Dougherty Dozen Christmas Day Part 2 | Nana The Destroyer 

Say what you want to say, Nana knows what's what. She walks in and starts barking orders, telling the kids to pick up after themselves and help with chores. She does more parenting in an afternoon than Lush does in days or weeks.

imagine being a grandparent, living on retirement and fixed income, and buying allll 12 kids several gifts just to see them act like complete a-holes with no gratitude.

James bio parents buy him a heartfelt meaningful gift, and the way that he responded with genuine amazement "where'd you get this?' - nailed it bio parents.! That's Christmas spirit right there, it's not about the cost, it's about appreciate and loving on your people.

Grandpa spent a month sorting the kid’s cards??😭😭 That is so heartbreaking. I want to thank him on the kid’s behalf 😢 That was so sweet of him.

man he looked at the spoon for longer than he looked at all the gifts alicia gave him combined

James reaction to that actually heartfelt gift of a personalized wooden spoon speaks volumes - the rest of the kids unimpressed by $50,000 worth of gifts vs his sheer joy over that spoon - it says a lot.

Zoe is gonna be the BIGGEST whistleblower when she moves out ! I love her lollll

I am just baffled at how poor Harlee speaks. She’s 4. I have a 5 year old. Why is Harlee baby talking still? Lusha is really stunting that child’s development. It’s not healthy.

Throwing the gift at James PISSED me off. He is SOOO sweet. Why is he being treated like that? She nicely handed all the other children their gifts but when it came to James she threw it and hit him IN THE FACE!! She didn’t even apologize they just laughed instead my blood was BOILING.

Josh and Alisha are like the parents from the original Matilda movie.

Zoey is a “real” one…she has no filter, and I’m here for it…she tells it like it is. James is too sweet and too polite for this group. Bree and Patrick crave the love and attention they so richly deserve, and that’s why they are always smiling and are so happy, but Alicia and Josh are too dense to realize it.

I get it, nana is loud but at least she’s interacting with each kid and giving them each their moment. More attention than Alicia has ever given them.

I love Nana! Nana is a classic northern grandma. Loud, direct, takes charge, and likes there to be order in the house. Kids need structure and they aren't getting it from Alicia.

you must have skipped the part where Bree said thank you without being asked to. you could see how grateful she was. we all need more kids like James and Bree

Alicia & josh are around the kids all the time & it took James's bio mom to get him something that actually meant something & was related to an actual interest he has, he really seemed touched by it 🙂

My heart breaks for James. That spoon meant way more than any other gift he got. He felt heard, recognized and appreciated. Things that Alicia always preaches but never practices. I just know he is such a big hearted kid that’s absolutely aching inside. That present being thrown in his face stung even though he played it off. I can tell Bree and Patrick are good kids too. As far as the other kids go, none of them cared an ounce what they got. Its so common for them to get these expensive things that it’s just another day. All around sad situation.

Zoey has NO FILTER and I’m here for it 😂😂😂

I just love how nana actually gave each child their own time interacted and loved them!

The dogs seem to absolutely adore James. Dogs are excellent judges of character. That kid needs more love. 💗

Alex was such a jerk to James while they were opening gifts with Nana. I feel so bad for James. He really seems like a sweet kid.

James breaks my heart. He just seems kind of lonely. 😞 I hope he has at least one good friend. Glad the dogs love him the most though

Zoey fucking kills me 🤣 What a great gift from the grandpa, though. Much more thoughtful than most the other gifts

I love the fact how Nana makes them open each gift one at a time lol

I’m just devastated at the lack of joy!!! The look on my 8yo’s face after opening her presents this year as she shouted “I got so spoilt this year, thank you everyone!” 😍😍 The joy, and being grateful! It made me so proud of her and reminded me of the magic of Christmas 💜💜💜

James wanting to get a job and start working now makes me wonder if he is formulating an exit strategy to escape this family when he comes of age.

When I was 15-16, now 24, I wanted a huge full length mirror closet doors for Xmas. My family has always been well off, so my sister and I always got what we wanted. So, Christmas rolled around that year and I didn’t get the mirror doors. I got so many gifts, I think including a laptop that year, but I was livid pissed about not getting the closet doors. I had no clue they needed to be specially installed, measured properly, and probably cost so much money. I remember crying and being so mad at my parents - eventually getting yelled at to shut up about the doors and be thankful I got anything. Although I didn’t understand at the time, even when told to be grateful of the other gifts I received, it took me years to realize and learn this lesson. Today, I tell my family if they insist on getting me anything, get me a $10 Amazon gift card or just take me for McDonald’s one day. I tell my boyfriend he could get me a diamond necklace or a dollar cheeseburger and I would be no more excited for one than the other. Although I can say that, I genuinely mean that from the core of my soul. I’m blessed to have people who love me enough to take care of me, material gifts are a bonus. I will never forget this life lesson that humbled me so much. I feel guilty still for giving my parents such a hard time.

I felt bad for Papa when he tried to do something special for the twins by organizing those cards and they acted like they couldn’t care less. Actually, they acted mad about it. So sad.

James is seriously one of the most thoughtful of the kids I've seen. He reminds me of my big brother. Quiet, smart, thoughtful and kind. It hurts my heart to see him dismissed.

You didn't notice but Bree did say thank you alot about NaNa getting her monster dolls , she was super appreciative and wanted to send her friend a picture of them.

As I watch all the missed opportunities for teaching and parenting moments, I realize I am a rock star mom! 🤣🤣

Someone needs to remind Alex that he, himself, was BIG last year. Why the hell are you laughing so hard about how big James' sweater is?! poor kid.

That spoon was probably the most thoughtful and meaningful gift opened that day.

The most well mannered child in that household by far is Bree - they didn’t show it in this video but whenever I’ve seen her on a live unboxing or any of that type of thing she is always SO polite and gushes her thank yous. I can only presume this comes from her earlier life and not life with the DDs but it’s truly a pleasure to witness. Side note; I have nephews and nieces who, much like these kids, weren’t raised to use their manners, never instinctively said thanks for their gifts nor were prompted to etc - so I stopped giving to them. I was prepared to explain the reason if ever asked but they too receive so much shit they nobody ever noticed. Manners cost nothing and mean so much - I hate hate hate seeing kids acting ungrateful, just sets the tone for the kind of adults they will become and it’s so sad.

Given James'genuine reation to the spoon and Alicia's general disposition - I wouldn't be suprised if she *accidentally* uses his engragevd spoon when cooking and ruins it.

You fast forwarded over Bree with Nana, but she is very thankful for her gifts. She’s a doll

So telling how the dog just smothers the kids with so much love. At least these kids have those dogs. 🥲😞

My son jumped up and hugged his grandparents after every gift he opened! I didn’t even have to remind him! He was genuinely thankful! That makes me so grateful and proud!!

James was so choked up by the thoughtfulness of that spoon ❤

James is the sweetest, most caring boy

As loud as Nana is, she seems to be on one of the only people who seems to truly try and understand them and get them something meaningful. She also at least tries with each of them to instill SOME manners.

Wow, the moment when James’ bio mom tried to give Josh the present and he just ignored her to keep playing the video game. That’s shameful. Alisha and Josh are a perfect match.

The way Alush opened those wallets spoke to me... It's exactly how those kids react when getting a gift: "a wallet.... Thanks?" Then just tossing it to the side? If that's all I got as a response I would not get someone a gift again😂

James is an amazing kid,his bio sister got him a great gift that he can have as his mantra

You didn't catch what Dash said with the presents from Nana and Papa. He was completely ungrateful and was mad that he didn't get as much as Harlee. Worth the rewatch.

I always feel bad for the grandparents of these MASSIVE families, imagine having to buy 20+ gifts with low income and being confronted to the fact that your present will never be as good as an iPhone or a 500$ pair of shoes

out of all the fancy presents and reactions, it is so telling that the most heartfelt reaction was James receiving the wooden spoon from his mum.

Nana is loud but I quite like her. She insisted the kids open the presents one by one and actually take a minute. She also put more thought into the gifts than Alisha did. She really seems to parent the kids a lot better than Alisha does.

The wooden spoon that James' family got for him was such a sweet gift. You could tell how much he loved it too. Too bad Alicia had to ruin it by butting in, and filming it instead of letting James have that moment.

The sad thing is is they aren't the only kids being taught an unhealthy mindset of materialism. This is how shopping addictions, bad attitudes, and unsatisfied lives start.

When James got hit in the face that really did upset me. As someone who was bullied by my family and laughed at, I just internalized it and to this day it affects me.

James is the sweetest kid ever. He truly appreciates his gifts ❤

Nana is annoying, but she's trying to make it fun for the kids. I feel sorry for Grandpa working so hard on that. You know he was expecting like a hug and WOW THANKS! Poor old guy.

My kids didn't get alot of presents for Christmas, but oh my god they were excited and I had tears in my eyes watching them jumping up and down and being so cheerful and happy. That's whats Christmas is all about, the magic, the joy and seeing your kids happy and thankful.

props to grandpa who said "you aren't gonna look at it??" about the present he put together.

I actually kinda like nana. She seems to be the only one that holds the kids accountable

21:00 I literally am laughing so loud at the vacuum part. Josh you literally killed me ☠️☠️☠️

The twins absolutely do not appreciate anything they have. It’s so sad. Josh, I have a similar memory of when I got my first Nintendo , we did not have a lot of money and I was probably the last kid to get one but when I did it was amazing! Best Christmas ever! It makes me so sad to see these kids get all this stuff and not even appreciate it.

I wonder if it registers with Lush at all that James’ bio mum got him a fairly inexpensive gift…but it was genuine and thoughtful and he had a lovely reaction to it. Does she have any idea it’s not about money.

Harley is the only one taking the time to look at every present she got. I hope she stays that sweet!

The kids just throwing the gifts down and not saying thank you was so grinding to me! My parents would have been so disappointed in me.

My hubby and i got stuff for his nephew's 3 kids. They did not appreciate anything we got them. Which were some kewl stuff. The next Christmas came. And they came over to get their presents. We didn't get them anything. They got mad and left.

I had to rewind the nana comments several times. I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts. "Nana!! Indoor voice!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She told Zoey to say thanks because Zoey made that really rude remark to Nana and Alicia got an unexpected attack of embarrassment 😂.

If I would have snatched my present my mom would have taken it back and said I cant get it back till I can be respectful. Just crazy how ungrateful

I swear she put the vacuuming part in just to rile you up Josh 😂

I don’t know if it’s because I’m sleep deprived, but I lost it when Nana said, “oh oh oh, no, WRONG” “COME ON MUSCLES PULL” 😂 omf

At least Nana spent time on each child and created some excitement and magic for each of them at Christmas. And they put thought into each gift for them, such a shame the kids cant appreciate it. The spoon gift for James from bio family was so genuine and loving. What a sad, chaotic Christmas!

I taught my 3 sons to thank everyone no matter what! Even if it's something they already have just say thank you and move on. So everytime my youngest son opened a gift no matter the occasion he'd say "oh my gosh thank you I love it!!" and his manners and kindness have carried through to adulthood. Alicia is going to regret not teaching her kids all the valuable things that children need to be taught from their parents. PS - Gotta love Zoey ❤️

I love when papa turns down his hearing aid lol I'm with him, especially with loud grandma here

Poor, poor James! He is a sweetheart! James, Bodhi, Naveah, Zoey, and Patrick's sister need counceling and big hugs.

I love taking that deep breath after the snarking! I say out loud thanks Josh! You’re so worth it too!!! Happy holidays you nailed it!

I guarantee Oma and Ompa started talking mad shit the very instant the front closed behind. Probably so happy to be leaving. German grandparents are not about the flex believe me. I am positive they are disgusted with this whole scene.

How she reacted to James’s gift hit his face shows the type of person she is…that poor kid. His reaction to his bio moms gift showed that these kids just want something thoughtful and not expensive.

I’m laughing so hard at Josh watching her vacuum 😂😂😂 I was wondering why she recorded that too!😂

You missed where Dash was like( how come Harlee got way more presents than me?) not a thank you from him either:(. If you go back Bree was so excited for her gift , so excited and said thank you. Honestly if my Christmas morning looked like this, I would 100% cry, this is terrible 😢

Now, I am not an excellent homemaker by any means. I frequently have dishes just piled up in my kitchen sink and won't sweep for days. But I consider my home somewhat clean. My MIL (who we lived with for about 3 months) has 3 kids and several animals. Her home always smells like pee, floors are dirty no matter how many times she mops or sweeps, and everything is just a bacterial breeding ground. She told me one day she just stopped worrying about cleaning. Like she literally gave up and only would do the bare minimum. She spends most of her time outside never doing housework. Her home always has roaches and mice. She just moved into a new home a few months ago and this new home has the same infestation as the last one. It literally drove me nuts to live in a grimey home for 3 months. I know she was helping us out while we found a house but my husband and I were literally relieved when we closed on our house. I say all this to say. There is no way 14 people live in that small house and the dirt isn't piling up. We only ever see Lush clean in the kitchen or do laundry. Maybe wipe down a table for a party. No way she has time to clean and I highly doubt she hires someone. And Josh isn't helping her. Maybe Alex or James are, but it's not the older kid's job to pick up after their younger siblings.

That spoon is what Christmas is about not the money being dumped into it. I took every other Christmas with my kids and we did a old fashioned Christmas where you made each other gifts, and I can tell you my kids still talk about those Christmas times in great memories. It's not for everyone but it taught my kids to appreciate each other and helping less fortunate.

Yeah I know nana is loud but she gave thoughtful gives and gave the children attentention which is lovely what they don't get from alicia

I got bit by bed bugs at great wolf lodge when we went to Wisconsin Dells

Nana absolutely boils my annoyance. I can’t imagine how the kids feel actually interacting with her since just listening to her has me in a foul mood

These kids seem to get SO excited when gma & gpa arrive - I’m guessing it’s because they actually spend quality time with them & create some sort of balance! Looking back at my own childhood, I’m so grateful social media didn’t exist!

I found the nana makes them accountable as in having manners and actually looking at the gifts she gave them with her hard earned money. They are spoiled she sees it and I think tries to teach them manners etc.

Our family is loud too. Comes from having deaf relatives that are part italian.

I have a friend from high school that says our kids should hang out. I never say yes bc of the way she speaks in front of her kids. At her daughter's birthday party her daughter went up to one of the kids there and told them they needed to shut the f up before she beat their a**. The little girl is only 3 years old. Hardly knows ABC's but can cuss like a sailor. All of the adults (except me) laughed like it was so funny and it solidified to me that my child will not be hanging out with her kid. I don't cuss and definitely don't cuss at my kid. It made me so mad that none of the parents corrected their child's behavior. Just laughed so she'd keep being disrespectful.

You are strong You are beautiful Josh: You are drunk 😂

I'm cancelling my great wolf lodge trip right now. My fiance also agrees and we can go somewhere else. They need to stop.

Just found this channel and OMG the commentary is gold!!!

These grandparents have such a hard time buying their grandchildren anything that they should appreciate. It has to be so heartbreaking for the grandparents.

30:00 That was such a thoughtful gift for Papa to do that!

I once saw a comment on a video saying that Alisha looks like she smells like hot dog water and now it’s all I can think about when I see her 😂😭

I thought it was sad when James opened his shirt and everyone laughed at how big it was. Very sad to see him laughing at himself and no one correcting that.

The spoon for James was the epitome of priceless. Like, I even feel like I received a gift. Wow.

Pretty sure I heard a "Thank you, Oma" from James

Wow. The lack of "home training" (the lack of respect, acknowledgement, appreciation, compassion, etc) that Josh and Alisha are not teaching these kids is crazy.

Just saw the thumbnail of their one million subscribers celebration video and they all wear a "be kind" shirt lololololol.. like what? 😂

😂 Your reaction to her vacuuming was exactly what I was thinking!!

Haha thanks for always making me laugh. I feel like she’s extremely hung over in this video.

Did you guys notice that she stopped showing all the medication and vitamins she giving her kids? This used to be her morning routine.

“Nana you son of a b****” “uncle buck” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 💀

At 17:25 Josh literally had me laughing so hard I woke my husband up & hes like"" your laughing at DCP again right? 😄" Me:👋 yup sorry!!😬😄" He is so naturally hilarious without even trying too 😄😂🤣
