing on tips etc. She was also great at baking cakes bread etc. We looked looking at her in action but she loved it when we could cook for her. Those memories of being with her in the kitchen and all she taught me will stay with me forever. I don't think these kids will have that sadly. CC
I wonder if she knows that just using gluten free noodles doesn't make it gluten free when there is flour in it. Unless she also used gluten free flour, but she didn't say that, so it makes me think she doesn't know regular flour is not gluten free.
It's upsetting that none of the kids look neat and tidy or well kempt. She spends alll that money on devices and food but doesn't take actual care of the kids.
Yes, it makes me so angry. I don't believe children need name brand things but, you can make them look put together a little better. Maybe hire a better barber/hairdresser as well. I grew up poor but my mom still made sure we looked decent.
It’s like the poor lad is too scared to do anything without checking first. It’s like he’s looking for approval constantly and it breaks my heart. I taught my son to cook for going off to university. He had a few disasters because I just hung back and only helped when asked. He’d ask why something had gone wrong and I’d explain. They need to make mistakes and be given the space to learn themselves. He’s now managing great. He still has the odd disaster but he can laugh about it now.😂
13:00 she really bothers me. shes outright humming under her breath and ignoring whatever hes saying. my mother was not so dismissive as this. this would piss me off growing up!
The sad thing is James thinks she’s doing this to showcase him. But she’s doing this bc she competes against other creators. Cough cough The Bells. She can’t stand that Heather’s kids are independent and have life skills.
@@mkultra2393 AGREED! AD competes against Mama Bell but Heather isn’t competing against her. She just lives her own life. You and I will team up bc I’d throw hands too.
This was such a nightmare to watch, Lush micromanaged the entire cooking and then the kids come in to try the food and that grossed me out so bad, how primitive can you be🤦🏻♀️ I feel bad for James and her kids need to learn table manners, big time!!!!
It is sad how she interacts with him…. He is reaching out, grasping at strings and she can only spend time with him if the camera is on and she’s still so mean. 😕 this isn’t how a mom teaches or helps a child to cook 😢
My lovely late Mum taught me to cook by leaving the kitchen and letting me do it for myself from age 10. She should have left that poor little guy to do it himself. Doing it on your own even if it goes wrong gives you confidence and life skills. How will these kids ever be independent ? All of my siblings and my dad all could cook and learned valuable skills because my mum stepped away. I am so grateful for her wisdom in doing this and thank her for my appreciation and understanding of simple nutritious meals and baking skills. CC
Yeah she just HAD to make her snack board during this. She could have made the board on the dining table and given James the kitchen space 😑 But you can tell she really wants to be the center of attention.
FYI if there's a roux(butter and flour), there's no way it can be gluten free even with gluten free pasta. But why would we be surprised by her ignorance lol.
OMG I'm working with this in the background and then glance over and Josh has the red bangs on. I about fell out of my chair!! When did that even happen!?! lmfao!!!!!
Alicia - “The kids are gonna be ruthlessly honest about your food. 😌” The kids only criticize the salt and ritz crackers which were Alicia’s decisions. Lmao
💕 I love my son better than life and I can see the joy and love you have for your kids when you talk about them. I can also see through a parent pretending to love and enjoy their kids. It’s sad James is such a wonderful young man but he’s not heard or appreciated. James, Patrick and Bree have the biggest hearts ever. I never see any hugs or hear any I love you’s. My son is 33 and I still love getting hugs and we never talk without saying I love you 💕
Shes just so... meh. She doesnt give a shit about him and is annoyed by the mere presence of her child. I hope he is able to leave when he turns 18. I hope he has a peaceful life and thrives outside of this home.
I think Lush is trying to dress like the farm wives that are becoming so big on tictok and youtube. They dress in flowy dresses and make everything from scratch...everything lush wants to be but can't because she sucks. I also noticed James putting on fresh gloves every time he had to touch any of the food, and then lush just putting her nasty hands into everything 🤢
Seriously Josh.... I need to sleep in Australia 🇦🇺 right now... but now I need to watch this. Edit: Happy Friday it's 9pm here so good morning to a lot of you 😂
@@shortie.2380 good morning 😀 happy Friday. It's 9:20pm here. And I'm staying up to watch a women micro manage her almost adult in the kitchen and is not listening to her child 🙄 Ps where are you from? 6am? Such a time difference.
I know ha ha just went to her page to read the comments on this video and they are great ha ha. Yeah right time zones get me ha ha, well have a great day.
She kinda reminds me of my stepmom who would ignore me unless she was around family or other people so she wouldn’t look bad. She was extremely mentally abusive
James is absolutely capable of doing this on his own....she needs to BACK OFF !!! The anxiety on her face is sooo telling .....she NEEDS to be in control !!!!!
She's also setting them up for coronary heart disease/peripheral artery disease. I'm 62, 5'9", 115lbs. I had surgery/angioplasty and stents, both common iliac arteries had large blockages. I learned to cook from my mother who used so much butter and salt on everything and I followed her style in cooking. My father had PAD, diagnosed at age 72, unable to walk by age 79 and they wouldn't do surgery because he had late stage COPD from smoking and he wouldn't quit smoking. He passed away age 81 from a massive heart attack after 2 strokes a few months prior. What we eat matters very much, affects our health greatly. She's setting her children up for numerous health issues. I hope in culinary class, James is also learning about healthy eating. Hope he is and changes his way of eating, starts making his own meals...healthy meals. Maybe he could teach his dingbat mother how to cook better.
Last holidays were first after losing my parents. Cracker Barrel to the rescue, both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Amazing food! So easy to pick up and warm in oven. Highly recommended if you don't have it in you to cook! ❤
Poor guy, look how disappointed he looked he got the comments from his siblings, then at the end, there's a small cut and James' eyes look red and like he's been crying. My heart breaks for James every time I see him in a video. I hope he knows he's an awesome guy!
❤❤❤ I think she is a control freak and doesn't want anyone in the spotlight 😭 so sad she would compete with her son very sad from Debbie Cahill from Ireland ❤❤❤
Lush is so controlling it’s crazy. She’s jealous that James can cook better than her so she messes up his measurements besides she doesn’t know how to cook. James is in culinary school and he needs to learn to do it himself. James would get more confidence if she left him alone and if she stayed out of the kitchen When my son was in high school ( hes’s 33 now) , he asked to make the apple pie for our family thanksgiving back then and he made everything from scratch all learning from his class in high school. It turned out so darn good. Friends and family ate it all up and was shocked he did it. Also made home made the red lobster biscuits from scratch too. I just left him alone and he did his thing and I did mine and we prepped separate in kitchen. Lush is disgusting as you can see how she raises her kids to eat from the casserole dish. That was gross Have a great weekend Josh and loved your snarks 😂❤😂❤😂😂
I’m an elementary school teacher and some kids talk my ear off. Since watching your channel I can now recognize that no one listens to them at home. This is the perfect example. Josh, know that today I will put my stuff down, share a snack, and spend my break talking with a few kids who just need some extra time. This mom is in the same room and not listening or engaged. How sad.
I’m so glad you’re going to do that❤ I have a job now that is primarily holding space with a person so they can just be heard.

Poor James. I always feel bad for him. She treats him like dirt and uses him. He deserves so much better. Poor guy.
Of course it has to be about her! Where is her damn respect?!! James seems afraid of her, I swear. I despise this loser!!!!
Amen
Plus James can cook off camera. Alicia doesn't need to film it....🙄
One of the worst things a person can do is not fully listen when someone is talking to them...especially their own child! That's psychologically damaging!
Also, when she closes her lips real tight, this is a sign that she doesn't like what she sees/hears. Look up body language analysis.
I personally believe it's a narcissistic trait, my mother is notorious for doing this!! My heart really hurts for these kids
Why does he have gloves on
Her kids are getting chubby now. Her diet is not good for them. My kids can’t eat out of main pot. Even savings left overs in a big dish you don’t want the saliva or end up with food poisoning
How much salt did she add the cheese has so much salt. But I love salt. So I would enjoy it

Kids probably vanish to their rooms to get away from her snide comments. We already hear some in her videos!
Very much agree. Probably why the kids are never around her. She’s not warm and loving to them in any way.
She hates being a mother but loves having people be dependent on her.
You are spot on. She hates her life. Period
YES. She doesn’t want them to leave her
I wonder if she knows that just using gluten free noodles doesn't make it gluten free when there is flour in it. Unless she also used gluten free flour, but she didn't say that, so it makes me think she doesn't know regular flour is not gluten free.
I was just going to write that, but I figured someone else noticed😂
Also seasonings and sometimes random cheese brands have wheat in them.. ahe truly has no idea
The accuracy in this statement 😅
No, she has no clue.
Also, she had him add Ritz crackers for a topping...also not GFree...
So she added 5 apple slices and 4 banana slices on a board for her 11 kids... 😂😂😂
That board made me cringe so bad
One lucky child will get a blue fruitloop!
@@lollymac2259😂😂😂
She cuts a banana the way Kendall Jenner cuts a cucumber lol
“Just make it gluten free by using gluten free pasta.”
…holds up flour 😂
Yeah as someone with celiac, that cracked me up 😂 most people don’t need to really be gluten free unless you’re allergic or have celiac.
I'm dead how does she not know there is gluten free flour 😂
@@maryssaann yes! My best friend is celiac and absolutely cannot. GF diet if you’re not allergic to it is not a great diet. Haha
I was thinking that 😂 and Ritz Crackers on top!
It's upsetting that none of the kids look neat and tidy or well kempt. She spends alll that money on devices and food but doesn't take actual care of the kids.
Yes, it makes me so angry. I don't believe children need name brand things but, you can make them look put together a little better. Maybe hire a better barber/hairdresser as well. I grew up poor but my mom still made sure we looked decent.
@@stenitez9724 Exactly! Target has very cute kid clothes.
@@stenitez9724 i agree, we weren't rich growing up but our hair was well cut and combed and our clothes were always clean. Fail!
I looked away for a second and then I focus … and boom Josh has bangs!! 😂😂😂😂
And he looks better in them than Lush does!!!😂😂😂
Poor kid tries so hard to engage with her and seeking approval. Big hug to you James 🤗
Yay! Love a Lush snark. Hi from Australia
She is sooooo effing Conniving!! she ruined his dish on purpose!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡EFF her and Omas recipe!! James needs to create his own!!!!
I am SO glad you are covering this one! This one absolutely boiled my blood and pissed me off!!
It’s like the poor lad is too scared to do anything without checking first. It’s like he’s looking for approval constantly and it breaks my heart. I taught my son to cook for going off to university. He had a few disasters because I just hung back and only helped when asked. He’d ask why something had gone wrong and I’d explain. They need to make mistakes and be given the space to learn themselves. He’s now managing great. He still has the odd disaster but he can laugh about it now.😂
The faces she makes every time he speaks 🤮
Her face period. Ugh a mug!!!
13:00 she really bothers me. shes outright humming under her breath and ignoring whatever hes saying. my mother was not so dismissive as this. this would piss me off growing up!
It’s been awhile since we had a snarky day with Lush!
TGIF
It was much needed!
The sad thing is James thinks she’s doing this to showcase him. But she’s doing this bc she competes against other creators. Cough cough The Bells.
She can’t stand that Heather’s kids are independent and have life skills.
She can’t compete with The Bells. I would throw fists for Mama Bell 😂
@@mkultra2393 AGREED! AD competes against Mama Bell but Heather isn’t competing against her. She just lives her own life. You and I will team up bc I’d throw hands too.
This was such a nightmare to watch, Lush micromanaged the entire cooking and then the kids come in to try the food and that grossed me out so bad, how primitive can you be🤦🏻♀️ I feel bad for James and her kids need to learn table manners, big time!!!!
Yeah my mom never allowed heathen behavior like scooping back in with a utensil. Put a serving on a plate you moron lady!
It is sad how she interacts with him…. He is reaching out, grasping at strings and she can only spend time with him if the camera is on and she’s still so mean. 😕 this isn’t how a mom teaches or helps a child to cook 😢
"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING ALICIA? ITS LOOKS LIKE YOURE GOING TO A WOODSTOCK ....... TO SMOKE WEED" 😂😂😂 IM DYING
My lovely late Mum taught me to cook by leaving the kitchen and letting me do it for myself from age 10. She should have left that poor little guy to do it himself. Doing it on your own even if it goes wrong gives you confidence and life skills. How will these kids ever be independent ? All of my siblings and my dad all could cook and learned valuable skills because my mum stepped away. I am so grateful for her wisdom in doing this and thank her for my appreciation and understanding of simple nutritious meals and baking skills. CC
Heard that, I've been doing my own laundry since I was 9
Those little house on the prairie dresses and bangs aged her 20 years old
They can’t wait to eat it cuz it is hot. They have never eaten hot food. Only cold pre-filmed cold food.
She zones out when her kids are around. She is not present at all. I feel bad for James. He is so sweet.
I hate how she acts so annoyed with him in the room. Just let him do it and get out the way 😂
Yeah she just HAD to make her snack board during this. She could have made the board on the dining table and given James the kitchen space 😑 But you can tell she really wants to be the center of attention.
FYI if there's a roux(butter and flour), there's no way it can be gluten free even with gluten free pasta. But why would we be surprised by her ignorance lol.
WHY, is she trying to be like Mama Bell? She can't cook. Who is she trying to teach????
At cookimg?
@@sarahweld4533 at least sheeasures.everything properly and her food looks edible
@sarahweld4533 yea MamaBell is becoming fake and obnoxious. I just meant Alicia copies everything MamaBell does
Mama Bell's soups, ribs, and steaks look like what heaven would taste like ❤.
She was getting slammed on ig for the video. More negative comments there than YT. It's really sad how she treats James. She doesn't deserve him.
The ironic thing is that she claimed that it was a omas famous recipe, but I got the same recipe of the Betty Crocker website...
That’s fucking hilarious. Doesn’t she know people check this shit
It is precious that James keeps saying "mom"...
OMG I'm working with this in the background and then glance over and Josh has the red bangs on. I about fell out of my chair!! When did that even happen!?! lmfao!!!!!
Question: Is this the same stuff she made in the crock pot that one time? Soupy cheese. OMG, these poor kids are going to have a tough time in life.
Alicia - “The kids are gonna be ruthlessly honest about your food. 😌”
The kids only criticize the salt and ritz crackers which were Alicia’s decisions. Lmao
When you cut and came back with the red hair 😂😂😂😂
I just said the same thing 😂😂😂
@@shortie.2380 I lost it!!🤣 😂
💕 I love my son better than life and I can see the joy and love you have for your kids when you talk about them. I can also see through a parent pretending to love and enjoy their kids. It’s sad James is such a wonderful young man but he’s not heard or appreciated. James, Patrick and Bree have the biggest hearts ever. I never see any hugs or hear any I love you’s. My son is 33 and I still love getting hugs and we never talk without saying I love you 💕
She needs to take lessons from Mama Bell on how to teach her kids how to cook!
I’m glad you chose this video to Snark at.
Another great video from you Josh. Thanks👍🏻
It truly makes my day when Dougherty Dozen is being snarked on a Friday. What a great way to start the weekend, thank you Josh!!
IS IT CONTROL OR SABOTAGE!!!!????? WTF ALICIA LEAVE JAMES ALONE!!!
Shes just so... meh. She doesnt give a shit about him and is annoyed by the mere presence of her child. I hope he is able to leave when he turns 18. I hope he has a peaceful life and thrives outside of this home.
Kitchen is so gross and ill equipped for all those people cramped in a tiny house!! She's so dis likable 👎😈 she clearly can't stand James😔
I think Lush is trying to dress like the farm wives that are becoming so big on tictok and youtube. They dress in flowy dresses and make everything from scratch...everything lush wants to be but can't because she sucks.
I also noticed James putting on fresh gloves every time he had to touch any of the food, and then lush just putting her nasty hands into everything 🤢
James is such a good kid. Slusha is little drunknon the prarie
James is aware you should cook with gloves in some cases. Basics you should know so good for him
@@Melissa-dn5kd drunk on the Prairie, can I use that lol
😂😂😂@@Melissa-dn5kd
@asarishepard8171 I agree, I'm glad he's learning food and food safety, we all know he wouldn't learn any of that from lush.
It’s her snotty facial expression that get me. So hostile
She never lets him shine. I told him good luck. She's a horrible person.
As someone who lives in close proximity to them... if she snaps I'm DONE for
💣💥🌋
What a nigthmare of a mother!poor James!!!!She looks mad and her voice is awful!!!
I love James wearing a glove while cooking and she's touching everything and eating while preparing the food...
Hi from Athens Greece...happy to be here..!!!
I hope James can get away soon and live on his own. Get a nice job in a restaurant. ❤
Seriously Josh.... I need to sleep in Australia 🇦🇺 right now... but now I need to watch this.
Edit: Happy Friday it's 9pm here so good morning to a lot of you 😂
Good night to you! 😅 where I am, it’s 6am😅
@@shortie.2380 good morning 😀 happy Friday. It's 9:20pm here.
And I'm staying up to watch a women micro manage her almost adult in the kitchen and is not listening to her child 🙄
Ps where are you from? 6am? Such a time difference.
@@biancadoust8141Hahha! She’s so rude to poor James!😢
I’m in the USA, western part of it. ☀️
I know ha ha just went to her page to read the comments on this video and they are great ha ha.
Yeah right time zones get me ha ha, well have a great day.
It’s almost midnight where I am (QLD, Australia 🇦🇺)
She kinda reminds me of my stepmom who would ignore me unless she was around family or other people so she wouldn’t look bad. She was extremely mentally abusive
Goodness he's a big dude! He reminds me of my little brother a little bit. I bet he gives good hugs!
He’s a gentle giant. I bet he does give great hugs!
my heart breaks for J man hes such a good kid he doesnt deserve this none of them do
James is absolutely capable of doing this on his own....she needs to BACK OFF !!! The anxiety on her face is sooo telling .....she NEEDS to be in control !!!!!
Why is she humming when he is trying to talk to her? SMH!! So sad she won’t let him do it himself 😢
It’s a shame how much weight James has gained in the last couple of years and his chances of becoming diabetic has increased by 75%.
I’m not a health nut by any means, but omg I cannot believe the amount of junk she brings into that house, it really should be a crime.
I honestly have no idea how there isn't atleast 1 child in that home that isn't already diabetic.
@@its_ghost_btw_997 it is crazy honestly, all that junk food is absolutely ridiculous, and the amount of “snacks” they need in that house.
She's also setting them up for coronary heart disease/peripheral artery disease. I'm 62, 5'9", 115lbs. I had surgery/angioplasty and stents, both common iliac arteries had large blockages. I learned to cook from my mother who used so much butter and salt on everything and I followed her style in cooking. My father had PAD, diagnosed at age 72, unable to walk by age 79 and they wouldn't do surgery because he had late stage COPD from smoking and he wouldn't quit smoking. He passed away age 81 from a massive heart attack after 2 strokes a few months prior. What we eat matters very much, affects our health greatly. She's setting her children up for numerous health issues. I hope in culinary class, James is also learning about healthy eating. Hope he is and changes his way of eating, starts making his own meals...healthy meals. Maybe he could teach his dingbat mother how to cook better.
He eats to push down emotional abuse.
Last holidays were first after losing my parents. Cracker Barrel to the rescue, both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Amazing food! So easy to pick up and warm in oven. Highly recommended if you don't have it in you to cook! ❤
The kitchen is bothering me so much, put away ur damn dishes and organize ur counter UGHHHH
So much clutter! The only space for him to use is taking up by her and the stupid board. She moves at a snails pace with those snack boards.
Poor guy, look how disappointed he looked he got the comments from his siblings, then at the end, there's a small cut and James' eyes look red and like he's been crying. My heart breaks for James every time I see him in a video. I hope he knows he's an awesome guy!
Thank youuu!
Love it she said water boiling,James says its ok mom its just water!😃
Thank you for this, I needed to laugh this Friday 😂
Alicia is trying to lower his self esteem. She wants to control and ruins everything on purpose. She is such a narcissist.
❤❤❤ I think she is a control freak and doesn't want anyone in the spotlight 😭 so sad she would compete with her son very sad from Debbie Cahill from Ireland ❤❤❤
She’s mad he’s in the kitchen and knows more than her
GOOD LUCK IN THE COMPETITON JAMES!!!
I went back to watching her again after watching your podcast. I watch yours when I need some comedy. We all need that some days.😂
It's sad because he has arrested development. He looks to be 17 but acts 11
You made my Alexa play "Mmmbop" throughout my house and my family was very confused lol
She is so annoyed at him being in "her" kitchen 😂
Happy freaking Friday cracks me up every time.
Lush is so controlling it’s crazy. She’s jealous that James can cook better than her so she messes up his measurements besides she doesn’t know how to cook. James is in culinary school and he needs to learn to do it himself. James would get more confidence if she left him alone and if she stayed out of the kitchen When my son was in high school ( hes’s 33 now) , he asked to make the apple pie for our family thanksgiving back then and he made everything from scratch all learning from his class in high school. It turned out so darn good. Friends and family ate it all up and was shocked he did it. Also made home made the red lobster biscuits from scratch too. I just left him alone and he did his thing and I did mine and we prepped separate in kitchen. Lush is disgusting as you can see how she raises her kids to eat from the casserole dish. That was gross
Have a great weekend Josh and loved your snarks 😂❤😂❤😂😂
She treats him like he’s NOT in culinary school
