Dougherty Dozen - Why Does Josh Not Care About His Kids? 

Josh is probably living a second life with a girl that has no kids

So, she can have Dayshawn's birthday a month before the actual day, but she can't change Dash's to the weekend so that his Dad can be there? It's a choice. He doesn't want to be there with all those kids.

"She looks like Wallace & Gromitt's grandmother" absolutely ANNIHILATED me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"They don't make the Lego set anymore." Meanwhile, it was on the shelf at the Lego store she went to 🤣

My husband was on a 6 month tour of duty and he still managed to get his 2 weeks leave to co inside with our sons 1st birthday 🥳

You are totally right, these kids would probably be so much happier if they all had their own space. The fact that she has 17 year olds sharing rooms with 10 year olds is so sad. Not to mention all of the CRAP they have. Those shared rooms must feel so cramped :(

I have to say I just found this channel and I haven’t laughed as hard as I did today watching Josh. He’s hysterical !!!

You missed one of the worst parts, as Dash was ripping open his presents he was throwing the paper all around and Lush told him he was hitting Bree in the face with it.. he turns around and blankly says he doesn’t care..Lush then says “DASH!” And again he blankly says “what?” As if he doesn’t know what he said was wrong. And even worse Bree still was trying to be nice to Dash and hand him gifts.. I can only imagine some of the treatment some of these kids in this house get from siblings as well.

He didn’t want all these kids. And lush is just doing the literal bare minimum to raise these kids.

I'm waiting for her to give each kid a Stanley tumbler for Valentine's Day next

That lego piranha plant that she said she had to get from ebay cause they don't make it anymore, she filmed the same one in the lego shop!! Make it make sense.😂

After all these videos of yours about DD I don't know why it just dawned on me during this one, but the reason she buys the same things for all the kids during things like valentines or st. Pattys, why she wonders aimlessly during birthday and christmas shopping....it appears that she legitimately does not know what her children are interested in. She's that mom that if you say you like eagles when your 4, then for the rest of your life you get defaulted to an eagle gift because that's the only insight into her children that she has. She looks at board games and doesn't know what he would be interested in so she gives up and moves on. It's really sad.

The moment of her wishing josh happy birthday and him looking at her with DISDAIN is ... telling.

I have a friend who grew up with a dad that worked a lot. He’s a doctor. She still remembers the empty chair at the dinner table when he would be too busy to even have a dinner with them. I can’t imagine how much worse the feeling will be for the child who won’t have his dad around to celebrate his birthday because he’s too busy “working” 😒

In the full video, Dash calling Nana a witch... priceless!!! 😂😂😂😂

I was a track coach and when I had away meets, we would come back at 10:30 pm. It all depended how many schools were competing. But…..track season doesn’t start until March

Josh does the coaching and any other school,extras so he can avoid his home life imo. Track ends around 6 or 7pm at the most.

It blew my mind that in her new video she called out N for being the reason they had to lock up all their razors (starts at 34:10 in her recent grocery haul)

When she came home from shopping the clock was still above the stove. When she prepared the McDonald's it was gone. She knows what she's doing. She knew she would be called out for feeding her kids cold food so she took it off. Smh

honestly I'm surprised she doesn't get 11 whole sheet cakes for each kid's bday so they can all have their own favorite flavor lol

As a 28 year old now I’m telling you I remember the birthdays as a kid that my dad wasn’t there! I don’t remember what gifts I got but I remember that he wasn’t there.

I did track in high school, I had one track meet until like 10:30 at night and this was a large invitational/playoffs. Every other track meet was no where close until 11pm. That’s very rare to have one track meet that late let alone several a week especially if it’s a regular one. She’s 100% lying, or Josh.

I seriously don't understand why she would not have bought a big house to fit all those kids. That would be much more beneficial for them then buying all that random crap she buys them

Josh please comment on the lastest shopping haul, 30 minutes in she mentions having to lock up the razors till the foster child "she" left. I am livid

Dash wanted to get the gaming table for his birthday, but also the very same Dash has absolutely no idea what it was, even when he looked at the table, he still didn’t understand what it’s for. Yeah, he sooo wanted it.🤦‍♀️

I'm guessing the classmates parent's made it very clear- DONT RECORD MY KID OR THEY ARENT COMING TO THE PARTY.

James has been asking to go to Great Wolf Lodge for his birthday but it never happens!😡😡😡

Her thumb looks like she accidentally chopped it off, so they replaced it with one of her toes.

Good point in moving his birthday party to a day Josh could make it! Didn’t Dayshawn have like three birthday parties this year or something and she can’t move his?

She made the comment in one of her recent grocery shopping video that they STILL aren’t on sewer🤔🤔 as she was buying paper plates, bowls, and disposable cutlery. She also mentioned that they used to have to “lock up all their razors” because of issues while a “foster child” was living with them but now that she’s gone they don’t have to do it anymore. Why in God’s name would you even say that!!!

There is no way 20 kids from his class showed up to a party on a Thursday night. I know when my daughter was that age a birthday party on a weeknight was the absolute last thing I wanted to attend. Maybe if it was a party for her best friend but not for some random kid in her class.

Thanks for making me smile and laugh Josh! It’s been a tough week this week and last. I lost my mom suddenly.

Having an awful morning. Thank you for the video at just the right time Josh! ✨

So, she says Dash wanted the table for Christmas but when he opened it he was like “what is this thing? “ 😂

My kids don't even ask for this many things. She's always like "this kid asked for this and that too" to SO many items! This is insane.

I think the live going through expenses would be a FANTASTIC time! I am so damn down for that Josh!!

I feel like there’s something fishy going on with Josh being away so much. I get the schedule he has can be grueling, but if he gave a crap, he would even ask alush to plan things when he could be there.

I was in track, and yes sometimes meets would go late and by the time we got back to our school, got my stuff together and got home it would have been 10:30pm or so. And if Josh has to wait until all the kids are picked up or gone before leaving, I’d say it’s understandable he’d be away until 11pm for an away meet.

I watched his birthday video because I was curious. His behavior was so uncalled for!!! He threw tissue paper at Bree while he was opening his gifts clearly making her upset,and Lush did nothing about it!!! Not,one thank you from Dash😠. Lush and Josh have ruined these kids!!!

We just celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday. Her birthday is on January 1st...we pushed her party back to the 14th because of my husband's work schedule and it worked out great. I also did all my shopping weeks prior and I prepared 42 chicken salad sub sandwiches (the birthday girls request) and baked 24 cupcakes and baked and decorated a 3 layered cake as well. Not to mention I decorated the whole house in Wednesday Addams theme for the occasion. I was completely wore out but my daughter absolutely loved everything and that makes it worth every second I put into making her day special.

Perfect timing, Was needing something to watch while my kids are napping.

i graduated from high school in 2017, and was on my high schools track team. Latest practice was until 9pm. No way you’d have students practicing until 11pm when you need to maintain good grades to do sports in the first place.

It was funny when Dash opened the octopus stuffie and said “I didn’t even know I wanted one of these!”😂😂she just buys sh*t that they don’t ask for!

These kids will never understand the words “be careful baby it’s hot” when it comes to food! 😢

Yes, perfect timing! I’m about to wash dishes and prep for dinner & needed something to watch 😂 Thanks Josh!

There was a recent DD short where she says Josh wanted 2 kids, so we settled on 11. He never wanted all this craziness. The gift unwrapping with these kids always angers and saddens me. They are only a couple who are actually thankful for what they get. The rest of them open, and toss aside; even the grandparents' gifts. Do better Lush!! Happy Meals for teenagers??

I have two foster sons, 9 and 10, with so many academic and behavioral issues. It's a full time job, every moment they are awake, especially as they have very very little screen time.. No idea how you would take care of so many kids with extra needs and all the shopping she fits in.

Im surprised Alicia putting the happy meals together was so annoying to her since she absolutely loves handling and touching everyone’s food.

Im a recovering alcoholic. I can say with 99 percent certainty that she was drunk while putting together the happy meals. The tumbler she was drinking from was not her coffee one.

A child getting $1000 gaming table?!?! I looked it up on Amazon to possibly get one but couldn't believe the price. 🤯

These shopping videos are a vertigo-inducing, stomach-churning, plunge into retail chaos.

They open presents and don’t give a crap. My children are literally more excited for their birthdays than Christmas. It’s a moment when everyone focuses on them and the entire family participates. It’s just a shame for these kids…they have no excitement or anything to look forward too. Breaks my heart.

She's like the Swedish chef from the Muppets with her rambling. Lush is a shopaholic seriously 😳

This woman is creating children who will grow up and not be grateful for gifts even if it’s thousands of dollars

Okay, but I need to find that axolotl plushie for my son because he loves axolotls, and his birthday is next week.

She said they don’t make the piranha lego set which is why she bought it on eBay but literally showed it in stock at the Lego store 🤣

Watching and baking up a storm for kids snacks for school to take....thank you Josh

I commented this on the most recent video but why is she having these parties on weeknights?!? That’s why no classmates show up. No parent, especially one who has worked all day, can easily get their kid to a birthday party on a school night.

My husband is a music tour truck driver...he hauls artists equipment/stage... For our daughters 21st birthday (shes in college 400 miles away) i drove up to her uni to celebrate her...her daddy was on tour, so he couldn't attend.. but his gift to her was a used guitar pick from our girls favorite musician (alice Cooper) had his image on it...and a couple scuff marks on it.. played by Ms. Nita Stauss...( Her daddy fed-exed that pick to me, to get it to her) i drilled a small hole in it and hung it from a chain. That necklace doesn't come off her neck... He got her the best gift ever.. Its not the money spent, its the intention... When she opened that gift she was so excited..she immediately called her dad to share her excitement. Our son graduates high school next Friday...my husband is on another tour..but he booked a flight home to be here for 3 days to watch his son graduate...then he has to fly back out to another state...where he will get back into his truck to head back out on tour.. If my husband...whos gone literally 90% of the year can make it... Josh could do the literal bare minimum for those kids.. He doesn't want to be around lushy or those kids... pathetic piles of crap...both of them

That gaming table is the DUMBEST thing I've ever seen, especially for a 10 year old lmaooo

She doesn't document her trips to the liquor store😅 we can probably add on $150/month

The merp really kicks in too when she’s bs-ing her way through something.

Dash is the 5th youngest. Not the 5th oldest. Shouldn’t she know this about her own kids? 🤣 Also it’s Dash’s birthday party and she spent most of the time filming D. Her obsession with him is creepy!

She paid $1000 for fragile gaming table and then pulls a WWE body slam on it.

I’ve always said that Josh and her have an agreement. You want to do this you handle it all.

They also SHARE a birthday , it should be a special day for the 2. Shane on him

Josh’s energy when he walked in.. 😮 he’s sooo over lush’s crap

She's so F.O.S.!!! I'm medically retired now but as an RN who worked 3-12 hr shifts, I'd still get less sleep and do job share for 4 hours to be present for my Son's track meets and Football games! It wasn't easy, but it's what I did because I Wanted to be there for him. ❤

I bet if Dayshawn wanted that water bottle it would have been ordered though

Look at the difference between what she spent on dash as opposed to what she spent on Dayshawn!!! She doesn't even try to hide who her favorites are! She buys those kids, and her bio kid's are obviously less important to her!!

I can’t even begin to imagine how high the electric bill in this house is. With all the video game consoles,tv’s,Computers, charging stations and fridges/ freezers the bill is probably higher than the rent

She should spend money on a new pair of glasses that will fit that kid!

Alicias husband are probably out drinking until midnight with his friends several days a week and leaves his kids to Alicia to care for, and we know how Alicia cares for those kids.

She bought her husband a wine rack for his bday. I thought both of them don't drink 🤔

Did anyone notice that the Lego set that she bought on Ebay that she said was a discontinued set that is hard to find was on the shelf in the Lego store? 😂 Not even kidding! Go back and see for yourself. Lol!! It's the Piranha plant.

I wouldn't be surprised if Josh is having an affair lmfao

I'm watching this at work -- I know, bad me, but I needed a break -- I'm having a hard time stifling my giggles Josh...you're hilarious!

She buys so many things she has no idea what’s been delivered & what hasn’t

It is so sad that she can’t schedule the party to a day the entire family can be there, especially their father!

I am very sensitive when it comes to children. I purposely watched her grocery shopping vlog on Sunday, and I was appalled. The amount of junk she bought for her kids was off the chart. Are we to believe that any child would pass up sweets, chips etc. for fruit? And the gifts! Look at what each child got for Christmas, unreal! What could they possibly want or need for their birthday!

You skipped right at the part that made me the most upset. J tries to backflip, and then D immediately flips multiple times and then Alicia, while cackling, says "oh there he goes to show off" or something to that effect. You KNOW that that competitive nature against siblings is to get comments from Alicia. And I think we all know who gets the most good compliments. I think she does yell a "Good job J" at some point but idk, really rubs me the wrong way.

Great video Josh!! This is the biggest most obvious issue with The Doughertys… the lack of parenting, love and nurturing is unbelievable. There is absolutely NO way she has time to help these kids with a special needs issues let alone quality bonding time with them….And taking them to buy shit doesn’t count. I’ve never seen one video displaying love from this lady and her absent husband, yet the state of NY seems to think they’re fit to adopt. These children need love and they get anything but. 😢

Hey Josh, glad you did a video on this one. I agree, it’s weird and strange Josh is never there for his kids. Like why??

I honestly fear that Josh is cheating on her. Out until 11pm??? Come on….

What I think the thing is with her husband slacking as a parent is because from the beginning, he may not have wanted to adopt that many kids. That's just my opinion.

The happy meal as a snack and then a dinner is uncomprehensible.

There is no way her high school kids are eating Happy Meals. She is so messed up. Feel bad for the kids.

I cannot believe she just let that gaming table just smash on the table like that!

Great to see this video on a VERY COLD Tuesday! 🥶💙🥶

The piranha plant is still made,, it was in the lego store at christmas when she was getting the Titanic. 😊

I love shopping for my daughter. I find things I know she will love and she is so excited. I can’t imagine not putting thought into her gifts getting her the same as 10 other kids. I seriously could never

sushi roll is actually a good game... but notice how she shops. it's not "what would D like" but "what don't we have?"

Why can’t she recycle the previous bags from all the other gifts? What a wasteful family.

Maybe Josh D having two jobs is actually part of his escape plan? He will need to have his own place if he is going to leave.

I have never seen either of those new Oreo’s here where I live down in South Texas. That thumb makes me want to gag, especially right now that I just had lunch!

Omg, never thought about birthday party favor bags. You're right, never seen her do them. Interesting!!

Snowed in here in Tennessee. Counting down to the snark videos everyday this week! Thank you Josh!!!

She didn’t need to buy that on eBay. I literally saw her walk past it in the Lego store.

theres no teacher working until 12 that would be inappropriate! sounds like hes having an affair to me lmao who tf else stays out until 12

Love this channel! Keep up the good work Josh 🙌🏻✨
