Did you watch her christmas shopping video? One of the kids on the bottom of the list wants the gift of spending more time with family. That speaks volumes

I also realised how lonely and isolated they always are as a family. They never interact with each other, they are islands, each one's lost in their own thoughts. It's sad.

She has referred to Harlee, the youngest, as her ‘favorite oopsie.’ Apparently she and Josh weren’t planning on having a fourth biological child. Ironic since they claimed they were having fertility issues but seemed to get pregnant after each adoption. She wanted Josh to get a vasectomy but he chickened out so they weren’t intimate for a while until they watched Suicide Squad and then nine months later had a daughter, who they named Harlee Quinn. She’s said this in a video. She even shows baby Harlee in a onesie that says ‘Favorite Oopsie.’ She doesn’t care about Harlee, poor thing has been having chronic ear infections which may lead to hearing loss if not dizziness and headaches. She needs to wake up and focus on her kids and not the money.

She has food insecurity HERSELF. It’s not the kids. She’s afraid that at any moment, those kids might want to hold a conversation with her so she has to keep stuffing their faces to keep them at bay lol

Anyone notice how the ''what my 12 kids ate today'' video she posted most recently contains a protein heavy breakfast and a lot less sugar all round??? Keep going Josh, she's clearly watching you 😂

I never thought I’d love my wife more but this morning she messaged me and said she unfollowed every mommy vlogger she followed. She watched a few of your videos with me and she said he’s so right and it’s so wrong.

I traveled to New York on a school trip. And it honestly reminds me of this. It was chaos, with a strict itinerary. These kids don’t get vacations they get school trips. So so sad to me.

I felt bad for security they literally had to babysit yet there job is to personally protect.

I used to be a follower of hers. The crazy food situation is only one reason I’m here now. I noticed they’d go on vacation, have full meals out to eat for snacks, then go to the grocery store and spend 2 grand 🤷‍♀️ like wth. Let’s have 10 pizzas for snack then go to dinner but still buy a years worth of groceries OMG

I noticed in her shopping haul today that she EDITED parts of it, fast forwarding through some of her grocery shop. Thanks for harping on her all this time about it. She finally listened to you lol

Bree is such a sweetheart! She’s very aware of everyone else’s feelings and she’s always quick to help….I hope that Alusha doesn’t break her spirit

You never see Josh or Alusha picking up Harley or hugging any of the kids. 😔 SAD

Who goes to NYC but brings snacks and then orders junk food from supermarket as well??? The whole NYC experience is eating the food there 😂😮

Harley is literally sleeping and grandma is carrying her. Why isn’t mom or dad carrying her?

The lack of coats is infuriating!

Idk how ppl watch her without your commentary.

One day, think when they were driving from the airport, she said "we're going to make tik toks and videos" not "we're going to spend some time together as a family" that tells you everything about this trip.

You called it, Josh.... James is in pain! I feel so bad for him, he just seems like an awesome caring kiddo.

All that money they spend on garbage and they tip TWO MF DOLLARS ?! Unbelievable 🤦🏼‍♀️😑🤦🏼‍♀️😑🤦🏼‍♀️

I have five adopted kids. And one day they made me cry because they exist they say as a single pBecause the day was Mother’s Day and they brought me stuff for Mother’s Day and they told me that I was both their mother and father because I was a single parent and I deserve recognition for being a mother to them also. That is true unconditional love that these kids are lacking and that is sad.

Just looked it up...per day up to 1800.00 for a mini bus that's not as big as the one she rented😳probably over 2000.00 daily 😳that's not counting tipping the driver😳

They're so sad because they've been up since 3:00 a.m. and they haven't stopped

The mindless spending and food waste makes me so mad. I had to skip lunch today and overdraw my account to buy gas…

I just want to know why she paid for a HUGE bus to drive them around all week, but couldnt get one additional hours to drive them down to NEW YORK

I used to watch the Dougherty dozen. Now I just watch you. You have opened my eyes

i wanna read joshs mind during these outings with those producers. obvious alusha is trying to get them a show or something. probably tallying up the optics of divorcing her and getting the heck out of this circus and how much itll cost, or ride it out :P

Who has noticed she deletes all hate comments and that leaves her with 70-80 comments per bideo

Patrick is always “forgotten” too. She posted alllll of his diagnosis’s on TikTok. That poor little boy is always trying to get her attention.

I had an ear infection a few years ago. It was the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been in. 10x’s worse than child birth!! It breaks my heart that poor little girl was out on a flight! The neglect from her mother blows my mind!

These poor kid's stomach...As an adult I couldn't do it. And I'm a chunky monkey. And I agree, there is no love. I'm constantly saying I love you to my kids. And hugging them. The video where they come home, she was giving the chickens more love than I've ever seen her do with the kids.

Bree is indeed a sweetheart❤ Feel bad for James his health is not a priority to Alisha and Josh so sad.

No way, Alicia's wig on the top of the Christmas tree just got me. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You can tell that Bree is craving that love and attention so bad, and it seems like she came from a pretty bad situation. But she lights up so much when she gets that one on one attention with Alusha, even if it’s just going to get her nails done.

How the heck does someone love on chickens more than their child??!!! and..how can you ignore said children when they say they are cold but yet there is not a single NEW jacket in sight??!! One can only hope that this madness will come to an end in 2023!!

22:22 the family picture where the 4 biological kids are all hold each other in the middle, is very telling. Zoey has a weird way of pointing out that they are special. The mom doesn’t even notice how rude she is to her adopted siblings

Josh was probably either sucking down lots of alcohol, eating a pot brownie, or smoking like 15 cigarettes.

Can we just all agree to sign a petition against Alicia if she gets a show? 🙃

Everytime I hear you say "Pam's ovaries" I bust out laughing. Especially when you say it serious.lol🤣😂🤣😂

My mom use to tell me and there are pictures somewhere of me looking out my bedroom window as my dad leaves for work and I was crying all the time. I was a daddy’s girl. Am 58 and I still am! ❤ My dad still tells me he loves me sometimes just out of the blue. 😊 My mom and dad were strict but we knew they loved us. I miss my mom so much, she passed away in 2011. 😢

Wait until you see the video when they get home and she goes out to feed the chickens and she hugs and cuddles one of them.

Jon and Kate plus 8 should've been a lesson learned. Those children paid the price because there mother thought it more important to make money off circumstances that they had no say. Then she had the gaul to say to the public that they aren't affected and all they do is just live a normal life. Nothing is normal about forcing your children in front of a camera. It's selfish, and it's gross. Your children look to you for guidance, structure, love, and most important time. I can assure you time is something you can never get back.

It was the leftover McDonald’s on the “what my kids ate today” vid for me. Go straight to the nearest hell Alicia! 😂😂😂

I remarked on her page about the pizza before dinner and got jumped on by a bunch of fans, "you never heard of lunch"? She said she was having pizza, THEN dinner!

Alisha wants celebrity more than anything else in life and at the expense of her entire family!!

THANK YOU for saying something about Alex’s hair, lmao 😩 I want to chop it off so bad 😭

I love Bree. I was mad at Alicia’s for going bonkers at Bjs for buying her a ton of expensive name brand clothes and not save them for Christmas, but when I saw her reaction at the end, to every one of her pieces of clothing, was excitement, I was not mad at all. She’s the most appreciative.

Poor doordash person .. 8 packs of water???? On top of everything else … &&Delivering to a hotel ?? Helll nah 😂

They get the teddy bears and just take it from the guy unphased… not even a nice thank you- it’s like they just expect shit everywhere they go bc of how much crap they’re given on a regular basis. No manners at all-Unbelievable

29:45 my guess about Josh walking to the restaurant is that he was wanting to smoke a joint by himself on the way. As someone who used to smoke OFTEN, that would 💯 make sense lol

Listen. If you go to NYC with 12 children, you need GROUPS. 1 ADULT gets assigned 3 children. This "where is ____?" is like...... what the hell. There is NO SYSTEM here

I'm thinking Alex hides behind his hair.. it's a comfort thing. Same as Nevahah hides under hoodies.

And when she gets back from NYC, she goes grocery shopping and said, I didn't go grocery shopping last week so this will be a large trip. Spends about 2 grand in the one trip plus all her "smaller" trips during the week.

So DeShawn gets to bring his gf along on this trip? This young child has that choice!? HOW STUPID!!! Wow! Also, It’s quite crazy to me how much junk she buys for the kids but why does she always have to show how much she spends?

I literally look forward to your content every day. This may sound weird, but I think many of your followers will get it when I say that your videos feel like home now.

Hey Josh I just wanted to say thank you for what you do to help these kids I use to watch and support her channel and I was even subscribed but after watching a good amount of your videos you’ve opened my eyes and helped me realize the wrong things she’s putting these kids through and it’s not fair to them so keep doing what your doing man you got my full support

Dear God, poor beautiful Bree is really going to struggle with her weight in the future if Lusha won't change her/theirs diet. The difference between what she looked when they adopted her and now is huge. Nonetheless she is such a sweetheart and loving soul. Pure joy. My heart is breaking for those kids.

Great Job JOSH!! thank you !! love and I needed the laugh !

It is abundantly clear that she watches your videos on her and she changes things accordingly lol.

Reminds me of Toddlers and tiaras or whatever where they’d pump the kids full of candy and sugar and even energy drinks to get them to perform better and for longer times. I think that’s exactly what she’s doing.

Love watching your videos. Look forward everyday to watch your videos 😊

She bought pizza for the kids because she knew they wudnt eat the fancy food....so basically going to the fancy restaurant for dinner was just for the adults really

James may just need some good shoes with fitted orthotics. Would help his back and knees.

Bought my husband the Ekster wallet after seeing your ad (and used your code)! Thanks for the recommendation! I think he’s going to lvoe it

So they fill up on pizza and donuts before going to a nice restsurant. Seriously?

They don’t have reactions to getting teddy bears and stuff because they are so desensitized to getting gifts that’s just an everyday thing to them.

Its due to the fact she lets Harlee do what ever Harlee wants she spoils her yet ignores poor Bhodi ,

She is so controlling it makes me sick. For her to deprive her children of necessary sleep is controlling and neglectful.

"safe children sleep" whelp.... That just saved me thousands in therapy on "why entering my 40s do I still have a fear from childhood of sleep?" Fug...that hit the old self awareness need in bullseye. I learned sleep is the most vulnerable you can ever be. Its kinda super power as a momma of a medical threat child but, it is a goal I wanted to fix. Thanks 💚

Her pizza cost the same as the Home Alone pizza, “Ten pizzas times twelve bucks!” 😂 ETA: I’m so glad other people actually found this funny with me🤣

THis is disgusting!!!!!!! Lush cares about nobody but herself, and this selfish lifestyle is at the cost of 12 children. They deserve so much better, keep up this content Josh!! Thank you for doing something about it.

On today's video restocking she fast forwarded while picking cereal and played Christmas music. Definitely listening to you.

I LOVE HOW SHE ALWAYS SAYS “with 12 kids” like she’s super woman or something 😂

It's interesting you mention covering the Jon and Kate Plus 8 situation because I was literally thinking of emailing you to see if you'd heard about it just the other day.

Thanks for what you’re doing Josh! ❤ 😘 from a mother from Belgium ⭐️

Hair cuts like that CAN be due to insecurities and/or depression. Hoodies are common for this too. Its a way of isolating themselves while having to be "social". It can also be a trend.

I’ve noticed she’s missed naveah out of the Monday mini vlogs she posts on TikTok. She does them in age order but skipped her and went straight to Patrick. I wonder if Neveah said she didn’t want to be on the vid 🤔and Alicia actually listened?!

Hi Josh, I used work across the street from this hotel. It’s the New York Palace, it’s very, very high end, the rooms had to be a minimum $495/a night. They had to be the trashiest people staying there. 😊

She really needs all those children taken away from her. She puts them in dangerous situations, doesn’t feed them nutritional foods etc.

The newest thing is now she’s saying that they’re eating fruits and veggies for their breakfast and lunch

It makes me sad that she never seems to dote on/love/hug/read stories to her children. Especially the adopted ones, who most likely already have attachment trauma. Feeling secure, safe, loved and understood does so much more for these kids than any amount money/trips/food ever will. (Plus: as a broke uni student, seeing her spending and wasteful habits digusts me)

Love how angry you get! 😂❤ Your videos make my day. Keep making us laugh.

She could buy them all matching coats and winter accessories if it makes it easier for her. also It is so scary to think one day these kids will have to try and live & fund their own life, and they will have no real clue. She doesn't really teach them anything.

Josh you have the voice of an Angel and I enjoy hearing you sing regardless of the lyrics. It’s beautiful and hilarious! 😇❤️ Hope you and your family have the best holidays!

I had to get ear tubes when I was six. Chronic ear infections up until that point. To this day I can’t swim under water because water gets trapped in my ears way too easily. Flying is a nightmare! I relate with you on the bad ears topic.

Some of her children are becoming overweight . They have physically changed over the last few month's.......

You should do a video on her grocery haul she posted today. She really outdid herself on the junk food! 20 boxes of cereal that’s just going to sit in the pantry, a whole bunch of icing and sprinkles, chocolate covered pretzels for Harlee who doesn’t eat actual food and probably still has an ear infection, and 5 bulks of bananas even though she let the previous ones rot while on her trip! Smh

I’ve never been into a promo more than this it’ll be late since I’m oversees but hubby will love this late gift !! Thank you!

The father is making me angrier and angrier each episode!!! He clearly didn’t want all these kids

This woman is going to have a reaaaallllyy hard time when this money geyser stops flowing. Unless she’s made some substantial investments or is saving A LOT(which by the looks of her spending habits, is unlikely), she is going to have nothing. I just hope when/if that happens, the kids are all out of the house, so they don’t have to continue suffering due to lush’s negligence.

Honestly, I can't blame their teenagers for styling their hair in front of their faces. I wouldn't want to be seen very clearly associated with this wacko mom, either. These kids deserve so much better.

I was waiting for this video, thanks Josh for advocating for those who are vulnerable. It's so important that we either advocate or stand beside someone who does. As a teacher and foster Mum I was able to do this constantly but now I'm terminally ill I'm here watching your channel and trying to stay under the radar while letting people in her comments section know about child exploitation and referring them to your channel. X

The perfect timing of a White Claw commercial cutting in right as you call Alicia a damned clown 😂 🤡🙃🤣

She also ff’ed through some of her BS cereal grocery shopping today! 🤣🤣🤣

You’re right, the wallets are sweet haha. Just ordered one for the hubs for Christmas!

I’m sick in bed today and I needed this lol great video Josh! 💛

Every time I watch one of her videos (only covered by josh) it makes me want to call CPS on her. It’s so frustrating, they had no coats when they were clearly cold. She just admitted that they were running on ONE HOUR of sleep, like are you kidding me!

I am convinced the number one resson she buys so much is because she wants people to know that she can. She thinks having 12 kids and paying thousands a week on food is a flex. There is no logical reason why she needed to order all that food to be delivered to the hotel, she did it to show off. She has low self esteem, her self worth is dependent on what others think of her.

You need to remix the 12 days of Christmas. Deez nuts style . That would be epic 😂

I do have to say I think you are having an influence on her. Her videos seem different in little ways and it is all stuff you have said. Like her recent grocery one she just posted she actually sped up a part of her shopping and added music too. I watch her videos and say all the time oh I can't wait to hear what Josh HD to say about this one 😂😂 you are great and thoroughly enjoy your snark! Happy Holidays!!
