I grew up incredibly rich, the crap she’s buying is nothing like what my parents bought us for Christmas. It’s the quantity, the waste and the lack of thought. I have gifts from my parents from over two decades ago still because they were thoughtful and meaningful and showed love and care. This just gives me anxiety. I am personally not rich, and I buy gifts the same way my parents did for us - it’s about the thoughtfulness not the quantity. This is how you destroy kids.
I didn't grow up "rich", I was born in 1980 to two successful parents in the fashion industry, so I grew up very comfortably middle class; yet my most extravagant (& very treasured) presents were a Cabbbage Patch doll and a Super Nintendo to share with my 3 siblings. I'm so grateful for my parents not spoiling us too much and I did the same with my 3 boys.
I did too...I grew up in the 80’s in Miami very rich father and he bought us MEANINGFUL gifts...2-3 things each (3 of us) and we traveled and LEARNED ABOUT LIFE with the rest ❤️
Imagine having $20k (conservatively) of merchandise in your vehicle and leaving it in the parking lot! My friends have had their windows broken just for having change in their front seat!
Well said. Unfortunately I don't think this woman will never change. Where does she get all her money, from the state for having the foster kids? We have three adult children but we didn't get them their first cellphones until they were 15. I know we're terrible parents making them wait that long. 😆
Children need things. This is spoken like someone with no children. Your kids don't have toys to keep them occupied. You're getting exactly 0% of your daily agenda done. And no I'm not talking about a nintendo game box or Samsung ipads
Most people don't post every present they are buying to the internet because....you know...the recipient of the gift has access to the internet and can see it! Doesn't that ruin the magic and surprise of gift giving? She could have at least waited to post this video AFTER Christmas.
my mom used to always buy me socks and shit for christmas when i was little. i hated it at the time and wanted to get other things but now as an adult, i would be so excited to receive socks and shit i need!
I love when you said “if she had gotten the Sprinter van full of gifts stolen I would’ve never stopped laughing.” Seriously who leaves a huge van filled with thousands of dollars of presents unattended?!
Gorl!! I am 43 and just got my first IPad a couple of years ago, it was a gently used Christmas gift from my Auntie when she got a new one. Still using and tresuring it to this very day!!
I’m 41, my husband got me an iPad for Xmas like 7 yrs ago. That baby is still going strong! He asked if I wanted a new one and I said no, this one is perfectly fine and serves its purpose. No need to waste $1k on a new one🤯
Her eyes were INSANE at the Apple Store like that ish was scary And it kills me she spends all that money but makes the WORST hot cocoa I’ve ever seen 😭
When I was a kid, I did a list.. but it was simple things like markers, coloring books, etc. They were inexpensive and it was something my parents could afford to buy.
I seriously look forward to the Doherty family videos more than Foodie Beauty. Didnt think I would be into these videos but I LOVE THEM and I even watch the Doherty channel too.. though its much better watching Frenchie react to it.
@@FrenchFriedGorl thank YOU for making them and being so damn funny 😭 and take that CHANTEL CHANTEL.. Frenchie does NOT rely on you for her channel..your conent is nothing compared to this family lol
I grew up lower middle class in the 80ies. Everything we wanted or needed was only bought for Christmas and Birthdays, especially sports equipment etc. We were into skiing and snowboarding, so Christmas was pretty much the time to replace broken or outgrown gear and outdoor clothing. Same with other expensive things like a new bike. New clothing was purchased at the beginning of the school year. What I'm trying to say is that there wasn't mountains of stuff, but the things we actually needed and used for the next years to come.
I will admit, I spoil my kids (they’re 24 & 17), but I get them things they asked for, and they don’t ask for things just to get. They use everything. What she spent is absolutely absurd🤯 Not to mention ruining the whole surprise of Christmas morning by posting BEFORE the day comes so the kids and their friends can see it. Don’t get me started on what she’s setting those foster kids up for. I feel bad for the bio parents when/if they get THEIR kids back, how can they compete with what they’ve been getting. Mind blowing!
Sickening. These kids will appreciate NOTHING and how long until most of the things get broken or destroyed? We got $25 Walmart shoes because we would outgrow them or ruin them so why would you spend $500?? And regarding all of the electronics and games.. she CLAIMS they only get 1 HOUR of SCREEN TIME/DAY.. so what the hell do they need all the games, etc for??? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I honestly believe D & N were over all of the abundance long ago and would rather have quality time and attention!! Actually, I bet ALL of them would prefer quality time with Alicia and Josh! Hopefully she is putting away money for therapy!!!
I have a big family, so I start my Christmas shopping in the middle of the year. That way I can just slowly cross people off my list, and also not have to spend a huge chunk of money all at once lol
There’s no heart and thought behind these presents, it’s so sad. Me with a $60 budget looking to excite and challenge my kid’s developing love for art and science and Alicia spends it on HEADBANDS.
Commenting as I watch....I grew up with 5 sisters. For Christmas, we would each get 2 or 3 little gifts, and then we would get one big gift as a family. Like one year in the early 90s, we got electric battleship as the family gift. It was awesome 😂
I'm a mama of five. Oldest 18 youngest 5 and yes I can't even believe what christmas is like for this family of 12 kids BUT no way in this world would I buy all five of my kids a brand new phone or ipad... my little ones always get the older devices IF a new one is purchased or gifted. The good she could do with her money is endless although I am definitely one to splurge on my babies of I can aswel x
That's how it should be too. If a device still works, then pass it down the line. Makes kids more grateful as they get older and work hard to buy their own brand new things.
Some of these kids are getting close to aging out. What is going to happen them if they aren’t going to further their education? Is she prepared to support them for life? Serious question.
I LOVE the dougherty content. I love having something new to fume about. But I can’t help but wonder how Amber would be if she actually had a child. She would be doing over the top shopping too, we just wouldn’t get to see it. It would all arrive in boxes 😂
Glad to see you moving away a bit from focusing just on Chantal. I’ve stopped watching reactions based on her because she’s extremely boring now. I will definitely be tuning in for this new content though.
Just the thought of WRAPPING all this shit spikes my anxiety lmao never mind spending the money on it!! Wtf this is insanity, how does she function every day without burning out? I went shopping at ONE store for my 2 kids and needed a 5hr nap to recover 🤣🤣🤣
This woman seriously dropped like $20k in one day. TWENTY GRAND IN ONE DAY. Did she buy a car? A tractor? Remodel her kitchen? NOPE! She bought a bunch of JUNK. Oh my good god. I can’t even.
She definitely has a shopping addiction big time! I have 3 kids myself 12, 9 and a 1 year old and no way in hell I roll like this. Even if we were well off hell no, this is just useless spending. We don’t even spend more than 40 on shoes for our older kids.
If this were about the kids she’d be taking all this money and investing it for them. A few gifts and investments for the future. This is just plastic trash that no one will care about in a month or two.
16:00 my father always bought expensive shoes for me when i was a baby and your remark about what soes does the kid then want at 16, hits me hard as i am turning in little over a month 16 😂 But to be honest, i don't care about brands or something like that, now i will almost never buy shoes over 30/35 euro's and i see classmates buy a single jean for 70 euro🤯
This infuriated me. Not only because the state of the economy. But also, as a kid, we rarely did presents. Infact, whatever I got from people were taken and given to my cousins or any kid we had to get stuff for. Christmas was about family. And what we didn't do in presents, we did in family trips. I could never imagine spending that much money. It also reminded me of my exs family. Everyone had to get Everyone presents worth 250$ min and it drove me nuts because no one ever appeared anything
@@StellaAllegedlyConspiracy you know those families that try to out do eachother and everything has to be brand names and flashy?? Thats them. Hell, they got offended when I bought no name sour cream instead of the GayLea sour cream
If she's going to waste all that money on X-mas, the least she could do was some of that shopping in smaller businesses. People are hurting this year and she's just giving that money to the giants. Thinking of all the kids she could help that have parents that are struggling to afford Christmas this year. With just the cost of ONE of those ipads/iphones... it sickens me. Its more about giving and not receiving when it comes to Christmas. That's no way to give.
As a kid my parents put a limit on how much they would spend on Christmas. I get the fact you want to give your kids things you didn't have growing up. Yet... You appreciate what little things you do get. She is setting these kids up for failure.
I had so much anxiety watching this. Where is she hiding all this once she gets home? She better have a pole barn in the backyard with a padlock. Oy. Edit: at the end, how much did she spend for the husband and the grandparents too? You know she stocked up with those prezzies too. I need a tablet as in 💊 to calm my anxiety. 😰
Alisha is going to FLEX herself straight to the poor house. This is all for shock value and views. She’s calculated and it’s all going to come crashing down. I’m here for it.
My kids vary from 21 to 8 and more than just having things, they have the same amount spent on them. I spoil them more at Christmas because they don’t have this shit throughout the year, they have the necessities and basics daily but Christmas is special . I really take time thinking about presents for all four, this brings me anxiety and stress watching this shopping 😩😩😩
If I was an older kid in that house I would be super pissed to see the smaller ones getting same technology that they have had to wait until they are much older for . Like my youngest was the youngest (age wise) to get a smart phone last Xmas BUT it was a second hand iPhone 8. Her sister who is 4 years older I got her a newer one as she had been using an older model oppo since she was 14-15. I don’t even have the latest model iPhone , no way I’m getting my kids ones 😂. Alicia flexes in a way that she tries to make it look like she isn’t and it’s all totally normal and absolutely necessary shopping that every other ‘struggling’ and ‘average’ family does .
Missed this one sorry FFG and grinch gang 😊I’m struggling with pain I’m watching on catch up 😊missed our live chat ,which I love xx This woman is addicted! She baught for everyone,but I didn’t hear her say James name once 🤔?Also FFG regarding the kinship kids she said when they go back home they can’t take their tvs and electronics because their mom will sell them 🤦♀️how awful is that ?
I don’t believe they’re lost they’re in a pile in the house somewhere. Imo i have 12 yr old twins and if they lose something they have to earn money to replace. 🤷🏼♀️
ONE big item and then small items....omgosh this woman. How about college funds? Savings? WTH? Like you said Frenchie TH-cam won't be here forever. She is going to be in BIG TROUBLE
The smart thing to do would be to buy the iPads online but she knows this it’s like she HAS to make a spectacle out of everything she does so of COURSE she has to buy them at the Apple store. Jesus
As a mom who tries so hard for my kids to not just be driven by gifts…this video is so triggering. Yes they get gifts but we try to focus on family time, gifting experiences…not just material things. ….plus I don’t want the playroom to be totally overrun and out of control lol
So why did the kid that got the gaming laptop also get the iPad? You can do school work and play games on one device. The sad thing is the kids will not appreciate anything and if situations change and they can’t afford all this crap then those kids will have meltdowns. My kid loves video games and Lego sets as well but I don’t clear out target to get one of everything. When I was little we got the Sears catalog and I would make huge lists and I would maybe get one thing off my list- the rest was clothing and stuff my mom thought I would enjoy- and I did!
She is insane. We would get maybe one thing we asked for, and then books, craft kits, etc. Or a trip to a museum or something fun we did together! I was sure not getting an iPad! And my parents are fairly well off. If I had asked for something crazy expensive, they would have said we had to save up for it ourselves!
Exactly what I was thinking about growing up. I would make a list of things I liked. I would get one or two things off the list, with other gifts picked by my parents. I was so thankful and enjoyed everything I received. ❤
she really doesnt understand just because you HAVE the money to spend doesnt mean you should spend it all and get ridiculous amount of things for your kids. we all want to spoil our kids rotten but it comes to the point where you buy them everything and they wont look forward to anything cause they already have it or know they will be getting it..smh and they buying 12 of everything..can these kids not share ANYTHING? ARE THEY ALL GOING TO BE HOOLA HOOPING AT THE SAME TIME?
My dad bought me an iPad once. I thanked him, but told him I already had a phone and a laptop and couldn't see a need for it. I also privately would have preferred something more personal, but that was kind of my dad's thing. He returned it and I didn't get anything else. Guess what--we didn't get everything we wanted when we were kids. Gifts mean something different to us.
she has 12 children, every single one of them need to have chores. dont do your chores, ya get nothing extra but food and water. she is in the process of making monsters for society to deal with. wait till the crap hits the fan, one of them will tell what all of us watching them are thinking is going on. too many children, too many to keep up with she cant even go when she says shes going to do her laundry, its too much for one person to keep up with i understand, thats what she choose to do.
She is doing those kids such a disservice- that is not real life. We spoil our kids but that means they get to pick dinner on their birthdays and I make sure to pay attention during the year to get them what they really want for Christmas. Like one big gift. She is ruining them.
Hi Frenchie! She’s so wasteful!!! It just disgusts me at how she just throws money away like she does. I’m on disability and she probably paid more for those iPads than I get for the whole year!!!! She just make me want to🤮🤮🤮 why does a 4 or 5 year need any of that???🌺🌺🌺
Lol I got one of those keyboards for my dad's iPad and it was literally 8 dollars. Works perfectly and available in different colors as well, no need to attach them to the Ipad. (A plus to me) Mine is lavender and works with Bluetooth and would do well on my Android phone as well. I'm not sure if those Apple keyboards are compatible with every device.
I'll never get over the youngest ones getting the phones and Ipads....that's absolutely fn ridiculous...maybe because I don't even have one...my 6 yr old said he wanted a phone for Christmas and I LAUGHED and said Santa does not bring phones for 6 yr olds..........
Her logic is that the ipad gets a gift card with a smaller amount to prevent them from "spending and spending," but this woman easily dropped over $5k on useless gifts
I enjoy you covering the Dougherty dozen, it’s fascinating to watch the spending and the dynamic, and I wouldn’t watch it directly as I really don’t like watching children in videos. So this is great. I’d rather a pixelated child than Chantals bent over ass 🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣
I only have one kid, and he is 14 with nonverbal autism. All he likes is his tablet, a bucket of marbles, and a pack of playing cards. He doesn't give 2 sh*he about any other items lol. So I've never been able to spoil him with the fun stuff. So when it comes to all my neices and nephews, I'm their favorite aunt....I tend to spoil
The reason Chantal describes your attendance at her big fesshun show as 'stalker-ish' is because she finds anyone crossing the line between TH-cam and real life is perceived as a serious threat to the delusional fantasies that she constantly peddling on YT.
My friends and I still hand-make gifts for one another. We pay attention to inside jokes and the specifics joys of another. It's nice that this woman is trying to give a lot to her kids, but where is the individuality? Does she know their favorite bands? I wonder.
My goodness. I didn't even get a game boy as a child. If smartphones were a thing as a child I would have just had that...but not an iPhone. That's all I would have gotten other than socks or pj's as well. Done. I got a cheap mp3 player as a teen. I would have gotten jewelry...but maybe 50 bucks?
It's quite clear she doesn't know her children's personalities as I haven't seen her buy them clothes which is a very personal item. I know because my mother neglected me and not my brother. I'm 44 and he's 42 and she can still buy him clothes to this day (so can I because I'm close with him). I get gift cards from her or she physically takes me shopping so none of my gifts are a surprise. She's never tried though I've given her about a million clues. I seriously dislike this woman and trust me I'm being kind.
I was cooking and missed the stream!! Ugh!! Question for the gorl gang: Do y’all wrap Santa’s presents or just sit them out? I’m team wrap!! The hubs is not. Just curious what everybody does. My kids are grown now and get money but I wrapped when they were young. Santa is wrapped and I’ll die on this hill. 😂🍟🍟🍟
My husband is a sneaker head. Those shoes are expensive as fuck! Like at the outlets they’re $50-$70 but standard they’re $90-$100+. I don’t understand expensive shoes for sports. They’ll get ruined.
I’m 30 and if I do something wrong or lose something my dad will still make me feel awful haha thing is he doesn’t need to make me feel like that I always feel so bad for myself haha
Possibly hot take but I feel like it should be illegal to have a 2-parent household with more than say, 3-4 kids. After that you have older kids taking care of younger kids and the parents can’t possible have complete in-depth bonds with all of the kids equally. Makes me sad really
I grew up incredibly rich, the crap she’s buying is nothing like what my parents bought us for Christmas. It’s the quantity, the waste and the lack of thought.

Edit: at the end, how much did she spend for the husband and the grandparents too? You know she stocked up with those prezzies too. I need a tablet as in 💊 to calm my anxiety. 😰
She prob spent upwards of 30k+ 🤯 she spent about 11k on the kids iPads + keyboards ALONE!!!
Aren’t you supposed to pour hot milk over the ball of chocolate for it to melt? Not plop it into warm water?
Yes, yes you are.
French fry girl Alicia is trying to fill an empty void on the inside she needs to fill the inside with something else
True
And she is by nature unlovable, so she uses gifts as a substitute.
Woah... I could pay off my car for what she spent on Christmas this year.
Alisha is going to FLEX herself straight to the poor house. This is all for shock value and views. She’s calculated and it’s all going to come crashing down. I’m here for it.
My kids vary from 21 to 8 and more than just having things, they have the same amount spent on them. I spoil them more at Christmas because they don’t have this shit throughout the year, they have the necessities and basics daily but Christmas is special . I really take time thinking about presents for all four, this brings me anxiety and stress watching this shopping 😩😩😩
The salesmen at Apple, thought iv died and gone to heaven. Lol
Imagine if she invested half that money into stocks or something for the kids for their future.
If I was an older kid in that house I would be super pissed to see the smaller ones getting same technology that they have had to wait until they are much older for .
Like my youngest was the youngest (age wise) to get a smart phone last Xmas BUT it was a second hand iPhone 8. Her sister who is 4 years older I got her a newer one as she had been using an older model oppo since she was 14-15.
I don’t even have the latest model iPhone , no way I’m getting my kids ones 😂.
Alicia flexes in a way that she tries to make it look like she isn’t and it’s all totally normal and absolutely necessary shopping that every other ‘struggling’ and ‘average’ family does .
It looks like very little though and joy went into these gifts
💯
Missed this one sorry FFG and grinch gang 😊I’m struggling with pain I’m watching on catch up 😊missed our live chat ,which I love xx
This woman is addicted!
She baught for everyone,but I didn’t hear her say James name once 🤔?Also FFG regarding the kinship kids she said when they go back home they can’t take their tvs and electronics because their mom will sell them 🤦♀️how awful is that ?
Hey Squidgy ❤
So sorry you are in pain love, sending you all the comforting vibes!!
I don’t believe they’re lost they’re in a pile in the house somewhere. Imo i have 12 yr old twins and if they lose something they have to earn money to replace. 🤷🏼♀️
I’d really like to believe that if she doesn’t do “hand me downs” she atleast donates all of these clothes/shoes her children grow out of in 2 months.
The dad challenge podcast broke down how much she spent in this video and in the first 3 or 4 stores she had spent 13k crazy
ONE big item and then small items....omgosh this woman. How about college funds? Savings? WTH? Like you said Frenchie TH-cam won't be here forever. She is going to be in BIG TROUBLE
I’m finding myself rewatching the DD content on your channel FFG. It’s such a vibe and, not the kind of vibe FB has going rn.
Thank you so much!!
The smart thing to do would be to buy the iPads online but she knows this it’s like she HAS to make a spectacle out of everything she does so of COURSE she has to buy them at the Apple store. Jesus
As a mom who tries so hard for my kids to not just be driven by gifts…this video is so triggering. Yes they get gifts but we try to focus on family time, gifting experiences…not just material things.
….plus I don’t want the playroom to be totally overrun and out of control lol
Believe me, your kids will remember that type of Christmas long after these kids have forgotten the performative, expensive gifts she's bought.
So why did the kid that got the gaming laptop also get the iPad? You can do school work and play games on one device. The sad thing is the kids will not appreciate anything and if situations change and they can’t afford all this crap then those kids will have meltdowns. My kid loves video games and Lego sets as well but I don’t clear out target to get one of everything. When I was little we got the Sears catalog and I would make huge lists and I would maybe get one thing off my list- the rest was clothing and stuff my mom thought I would enjoy- and I did!
Lollll good point!! Nothing makes sense with this woman!
She is insane. We would get maybe one thing we asked for, and then books, craft kits, etc. Or a trip to a museum or something fun we did together! I was sure not getting an iPad! And my parents are fairly well off. If I had asked for something crazy expensive, they would have said we had to save up for it ourselves!
Exactly what I was thinking about growing up. I would make a list of things I liked. I would get one or two things off the list, with other gifts picked by my parents. I was so thankful and enjoyed everything I received. ❤
she really doesnt understand just because you HAVE the money to spend doesnt mean you should spend it all and get ridiculous amount of things for your kids. we all want to spoil our kids rotten but it comes to the point where you buy them everything and they wont look forward to anything cause they already have it or know they will be getting it..smh
and they buying 12 of everything..can these kids not share ANYTHING? ARE THEY ALL GOING TO BE HOOLA HOOPING AT THE SAME TIME?
My dad bought me an iPad once. I thanked him, but told him I already had a phone and a laptop and couldn't see a need for it. I also privately would have preferred something more personal, but that was kind of my dad's thing. He returned it and I didn't get anything else.
Guess what--we didn't get everything we wanted when we were kids. Gifts mean something different to us.
So all these kids have got to do is watch this video and Christmas is ruined. No surprises. They can watch TH-cam on their new iPhones 🤦🏻♀️
the 12 hoola hoops made me scream
12 IPADS??!!!!! This required a second comment. She could have given SEVERAL families xmas’ with all the money she’s spending on just one 😔 gross
I was thinking that would be a nice thing too. To buy for a family in need
I am loving binging all of your DD content!!
she has 12 children, every single one of them need to have chores. dont do your chores, ya get nothing extra but food and water. she is in the process of making monsters for society to deal with. wait till the crap hits the fan, one of them will tell what all of us watching them are thinking is going on. too many children, too many to keep up with she cant even go when she says shes going to do her laundry, its too much for one person to keep up with i understand, thats what she choose to do.
It's so FRESH 😁 seeing something different 💜
She is doing those kids such a disservice- that is not real life. We spoil our kids but that means they get to pick dinner on their birthdays and I make sure to pay attention during the year to get them what they really want for Christmas. Like one big gift. She is ruining them.
From what I’ve seen I’d be willing to bet Neveah would turn down all of these things just to be back with her mom. Just my opinion.
Hi Frenchie! She’s so wasteful!!! It just disgusts me at how she just throws money away like she does. I’m on disability and she probably paid more for those iPads than I get for the whole year!!!! She just make me want to🤮🤮🤮 why does a 4 or 5 year need any of that???🌺🌺🌺
Must be nice to be able to write everything off 😂😂😂
She is going to write off all of those gifts for her chaaaanel
Lol I got one of those keyboards for my dad's iPad and it was literally 8 dollars. Works perfectly and available in different colors as well, no need to attach them to the Ipad. (A plus to me) Mine is lavender and works with Bluetooth and would do well on my Android phone as well. I'm not sure if those Apple keyboards are compatible with every device.
I'll never get over the youngest ones getting the phones and Ipads....that's absolutely fn ridiculous...maybe because I don't even have one...my 6 yr old said he wanted a phone for Christmas and I LAUGHED and said Santa does not bring phones for 6 yr olds..........
Her logic is that the ipad gets a gift card with a smaller amount to prevent them from "spending and spending," but this woman easily dropped over $5k on useless gifts
I enjoy you covering the Dougherty dozen, it’s fascinating to watch the spending and the dynamic, and I wouldn’t watch it directly as I really don’t like watching children in videos. So this is great. I’d rather a pixelated child than Chantals bent over ass 🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What happens if the foster kids go home and their parents can't afford a phone plan?
I seriously doubt she would let any kid leave her house with anything of value that she bought.
Hot chocolate bombs in water is just… sad
I only have one kid, and he is 14 with nonverbal autism. All he likes is his tablet, a bucket of marbles, and a pack of playing cards. He doesn't give 2 sh*he about any other items lol. So I've never been able to spoil him with the fun stuff. So when it comes to all my neices and nephews, I'm their favorite aunt....I tend to spoil
The reason Chantal describes your attendance at her big fesshun show as 'stalker-ish' is because she finds anyone crossing the line between TH-cam and real life is perceived as a serious threat to the delusional fantasies that she constantly peddling on YT.
My friends and I still hand-make gifts for one another. We pay attention to inside jokes and the specifics joys of another. It's nice that this woman is trying to give a lot to her kids, but where is the individuality? Does she know their favorite bands? I wonder.
I think the weird vibe we're feeling is her Adderall and coffee kicking in.
My goodness. I didn't even get a game boy as a child. If smartphones were a thing as a child I would have just had that...but not an iPhone. That's all I would have gotten other than socks or pj's as well. Done. I got a cheap mp3 player as a teen. I would have gotten jewelry...but maybe 50 bucks?
I MISSED THE DAMN STREAM!!! That’s what I get for getting lost on Twitter lol😂
Yeah…white claw
I was cooking!!! I don’t do the twitter. Tik tok kicked my ass and I don’t need another social media addiction!!!!😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Kinship fostering does blur the return home time for these kids… I fostered, I know!!!
This lady infuriates me! It’s ALL for the CONtent
Why would you spend $700 on gifts when you could spend it on rent?
She makes around $30,000 a month from her social media exploiting those kids. Plus sponsors.
No
They did not lose them. Zoey had them! Zoey told Lush on Christmas Day while opening gifts.
Not the water with the chocolate🤮
It's quite clear she doesn't know her children's personalities as I haven't seen her buy them clothes which is a very personal item. I know because my mother neglected me and not my brother. I'm 44 and he's 42 and she can still buy him clothes to this day (so can I because I'm close with him). I get gift cards from her or she physically takes me shopping so none of my gifts are a surprise. She's never tried though I've given her about a million clues. I seriously dislike this woman and trust me I'm being kind.
what is she gonna do when they need cars....
I wonder if she sells a bunch of the haul items on ebay after the vlogs.
Especially the phones and ipads bought for the younger kids.
Does she buy these things like this to write them off?
That's an added bonus for sure
I was cooking and missed the stream!! Ugh!! Question for the gorl gang: Do y’all wrap Santa’s presents or just sit them out? I’m team wrap!! The hubs is not. Just curious what everybody does. My kids are grown now and get money but I wrapped when they were young. Santa is wrapped and I’ll die on this hill. 😂🍟🍟🍟
Wow what does her husband do for a living? Mine gold on mars?!
My husband is a sneaker head. Those shoes are expensive as fuck! Like at the outlets they’re $50-$70 but standard they’re $90-$100+. I don’t understand expensive shoes for sports. They’ll get ruined.
I’m 30 and if I do something wrong or lose something my dad will still make me feel awful haha thing is he doesn’t need to make me feel like that I always feel so bad for myself haha
Damn missed the stream 😕 on replay now.. just another reason to not get your phone cut off or there's no access to internet lol 😆
Possibly hot take but I feel like it should be illegal to have a 2-parent household with more than say, 3-4 kids. After that you have older kids taking care of younger kids and the parents can’t possible have complete in-depth bonds with all of the kids equally. Makes me sad really
