I'll be brutally honest, I've watched Alicia for a few weeks now thinking it was so mesmerizing how she's a parent to 12 kids thinking she was doing great, but after watching this video here, my thoughts have changed COMPLETELY. I agree with everything you've said in this video 100%. The overall lack of privacy is insane! Her showing every inch of her house, her kid's rooms showing all their dirty laundry, feminine hygiene products left out everywhere, toys scattered, and house totally trashed, it's wild to me. Thank you for speaking out about this. Hopefully more people come from her channel like I did and now realize how dangerous this is.
I wondered how many people watch because it's like the worst train wreck that you can't look away from. Everything about it is literally a train wreck. It's like a terribly filmed reality show. And we know how many people watch those. What's the likelihood that's why she has the view counts and following she has? It can't truly be because people admire her, right?!
Some of the teenagers seem depressed, quite a few have weight problems....She buys total trash for them to eat which really, really makes me worry for their mental health ALOT more. Having annorexia in my early 20s and now being a bad binger and not being able to look in the mirror I know how much a bad body image can effect a Child and then adults and these kids deserve ALOT more care and attention regarding what they're eating...many have come from a traumatic backround and this on top of it is a VERY worrying thing that can go badly wrong especially as she either doesn't know or care.
@@msjujuz266 just sad watching the over weight teenagers ,they will be morbidly obese in a few years with self esteem and coping problems ,Alicia doesn't care while the money is just raining down on her .
Shows used pads on the bathroom, diaper shopping… all for content. I don’t understand how she can edit other parts of the videos like when that small child has a meltdown in the store… but she won’t edit out other things. She’s a disgusting person
My mother is a Narc & once took photos of my messy room as a child and had them developed to embarrass me. I’m still salty about it to this day. It’s going to damage them severely.
The fact that she’s showing the outside of her house… ANYONE could find that home now. Also the school bus… it’s so so so incredibly dangerous. I can not believe it.
If my kid was on that bus I would legit lose it on the county about her. I'd literally snap and probably go to her house and have a chat. Her not caring about the privacy and safety of those kids is absolutely atrocious
I am a childcare teacher and let me tell you there is one thing that is crazy to me: the amount of parents that don’t PARENT. Some of them are great. And some of them refuse to tell their child no, ever, so anything.
I'm a teacher assistant for a Reception class here in England, ages 4 to 5 , a very well behaved class but there are a set of twins that you can tell they are always told "yes" to whatever they want.
Agree! I've said several times their home doesn't feel like a home/parent child relationship; it feels like a childcare center, a preschool, I was closer to and more involved in my Montessori preschoolers lives and families than this woman is with her own children!
Her teenager and 12 year old have been banned from TikTok multiple times for sexually inappropriate material. She's definitely not parenting these kids!!!
I think dayshawn was banned since he's 12 and the min age is 13 I think, and since he had a big account it got noticed by tikok rather than small accounts ran by 10 yr olds
She is supposed to be setting an EXAMPLE FOR THESE MORE THAN BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.... ALCOHOL IS DEFINITELY NOT SETTING AN EXAMPLE... SHE NEEDS TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY ..DHS WHERE ARE YOU
As a child I was taken from my chaotic home. My new home had structures rules and boundaries which I needed and craved. I never knew what bedtime or eating dinner together was. I'm so much better for it and so grateful. Also, she's not settling them up for success by folding and doing all of their laundry, cleaning up after them etc.
It breaks my heart to read so many comments like this on these videos and no one Is stepping in from RU-vid protecting the kids safety or privacy. Family vlogging shouldn't be allowed anymore. There is NO way for a child to be able to articulate the effect of family vlogging and how it could affect their lives now or in the future. One of the biggest jobs of a parent is to protect and create a safe private place for the child. I'm also sorry you went through that but also grateful you got helped.
I’m so glad I don’t have this woman’s life. That house is ugly and chaotic and wasteful AND they have no privacy to top it off. The words “yummy mummy” and “kiddo”needs to be made illegal. Just sayin.
100%! She'd be painting it! How does it get that bad without a parent noticing? Also did you catch the fact that her mom is coming over to paint it?🤔🤔🤔 I see A pattern here. I can't believe before she blew up on social media that Alicia was a house cleaner!
With one oft her adopted kids she wasn't that patient. This kid hat to build her own stuff together to learn respect. Her bio daughter can destroy things and the granny fix it. Welcome in Alishias world.
So glad you're talking about this. I was appalled at all the info she shared about her kids and their schools 😳 does she not think about their safety or she plainly doesn't care??
I wouldn't doubt it if she did it on purpose so that one of the kids have something traumatic happen so she has content aside shopping and cooking. Sad
@@helenmchugh4632 she has had the safety concerns politely pointed out to her at first,you know just incase she was indeed that stupid. Josh works in a school and she worked special Ed ffs, so they should be aware of safety policies!? Then maybe want to review her behaviour and implement that into their oversharing videos???? You know ,edit,don't overshare the children's personal information.....
We have 7 kids in our family. We had a toy room. That was the only room that was really messy, and that got cleaned up once a week. And NOT by our parents. We had to help clean the house, and the yard.
Dude I laughed so hard at Bodhi sat at the table in Christmas pajamas and said he wasn’t going to school and everyone was so chaotically getting ready around him and he just chilling watching breakfast is a whole mood.
When I first watched this video from her the other day, I quickly noticed how cold and lifeless she was while waking up the twin boys, and then she scrambled over to wake up the “third twin”, her bio kid, she was so affectionate and happy with him. Came off really bad in my opinion.
@@lindsayb1329 very much so! Anytime they speak she just totally ignores them, but continually praises Bhodi and interacts with him. Idk if she realizes she’s doing it or not, because it looks so obvious and bad on camera in the videos. I though for sure some fans would call her out on this one.
So then she gave the twins a better birthday than Bohdi to show off to their biological family for sure. Because I seen that Bohdi her 3rd biological child gets treated as a second class citizen compared to the rest of her children for some reason. She also favorites Alex which is not her biological child, but I feel that's because the views he gets and his compliance to make videos with her all the time.
First of all, I love the one liners Tyson put in! I, for the life of me don’t understand why she starts cooking foods like sausage two hours before the kids are even going to eat it. We all love to wake up and have some cold, dry sausage. Seeing the way the kids just throw their stuff around their rooms and the bathroom just shocked me. She goes and cleans up after her teenage son, who is fully capable of doing it himself. When I was a teenager the last thing I wanted was mom mom cleaning and snooping around my room. Not only was I expected to clean my room, I was in charge of my own laundry in 6th grade. My mom always said that I needed to learn the responsibilities of taking care of myself, that one day she wouldn’t be there to get everything done, and this was my time to practice while she was still there to help me when I needed it. My step mom babied my brother so much that she was still shaving his face, doing his laundry, and clipping his toenails when he was 17. He went to college completely naive, constantly calling my parents to ask things he should’ve already know. I know that Nevaeh was given over 2,000 in presents for her birthday, you can’t throw gifts at them and expect everything to be okay. She needs a parent to invest time and energy into her, not a Play Station 5. When she picked up that Whiteclaw I immediately remembered the how my stomach would drop when she came out of the store with that brown paper sack. I knew that in a few hours the woman who was a good, loving mom would disappear into the bottom of a bottle, and chaos would soon follow. Shame on her for drinking like that around kids who were born having to fight for their lives because of an alcoholic mom. All of this just makes me sick, and I don’t know why people find it so enthralling too watch her do everyday things, barely even acknowledging the camera, helping her make hundred of thousands of dollars. It’s time to put the camera down and focus on your kids, and not share everything with the world. I love the snark! Thank you for the things you say at the end of the video. Some of us need to be reminded that people do need us around.
her house is legitimately overflowing with stuff. look at the kitchen wall with ten million things piled up. it’s clutter on top of clutter because of her hoarding/shopping addiction. i cannot even begin to imagine the bugs in the garage pantry or the clutter in the places she hasn’t shown us on camera….wow. ☠️
Here are some things I've picked up on: According to Alisha all 6 adopted kids have fetal alcohol syndrome and it interferes with decision making among other things yet she turns them all lose in retail stores to destroy everything while they ramble thru trying to pick out their own clothes. I get confused myself trying to find sizes and matching outfits. These young kids just grab something off a rack just to have something. I've never seen her being affectionate either.
gotta be nearly impossible to give the amount of attention each of the 12 kids need. The kids will suffer in the future. I could see a Gypsy Blanchard situation happening in the future sorry to say just these kids are all going to be messed up and they’re resent her for telling thier very personal medical histories that never were her story to tell
Funny, I was a “wine mom” and all of my friends enabled that. I look back now (I’m 52) and I now realize how wrong it was. However I have two daughters who do not drink. I ask them all the time what I could have done different and I apologize for the mom I was then. They tell me that they didn’t know I drank. They also say they wouldn’t want it any other way. That doesn’t make it okay. I live with that every day and the guilt that comes with it is awful.
I can’t stand the normalization of drinking to deal with your issues as a parent, especially moms. I’ve never been a drinker, so I exercise to handle the stress and unwind. Does loads better and sets a better example for my son.
Guilt , is from the enemy to keep you down & pressed. Still ur joy . Forgive urself don't waist anymore time . Shine and be the mom & if grandma u always wanted to be . Do things tht u missed out on. Like for example Baby books for ur grand children or even children and give it to them for special occasions. Look up scriptures on forgiving urself and guilt. And post them around ur hike especially over ur bed & on ur bathroom mirror!! I'll say a prayer for u. I understand..
The point is you changed and they didn’t notice so obviously you were a functional drinker and still a great mom we do the best we can in the moment and of course there’s times we could have done better but also nobody’s perfect
I love the Dougherty Dozen videos so much. I get a good laugh AND some good life lessons. Absolutely love your videos Josh, don't ever stop making these. They make my day. When I get a notification at work you've posted, I get so excited to go home and watch these with my dinner!
I saw an article on Facebook that was talking about this channel. It said “As far as I can tell, this channel is just a woman bragging about feeding her children junk food with a side of fruit” 😂😂😂
Naveah refused to be on camera when she first came but after they did an unboxing video of all the kids getting the crap off their Amazon wish lists she got more comfortable on camera.
I remember seeing it in her comments people gushing about how much Naveah "has opened up" since coming to live with the Doughertys. I think the words they're looking for are "has been bribed."
I don't even share these details on my private Facebook that is only for my close friends and family because wtf. I could NOT imagine giving this much information to a large, public platform.
I've got a cousin who never learned to do chores because his mum did everything for him. She still does everything for him. He's 27. I don't think he even knows what a washing machine is. So, good luck with that, Alicia.
Why are the oldest ones not setting an alarm to get themselves up? 🤦🏼♀️ I wouldn't spend my days cleaning up after 12 kids when they decide to trash the house like that. They'd be doing it the second they walked in the door, if it wasn't done before they left. Nope. She needs to get some serious help, in many forms.
I think it’s hilarious that she now has a new clock and shows her coffee cup with a clear cup just to show you it’s actually coffee!! 😂😂 and you said my name way too many times in this video hahaha I’m not happy we have the same name right now
Did you notice she also films “one on one time” with the kids now? And it basically consists of her buying them whatever the hell they want/need. Lol she’s so full of it.
Did you also notice that she went in the normal doors instead of the ones she used to in every other video? So many people were saying that was a employee only entrance.
@Courtney Marie...No this time she only ran into Walgreens pharmacy... I'm pretty sure she's still feeling entitled enough to use the special Wegmans entrence.
My grandsons, who are 8 and 12, load and unload the dishwasher. Do laundry. Keep their rooms clean. Clean up after meals. They’ve been doing this for over 2 years. And, no, they don’t get an allowance. Enjoy your snarks.🙂
As a person that grow up in foster care it's crazy, I don't feel like this is appropriate by all means, no respect for the children and their privacy, or even how they treated but sadly this happens more than you'll ever believe even off camera and even worse I do not agree with one thing these people are doing with Foster children and adopted children I can share some really crazy things about foster care I grew up in the system from age 4 to 18 year old , I can't wait for my book to be released so people honestly understand the the effect and trauma of being in the system I'm going to tell all , this is sick and I'm glad someone is trying to do something about it, thank you
What do you think about how she has cameras inside every bedroom of the kids ? Seems just setting them up to have trust issues and the lack of privacy is so unhealthy for them
She's damaging all of the kids, including the 4 biological kids. The daughter that did that to her bathroom door is a bio kid that is clearly crying out for attention at the very least.
My nieces were in foster care for a bit and if their foster mom had put their faces out for the whole world to see, I would have lost it!!! These kids deserve to be protected and have privacy.... Even if they are ok with it now, they may not be later...... So wrong and EXPLOITATION at it's worst!!
All the kids are adopted except the last 2 Naveah and Dayshawn which are her best friend's children. Naveah goes to see her older brother and mother. Dayshawn seems to stay there.
Most of them aren’t in foster care though ..they are adopted so she gets to make the decisions …but yeah ..I wouldn’t be sharing my kids lives like that 😢 That’s why I don’t have a YT channel myself…refuse to put my kids on it
I USE to think she was a good mom but before I even seen your channel. I wondered about some of the kids not getting attention from her. All of the paper products are ridiculous! Her food never looked good to me and it's the same darn pumpkin chip shit bread every week, and I have always wondered what the hell Josh does to help her with the kids. So thank you for putting her BS out there so everyone well everyone with a brain can look at this from a different angle it just reinforced my concerns!!
My kids are 7 yr old twins and a 9 yr old. All boys. My kids have been helping me around the house since toddler hood. They can vacuum, do dishes, take out trash and clean their rooms and make their beds. Among other things. They arent over worked but they def help me out when I need it. I'm a single mother and I work. You're so right Josh, the kids could and should be helping.
Even my youngest two year old daughter cleans up more than these kids and helps with chores around the house. it's pathetic how lazy, irresponsible and spoiled these kids are being raised to be. They should be embarrassed...
Josh....responsibility! She puts their bloody toothpaste on their effing toothbrushes,ALL of the kids! She has a martyr complex or is so controlling...but this doesn't add up with the state of the house....
my heart hurts for their mother. she’s going to have done so much and worked SO hard to get her children back, whole time they’re both gonna be miserable bc she won’t be able to shower them w all these gifts for no reason, the way alicia does. and to me that just shows her true colors. she is a SNAKE 🐍 an absolute snake.
I didn’t know the husband’s name was Josh and wasn’t looking at the screen, thought you decided to roast yourself randomly on the middle of this video🤣🤣🤣
There is no way here in Western Australia that someone whose house looked like that ( and I understand it is just messy) would never be approved for foster care or adoption. There would be concerns over lifestyle habits being/not being taught.
This is the only criticism I don't agree with. I think the teen dresses like a teen. My friends with parents like this literally would have a change of clothes at school.
OMG, u are soooooo right about the phones at 10! My granddaughter was given a phone at that age and needless to say it was taken away within 4 months . She is now 13 and she now has a Gabb Wireless phone that only allows regular texts and phone calls. She can take pictures but they CAN NOT be sent via her phone. It looks like a smart phone but it isn't! Just in case u ever decide to check into it for your daughter. 🤪
My daughter has a Gizmo I can call her and her dad along with grandma. If she doesn't answer after so many rings I can answer for her and hear everything on speaker.
I just got my son a gabb phone. It's really all they need. I don't care if everyone else at school has a phone or social media. I don't even know when I will let him have social media. He is 11 and in junior high
for to buy white claw like she does knowing her kids have fetal alcohol syndrome is messed up. i can understand if she had a drink every once in a while on special occasions or in private when her kids were not present, but to delink it in front of them constantly is fucked up. she may be a parent but does she care all at about anyone besides herself? my heart breaks for those kids.
They all told her they had a great day but if some of them didn't, would they even feel comfortable telling her if they had a shitty day for fear that she would talk about it on her channel?...
I feel so bad for the teachers of these kids who have to deal with them never having been taught responsibility or picking up after themselves in their lives …. As if having 30 kids in a class isn’t hard enough already …. Also, I can’t believe her 10 year old daughter ruined her door like that and she is so casual about it as the parents, my parents would ring my neck for destroying property and then remove the door
I actually called the school district where her kids go, she showed it clearly when the bus came. They were very disturbed! Also I told them the one kid told Alusha I met my best friend today on the bus and gave this innocent young boy his complete full name!! First full middle name and Last name!! Alusha didn’t cut his name she’s so pathetic!! I live 13 hours from pathetic Alusha. I just knew I had to something!
I live 30 minutes from this family. From this video alone I could tell you her address, I could follow all these children on the bus to there school. From some of her other videos I could watch her live with her “amazing” shopping hauls at wegmans( cause she literally has shared the store number she goes to and tells us when she’s there every week). If i wanted i could LITERALLY go watch her sons play football and even know there jersey numbers. I know exactly what car her oldest child drives, and where she does laundry!! it’s soo freakin scary! i’m scared for her kids!
I really don’t I understand why she’s proud to show the disaster her house is. She doesn’t have 12 toddlers at home. There is no reason for this giant mess other then the parents not giving them any responsibility.
I think they were told to leave that mess because she said "people think I don't do anything all day. This is what I do" She has said before the kids do have things they have to do in the house. It's all for show to make her look like supermom.
@@floralbouquets there is no way she is cleaning all the rooms especially with the teenagers. She has some type of system with the laundry and keeping things picked up.
They have no regard for basic internet safety and her stans see no problem with it. She's shared their address, bus and school district, son's license plates multiple times. She also had two stans stop by and could've set boundaries, but nope seemed to love being tracked down and praised.
The husband of that family was my teacher in 5th grade. They used to be nice, but recently they have just been adopting kids for views and aren’t parenting well at all
She puts the kids names on their bookbags and lunchboxes. Um doesn't she know the police warn parents NOT to do that. Predators will have a field day. 🙏Nothing happens to the kids. She has no common sense.
This showed up in my feed today… you would think they would have a system down or organization closet to keep all that clutter down. The whole house just seems overwhelming. The entryway should have only what they need now, for today, this week. Why the winter coats? It feels awful to live in messy spaces. Your personal room might be organized chaos but the communal family spaces should be at least clear enough!
Well considering where I live in Ontario, Canada, much of the school work is done online while even sitting in the classroom, covid has excelerated the use of macbooks and phones in the classroom. So teens need the device. Gr 9 is a good time to give a cell phone. 16 is a little late considering in the states it's perfectly acceptable to recruit kids to the US army at 18, even though they can't drink till 21. So can't have a cell phone till 16, can die for their country at 18 but can't drink till 21.
Why does she not even think of these things. It’s been raining tons here and I don’t have a dryer so my teens underwear are hanging everywhere around the house drying …my sons friend came over and I ran around grabbing all the underwear so their friends wouldn’t see..because it’s embarrassing for them. And yet she posts it all over the internet 😢..it’s horrifying what their friends at school must say😢
What Josh likes or dislikes, believes or doesn't believe, eats or doesn't eat, what he does for himself or his family in his spare time, should NOT be an issue. The way they decorate their house is also a non-issue. It's just the high amount of money spent on superfluous things, snack buying, expensive brand named clothes & items & general wasting that happens while bringing up lots of kids who are not learning responsibility. I don't know that she realizes the ramifications. It's basically about her. It comes across that she thrives on being admired as a mother & praised for her days looking after a large family with issues & busy household/parental duties.
No structure, appreciation or privacy. I’m disgusted at the waste this family goes through, shame on them. I would never show my home on line cleaned, much less filthy like that, gross. There are major issues there and they need to go back to reality like many families actually are. Shame again on her!!!!!!
I laughed out loud when you talked about the home alone with just you and your lover 😅 My hubby and I, unfortunately, are empty nesters now 🥺 As sad as it is not having my kids at home anymore, we definitely take advantage of being able to do whatever we want, where ever we want, whenever we want😆🎉🎉
