One time in my life, I would like to go shopping without having to wait for a sale, check the clearance isle, check sale or mark downs in the store, try to find the best bargains and starting shopping back in August. Never once did she have to check the price. Kudos to her for being able to really SHOP!
Cuz she didn’t have to check the price? To me she is a stupid shopper blowing money while kids are going hungry. U people are stupid
She is a hard working wonderful mom to those kids she treats them all the same a excellent foster , real mom and adoptive mom u can tell ....
I absolutely agree!
the kids are a mix of bio, adopted and kinship she actually does not have any foster kids and doesn't get any money for the kinship kids@@yesie8375
@joanturner this is not a a lot realy split by 12 kids I’m 25 and my perents buy me over 60 presents every year so no it’s not bad at all
I wish I knew what it's like to shop and not worry about a price and spend thousands on my kids! It must be nice! That is pretty awesome!
Well that's why she flexes it. Disgusting when most people are trying to pay bills and put food on their tables.
@@krisbarge833well this is how she makes her living. It’s her niche.
@@krisbarge833 if she can afford it for her kids idk how it’s disgusting? If anything it’s inspiring how she can provide all of this and more for her kids
@@krisbarge833oh stop . 12 kids is expensive. You just sound bitter and jealous. What, just because they're foster kids they're supposed to get the short end of the stick and not enjoy gifts like every other fortunate kids out there?
You sound so out of touch. And she probably shows the prices because a lot of people give money to her for these kids. So she's showing where the money is going and there's nothing wrong with that.
Woah! As soon as I heard the first total I was shocked, that's like 6 childhood Christmases combined for me. I'm glad you and your husband can get each kid what they want with little to no worry, my entire childhood was put on a budget, but I never cared because it's not always about the gifts. Because I certainly can't remember what I got for christmas each year, but I can always remember the memories made during those times. I'm not bashing on you or anything, just very happy for you that you can afford to make these kids extremely happy!
thats like all the christmasses ive ever witnessed
Husband and her must have good jobs
Every salesperson were just so nice and really helpful, love to see it! Beautiful family! 😊
wait..LOST ALL THE SWITCH GAMES..and now you are rewarding the irresponsible behavior by repacing them..uggg.,..these kids are going to grow up as irresponsible entitled adults..who think the world owes them everything!
EXACTLY!
Oh calm down
James will be such a good dad
He is paying attention to EVERY kid and making sure they have what they need. I just can't, he is such a good kid.
I agree, James is a great kid, he’s got a huge heart, god bless him🙏
Also it's not his job to do that though he us missing out on what is supposed to be the funniest time of his life.
@@crystalm392 how is he missing out though? Because he pays attention to his siblings? He is definitely having the time of his life
Yes James seems like be a great dad or big brother at a place for children that don’t have dads one day. I was thinking be a big sister but not sure have time.
@@crystalm392 Why so critical ? he obviously knows his brothers and sisters taste and looks like he enjoyed himself doing it.
Okay I'm not being hateful I promise. I have watched you forever. I want to tell you a story though. In August I got diagnosed with cancer. Double mastectomy in October and in chemo now. I asked my 16 year old what he wanted for Christmas. He said I already got my Christmas gift you are alive. He said even one gift would be icing on his cake. I know I am the center of his world. We are so close. I went on black Friday to the Verizon store and got him his first big phone and iPhone 14 like you did. He got a watch and earbuds free with it. I got an iPad free too. I will give that to my husband. Why didn't you do that. It would have saved thousands for you. How do you know if the kids truly love or just love what you buy them. Gifts don't equal love. I pray for you. I want you to know true love without the money.
this story is truly touching. sending you so much love. Christmas truly is about love and family and it’s such a shame she isn’t teaching them that, they deserve it !!:(
@@hallie7256 thank you so much. We are happy. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Okay I guess
Your son was clearly raised right, merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️
I have a suggestion. For many families, this Christmas season will be tight, and many children will not receive what they normally do. How about instead of flexing all the money you have on your children all the time, use this opportunity to find a family who is deserving of the help and provide them with groceries and gifts for the entire family and include your children in on the adventure. Your children are not learning about empathy and giving by shoveling as many gifts as you do on a daily basis down their throats. Doing half of what you do for your children would be WAY MORE than most receive in their childhood, and they would learn to be more appreciative of what they do receive as well as learning to give back to others when you are blessed beyond measure on a daily basis. UPDATE: Apparently, I have insulted other viewers with my opinion, and that was not my intent. My opinion is that Christmas is a way to give back to others instead of receiving. It's my opinion, which I have a right to have. All of those who disagree also have a right to their opinions, and Alicia likely will not read nor care about my comment. She has every right to do what she wishes with her money. It was simply my suggestion as a way to help others and her own children. Merry Christmas!
You have no idea what she donates , also as heartbreaking as it us, other kids are not hers , she has 12 she's taking care of .
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO why are u telling HER what to do with HER money? some of these kids aren't fully hers & she's trying to give them what they didn't have before.
@@springmiki7414 She posts on YT, and I have a right to post my opinion. You, as well, have a right to yours. Good day.
@@KH-df8fc I do not. Nor do you, unless you're one of hers. Because she so freely shares her spending habits on YT, I am free to my opinion as are you.
@@residingintheinbetween5450 you're doing it in a negative way. it's her money lmao.acting like her kids dont know empathy LMAO like who are you.
I just love James he is such a sweet caring boy. He’s knows exactly what his siblings like ❤❤
He's so thoughtful 🧡🧡🧡
More than what u can say for her
He’s one of the sweetest!!!
@@Biancaonlysister what are u talking about
Hi❤
there's a old saying kids wants " presence " NOT presents
I’m really confused as to why they are being gifted a ridiculous amount of switch games after losing them?! How are they being taught the value of money, gratitude and care and responsibility if everything they lose is simply replaced?
Exactly- my parents would have either made me (with my own money) buy new ones or tear the house apart and put it all back together they would never have done this-
That was so much fun watching you Christmas shopping!! You got some great stuff!! James is so helpful!! Thanks for sharing!!
🧡🧡🧡
You have enough gifts for over 100 kids. 12 New phones, 12 tablets, games, gift cards. Multiple shoes that are over $500. Jewelry and more.
You are flexing and it's unbecoming.
There are kids that will not get anything for Christmas.
I hope the copious amounts of gifts make your kids happy and you have a Merry Christmas.
For the haters, I have every right to express my opinion. I generally like these videos but this is insane.
You do know she buys for more than her kids right?
@@kandydewey1286I haven’t seen that post yet. She does have the right to buy how much she wants. Buts it’s her showing off how much she spends that turns people off.
It should go on the logs, considering its because of them that she is making that much money. Its kinda their money anyway..
@@kandydewey1286 Sure, I am also allowed to have and voice my opinion.
@@melodyspencer3868 Yes, it is my right. It's her right, too. Different sides. 😁
I wouldn't have a problem with her buying all this if I thought they would actually take care of their stuff. The fact that she mentions they lost all their Switch games, broken Switch, broken Airpods, etc. proves to me they don't. Tons of money just thrown away for a few minutes of excitement.
Yep …when my kids loose/break things through carelessness they don’t get immediately replaced. Her kids don’t care as she will get them new ones straight away
You have NO idea how any of those things happened! The switch games were probably all together in one container and got misplaced. The switch that is broken? It could have been really old! It could have been an accident. The lost ear pods (not broken, lost), everyone loses things at some point! Whether it’s ear pods, a book, anything! So much judgment against children that you do not even know, for no reason.
@@bsauntie5373 First of all, I'm not judging the kids at all. It's the parents' responsibility to teach their kids to take care of their belongings. But they don't, because they know if something happens to them they will just replace it. Maybe that's okay with Alicia, but I think it's wasteful and irresponsible.
@@ellyc87 Then you teach your kids, and she is more than capable of taking care of her own. MORE than capable, especially since 8 of her kids were approved by the government. Just sayin’
@@bsauntie5373 I never said she wasn't capable... Good grief. I said she wastes money, of course that's my opinion. I could give other examples, such as her not wanting to move her luggage around so she didn't have to spend the extra $150. But that is a price of a snack for her so what does she care?
One gift for each kid. Maybe two. Then it's all about food , being close to family , and good times to remember
It's all for views sweetie. I'm sure she will have plenty of food too most of it will go right in the trash as usual. It's all for views though, all of it.
@@lauraholloway6986 If you knew / saw them in person you wouldn’t think that way ma’am. I pray you will understand people of this world soon.
You wanna give your kids one gift for Christmas? What would you choose?
James should get money for all the work he does when no one else does. He's so sweet.
James is so sweet and mature, so is Alex. The younger ones are lucky to have them as big bros!
So proud of him 🧡🧡🧡
Alex and James talk to the littles so much like parents. I cant believe the kiddos respect and listen to their older brothers the way they do. Alicia you should be so proud of raising those boys right. They will make WONDERFUL fathers one day. Im just wondering who is going to have the tougher time when the older boys head off to college, them or the little kids. What do you do to foster that bond between the little ones and their teen siblings?
Alex isn't mature. He asked for 'an expensive necklace' with no interest in style or type as long as it cost a lot!
Absolutely! They will make wonderful dads one day!
yep ZERO thanks to Alicia for ignoring him and not giving him the love and attention he deserves, they all deserve better and y’all are 🤡 for supporting a child exploiter
The twins don’t know how to say thank you?
James is such sweetheart, he is always helping you. He’s great big brother, and a good son, you are very lucky to have him. Merry Christmas you guys, sending love and light your way.
I liked this channel very much but its not more about parenting but disgusting snobbery. I leave.
I wonder if the children actually appreciate their presents as they lost their switch games whilst in New York! My kids don’t ever get the amount of gifts these children get but the difference is they are very responsible for their belongings because they appreciate how much these games cost!
Switch games are really tiny so they are easy to loose.
@@samg873more reason to take good care of them!
@@samg873 my children have never lost one …ever..they are super careful because they know I won’t replace it and they don’t get many to start with …don’t make excuses for their wastefulness
@@TheSamjane4 I'm careful too. I almost did lose one but I have bad fingers dexterity and I somehow made game fly across the room
@@TheSamjane4 I do agree replacing something like that is ridiculous. She should have bought them game cases. Way more cheaper
I think it’s overwhelming for the kids! Phone/iPad/multiple video games/$500 sneakers /15 plus multi packs of Barbie things/ snowboards etc ! Overwhelmingly clutter, causing crowded household
her house is clean lol. Gloves are easy to put away same with barbies. Phones you keep on you or charging. Snowboards are obviously gonna be stored away. Video games are also easy to organize LOL. Not everyone is a messy kid
Totally agree!
It must be exhausting to look for the worst in everything and then choose to live out that way.
@@PrincessPuddles right lmfao
@@springmiki7414 judging by the state of their bedrooms when Alicia picks up after them and makes their beds, they're all messy and careless.
The one kid at 44:40 is like give me my stuff and I didn't hear him even say thank you. Gratefulness is missing.
Kids are lucky that they can get what they want..hope you can sustain that through the years or even lessen..also like let them experience the act of giving💜
@@rn87mom94just because your life and parents suck, doesn’t mean she’s doing something wrong. If you had the ability, you’d do the same, and If you wouldn’t- you suck. Grow up
I enjoyed this video!!! One day I will be able to do the same for my children! You gave me motivation to be more consistent on my videos! Love it!!! ❤👍
That was so much fun!🎉❤
Now we’re waiting for the wrapping video 😊
Haha, marathon wrapping video! 🧡🧡🧡
Sick
I bet the woman at the jewelry kiosk was thrilled you stopped by!!! Thats the most sales that counter has ever saw. Usually people ignore those stalls.
Hope the kids enjoy their necklace, you picked out some pretty ones.
I was so excited that I was able to buy for 13 people in my family and spent less than $1600. Probably the biggest Christmas haul I've been able to do since becoming a widow...I've never been able to shop without looking at prices or searching for deals, but am so excited for your family. You really put a lot of thought into what they ask for. ❤
Her weekly grocery bill is more than I get for retirement. And I worked for 40 years.
The love and thoughtfulness that you put into snacks, etc is amazing! You know your kids so well; they are so beyond blessed to have you as their mom.
The sheer amount of shopping you get to do is mind blowing… I don’t even want to think about all that wrapping! That is part of the holiday fun though 😊 it’s so nice to see you excited about picking out gifts for everyone, even the ones where they listed specifically what they wanted. They’re all so lucky to have so much care, and they all deserve everything you give them. So much love to you and the rest of the family! ❤
Her family could fill a landfill with all their waste.
@@jessa3654 so could most families with all the wrapping paper and packaging! I am one of 9, with 6 grandkids already- we create a lot of waste on Christmas! I don’t always like it, but it is what it is. But that’s not what this video or my comment is about. It’s about a mom going above and beyond to give her kids what they want because they deserve it by being wonderful kids. They are very lucky to be able to have parents who can do that, since a lot of people don’t. But trying to be negative because they can have this doesn’t make it better for anyone else. I have a large family and always had a changing family growing up because we did foster care. My parents would have killed to be able to make this kind of Christmas happen for myself and all of our bonus kids over the years. I think a great use of your energy would be donating time this holiday season volunteering with families instead of trying to bring one down online ❤️ Merry Christmas!
I use to watch these videos and think how lucky these kids were to have such a loving home. This videos totally changed my outlook. These kids are over bought and I truly think it’s an addiction for her at this point. It’s pathetic.
Oh please - if you had the money you would be no different.
Bet u still watching tho huh 😒
So do you say this stuff when a celebrity buys a bunch of stuff and posts a vlog? Or do you save your envy and rudeness for Alicia?
What’s pathetic is how your jealousy makes you feel like you have the right to tell someone how they should spend their own money. If you’re broke just say that
@@198clm nope, this not normal. She has an addiction and it’s so obvious
I feel like all of this is for flex and shock value to get people talking and looking at her videos. This is a ridiculous amount of money to be spending on children who already have so much (material possessions). You can tell how proud she is the more money she spends. It’s wasteful and unnecessary. She is not relatable and becoming more unlikable.
💯
How is it wastefull if she has the money for it and the kids like the presidents. Y’all would complain if she barely got any presidents so why complain taht she got them why they wanted
So incredibly wasteful. Seems addicted to acquiring more and more.
More $$
More kids
More gifts
Seems like an unhealthy issue
The last two on Dayshawn’s list. So wholesome. 🥺
“A shirt that says I ❤️ Marisa” and “To spend time with family”.
I enjoy watching you and your family I just I can do the same for my son but I just had a second stroke last month but I’m doing my best I enjoy watching your channel do you mama
Omg i though that Was a little Kids letter
🧡🧡🧡
He has such a big heart and appreciates all that is done for him....he is truly a sweet kind loving brother and son
@@taniavalle1542 wow......how rude can one get??????
Alicia this was a blast to watch. I love Christmas and although it isnt all about gifts, it is sure a beautiful thing to watch you feeling a sense of pride to get the kids what they will enjoy. I hope to see a Christmas video :)
“They will spend and spend without realizing it!” Oh the irony
Right! I had a good laugh at that comment.
🎁❄️🙋♀️ So much fun! I totally agree with you about the Hula hoops! I bought several for a writing group mixer and we were all grown adults having pizza and drinks and it was a blast! You are never too old for fun! Happy holidays to you and your lovely family ❤
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
Didn’t you just buy 12 iPhone 14’s for Christmas? Now you have brought 12 iPads,don’t get me wrong I love spoiling my kids at Christmas but this is stupid and won’t be doing them any favours in the long run
Right? This year my kids are getting 1 toy to play with and experiments, crafts and books. My kids have more than enough toys coming from other family members. They both have tablets but they are kids ones they only have learning games on it. This is just insane. There is no way the youngest ones stated they wanted brand nee tablets. This honestly just makes me sick at the money she spends on thing they don't need or even appreciate.
@@evamarie4527 exactly,I mean buying 4,5&8 yr olds iPhone 14’s and the newest iPads out is just irresponsible,I used to like watching this channel but I won’t be anymore,she’s so wasteful it’s actually disgusting
Damn, I would of been tired hitting one store lol 😂 good job mom!!! You they’re gonna have a amazing Christmas
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
Be kind? Is constructive criticism being rude? This is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting, and I'm a supporter.
Listen go complain on the kardashians social media……she gave and is giving, 8 kids that aren’t hers, a great life,that they wouldn’t have , without her…… move on. Your comment on someone else’s spending habits is disgusting
Such a fun Christmas haul! Love the switch games teens are hard to shop for even with a list! My oldest teen boy got a bunch of switch games for christmas!!
This was so fun to watch. Loved seeing everyone's lists ❤️ 💕 what about a vanilla perfume for Nevaeh? 💕 billie eilish perfume is vanilla she might like that. Thanks for bringing us along. 🤗
I remember being a kid and my mom telling me that Santa was on a budget.Still had wonderful loving Christmas holidays.
My kids understand that Santa is not real and that we provide Christmas and it must be earned with Hardwork being kind to others
@@carmenflores7605boasting about it is not true humility.
Carmenflores- hopefully you also taught them not to ruin in fir the other kids that believe. Wow kids have to earn their Christmas? That’s pathetic. No childhood for them they shouldn’t have to worry about anything.
@@carmenflores7605Or, you could say Santa brings 1 gift. Mom and Dad do the rest. So if its a tight year, only 1 gift to figure out
Texting your child to check if they want this and that making it so obvious they’ll be getting it on xmas day… no magic in that… no magic in buying SO many things either… just makes the children want more and more each time. Christmas is meant to be a magical time and it just so happens that giving a gift is something you do but not spending thousands and ticking off boxes 😔
ikr
go away, these kids spent most of their life with nothing, if she wants to buy them things to play with she can! i will never understand you weird people who deprive children of toys, she can afford it so she brought it, period!
@@missamberkay 🤡
💝Aw, I loved this. Thanks for sharing. 🍀 I had to do our christmas Shopping online this year, because of bad health. I enjoyed your shopping tour, which was inspiring to me as a teen's mom. Have a wonderful Christmas time and stay happy and healthy. 🍀🌟🌲
It does not go unnoticed that these kids are paying for their own Christmas gifts! Their mother films and shares everything about her kids on Social Media for money.
Yes, yes, yes!
Thank you for another fun vlog 🧡 Hope everyone has a warm and fun weekend.
Not a fan of snowy/icy weather too
🧡🧡🧡
For all the parents on here who comment that you hope someday you can do this for your kid or you wish you weren't struggling so you could do this for your kid.. Stop. Kids don't need this kind of spending. They want time wether that means doing a Christmas activity, art project baking the list goes on of inexpensive things you can do together. They will remember that way longer then 30,000 dollar gifts. Trust me your kids are just fine with whatever you can afford ❣️
And it is just wonderful where this family gets both.
What are you even talking about
These kids are so blessed to find these two for parents. She serves healthy meals and they aren’t expensive items. She keeps up with their needs and wants. He is a great provider! You two are awesome parents! God bless!
Your kids are so kind and helpful to their little siblings. ❤
🧡🧡🧡
I really miss those Santa Claus years when there are young children in the house, it just gives Christmas a bit more sparkle. Before anyone says that's not what Christmas is about, yes I always made sure our children knew the real meaning of Christmas as I do now with our granddaughters. Enjoy your children when they're young because they grow up so quickly. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
I so agree. My granddaughter has gone from Elf-on-a-Shelf to Skin-Care & Make-up in just 12 months. I so miss those Santa years now.😭
There is no such thing as the real meaning of christmas. Christmas means whatever it means to each individual.
Merry Christmas from seattle.
🧡🧡🧡
The Christmas magic that children experience is from their moms!
The reason why I love buying toys for my toddler is because I'm so excited to see his reaction when I hand over to him all the stuff he likes/love, can't wait for the dougherty kids to open their gifts, so much love from the PH
But everything she bought is online and their class mates also see it… what’s the fun in that???
Y’all are so blessed. Hope to have the ability to give as much as I want this year! 🙏
James is just the sweetest big brother there is! He literally melts my heart!
So sweet 🧡🧡🧡
The teen boy chain phase. 😂 That’s my favorite Blackish episode when Jr gets his. 😂
Yup 🧡🧡🧡
Def a real thing lol
Since getting sober (going on 4 years now) I try to make each Christmas and birthday the absolute best I can and it makes my heart so full to watch son be so happy on Christmas morning
🧡🧡🧡
Congrats on your sobriety! You should be so proud! Merry Christmas!
@@rachaelstevens9022 thank you so much. Merry Christmas ⛄
Congratulations on your sobriety! I have family members currently struggling, and I understand your amazing accomplishment
You are amazing is all I can say. Just recently found your videos and they are great. Not sure how you do it and not lose your mind or pull your hair out, but you are so cool, calm and collected. Wish I was more like you!!!
James is adorable. I hope one day he will have his own kids. He just seems so attentive and sweet.

When children are constantly being bought things they can become unappreciative. Also things don't make one happy. It's love that brings happiness. Also children can become spoiled and selfish. When they get older they will expect so much and get upset when they don't get their own way or get what they want. Children are happy with simple things and love,kisses and hugs and telling them you love them and showing them you do. Things don't always show love.
Although I agree love, attention, nurturing is the most important, kids are kids that want stuff too.
I agree to some extent but I believe this family lived a fairly modest life prior to finding some success. I would probably go hog wild for my kids too if I hadn't always been able to.
I disagree…using your vernacular’stuff does make you happy’, just like having money makes you much happier, just ask anyone who cannot pay their bills…my kids always got whatever they wanted and are now responsible, hard working, self sufficient, kind and successful men…presents are the best ❤️
It ain’t ya business
@Max’s Mum Yeah not always true. There are many people with lots of money that aren't happy. Money doesn't automatically buy happiness
have you not bought them all headphones like 10 times this year? In fact didnt you buy some right before this last New York trip?
Kids have NO responsibility because they know she'll just buy another
@@jaquelyngears1359 that is so true. If I had lost headphones that often as a child my mom wouldn’t have kept buying them she would have made me earn my own money to buy new ones. 🙄 this woman
@@jennyv8837 stop trashing this mom it's not you're business how she raises her kids or how she spends her money
@@hairypotatoes3760 I’m sorry when was me asking a valid question trashing someone? I didn’t say anything negative about her I quite literally said have you not already bought them headphones multiple other times this year? And that my mom would never keep buying me something if I kept losing them.
@@jennyv8837 "she would have made me earn my own money to buy new ones.🙄 this woman" I don't think thay sounds like asking a valid question that sounds more implying that she spoils her kids to much bc she buys them headphones
this is insanely overboard and it's okay to spoil your kids, get them what they want, but to the extent to ensure they have nothing to look forward to? desensitize them from the feeling of knowing what it's like to be grateful and cherish something? There's a reason expensive things are lost or broken so easily and carelessly, because they come into their hands so easy that it's foreign to think a valuable item isn't easily replaceable. there are so many kids who would hold any one of those items to the highest value because they know what it's like to get nothing for christmas. I'm not saying that's how yours should feel, but they should at least know the privilege of receiving nice things. I can only hope that the large amount of money spent on their time with you now is equally invested in ensuring the quality of their futures.
Calm down Karen
@@Delirious_Bunty i’m calm not a karen i try to be a very reasonable person but don’t like to take people messing with their kids lives very lightly i don’t think she has very ill intentions, but definitely a shopping and waste problem
You're absolutely correct!
if this is what she wanted to get her kids! theres nothing wrong with that. im sure if she didnt have the money she wouldnt do it. im sure they deserve everything plus more.
@@fromanotherdayfilm you’re just jealous it’s her money she can purchase whatever they want.
The whole reason it isn't busy isn't bc if the storm, I think its more likely bc no one has any spare money this year. Christmas is gonna be lean for most of us this year tbh...!!!
32:02 „we lost all our Nintendo switch games on our recent vacation“…
So you just buy them new ones 👍🏽 great parenting !
Hope these kids won’t be privileged a*holes when they grow up since they get everything they want, lose em, get em again 👍🏽 if they don’t end up as rich CZcamsrs but have a normal job - how will they survive life?
It isn’t your business or concern
Unsubscribing.. she doesn’t even remember what she has bought these kids. She just goes and buys crap they already have
i’m sure out of over 1 million subscribers she will be gutted to lose you.
Would be great if Alicia could find a local small business toy store to buy all these toys at (target haul). With the money she spends, it really could make a difference to a small business owner. Shop local; support small !!!
Great point! This would be so wonderful for a small business for sure x
If only small businesses can provide toys kids want.
Last time I checked small businesses don’t make most of the things on a kids Christmas list. They also charge a whole lot more.
Look at you being the morality police 🤣
@@BaileeBrooklyn someone has to or else the world just continues to be ignorant
No kid on earth needs all of this stuff!
Amen ! So much stuff 😳
Maybe not your kids
Yes they do lol
your two kids making hot cocoa is so precious. I love how excited they are
Love it! 🧡🧡🧡
Spend 30k on gifts that they k Jw and see they will get and then make “hot chocolate” with water. Top tier parenting.
@@DoughertyDozen hey she has the money...lucky kids....must be nice.....
how did you lose all the switch games on your vacation? Surely the hotel should have kept any left items and contacted you or kept them safe if you'd contacted them?
Would be lovely to see you get the children and do gift bags for foster kids in care ! I see other utube foster families do this and it makes my heart overflow .Maybe your family can pay it forward to others less fortunate
I wouldn't be afraid to bet you $1,000 that she would be vilified from the haters if she did a vlog like that, would be accused of showing their donations ONLY for views. Seems like no matter what Alicia does, someone is going to rip her to shreds in the comments
She would never do that lol because she couldn't make a video on it and make money off of those children like she does her own
@@Pandora_369 You're right about that! Some of these comments are uncalled for. She obviously loves her family and takes very good care of them, in every way possible.
The delusion of her fans is seriously disturbing… Open your eyes!
You may not know this if you are new, but she used to run a supply closet out of her house for other foster families before covid. But I agree that it would be great to see content like that!
The Dougherty's should be investing into 529 College Savings Plans.
@@8luvbug why??
@@8luvbug that either wasn't a serious comment or she meant that they will not force the kids to go to college. Both Josh and Alicia have a college education. Josh is still a teacher and Alicia was one for years. Do you honestly think they wouldn't want their kids to go to college??? 🙄
@@sallorby7130 Both Josh and Alicia have college degrees and both work/ have worked as teachers. Of course they want their kids to go to college if that's what the kids choose to do.
That dude at the apple store was elated😂 That commission check is going to be great for the holiday season
I wonder why he talked her out of getting ear phones too then
We don’t get commission at apple
AS employees don’t get commission.
awh man well that sucks
Right haha!
Bree‘s handwriting is soo beautiful
“there is no age limit on fun!” so true! love watching your videos! wishing you & your family a happy holidays 🧡🧡
I love bree so much, she’s exactly who I was til like age 14 and I could never find any friends that loved dolls like me
Yes same!!!
James is so sweet!!! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Yes 🙌🙌🙌
Instead of worrying about buying her kids stuff, they already have. She needs to worry about buying a bigger house to fit her family.
Why should she? They love.their neighborhood, their property, and their schools.
@@Pandora_369 Exactly. I don't get how people cannot comprehend that there is a lot that goes into deciding where to live, especially with 12 kids in 5 different schools.
@@Pandora_369 maybe because the kids live in dingy, cramped conditions with not enough bathrooms, a faulty septic tank and on a busy road.
Yea I get claustrophobic everytime I see her small home with a those kids, adults, animals, plus all the heaps of clothes & material items/food she buys each week 😳
@@Pandora_369 because half the kids are either using a small closet as a bedroom or cramped together in a room.
You are such a wonderful mother, you have great children, also your so patient. God bless you and your family ❤
Their Christmas List's are ADORABLE 🥺
Yes 🙌🙌🙌
Iphone 14 plus ipad? So every kid gets presents worth of over minimum 5k. That's ridiculous
YES
What a blessing to be able to knock out all that shopping at once! I have to pace myself and my pockets starting in September. Merry Christmas Dougherty's!
I am sure they can afford it. But when it is not normal to spend this much money on kids for Christmas or in general, is it me or is it bothersome that they spend this much money on their kids. I think in one one or another it will make there kids not understand the true value of money in the long term. This is not a hate comment, It is just a observation coming from someone who grew up in the dirt and had to really work hard to get out.
You spend money on all this junk but your still not hooked up to the sewer system to be able to use a washer and dryer? Weird.
They cannot control sewer, she has said many times that it is a city issue.
@@darlenes1222, she could just put a new septic system in for less than what she spends on all this stuff.
They are moving and buying a different house she says so why spend the money
Nope it’s not weird.I do think it’s weird to be unkind though. 🤷🏽♀️
Why does and 8 year old need $100+ chain because he has to have what a 16 year old has? Let them be 8 and let the 16 year old be 16 and different from the littles
My parents were big on jewelry. Started with a bracelet and broche as a newborn..
It’s probably break or get lost within the month
Why do you people watch. Just to complain. You raise your kids your way and let her raise her kids her way
The world is different to an 8 year old then it was when you were 8! If a kid wants a chain why are they not allowed to get a chain? Don’t force toys you think are fun or what you think a 8 year old should have. You’d be wasting money
I just want to know y does it matter to u what she buys her children
Love this! Watching this in July knowing I’m gonna have to start shopping for my two soon. I’d love to be able to just grab things without thinking. You’ve raised great kids x
Man I am so happy that my mom and dad didn’t raise me to be spoiled the way you are raising your kids. My dad grew up during WWII and he worked from the time he was 9 years old until 65 and my 2 sisters and myself would never have dreamt of asking for $120 shoes! I have more respect for my parents because they taught us that if we wanted something we WORKED for it. There are people that are struggling and having to decide do they buy food or pay rent and your out buying a iPad for a 4 year old?
Jealous much?
James is such a good helper and big brother 🧡
Yes he is, and disproving all those people making comments about spoilt children. X
*I'VE SAID OVER AND OVER HOW LOVING AND ATTENTIVE ALEX IS TOO*
Yes he is
@@Al........yes!!! It’s so obvious how genuinely sweet and good hearted all the kids are.
after he screamed at her for being impatient? lmao ok
I pray you all have a wonderful Christmas and appreciate the gifts you’ll be getting. I’m getting a $45 pair of sneakers and a pair of glove that were half priced sale. And I’m so grateful to get those items because my hands won’t be cold and my 4 yr old sneakers can finally go in the garbage. Dang, my sneakers are older than Harlee! 😝
🧡🧡🧡
I hope you have a merry Christmas!
@@michibmoon - Aww, thank you so very much! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
@@DogLover_365 why does she have to say something about a stranger's personal situation. Why is that grown person telling the world they can't get it together for themselves?
@@mikalasimpson7789 help them out then instead of expecting someone who picked up 8 extra mouths to feed to. You do YOUR part.
I 💙🧡 ALL your Kiddos! They are ALL really good kids! Thank you for ALL the things!!
These kids will have NO clue what the value of a dollar is and how to work for what you want. She is doing a huge disservice to them. Christmas is like everyday.
If your parents had as much money as them would they want to spoil you?
Props to the Apple Store employees for not making you lug around those iPads. I was worried for you at first, phew! 🧡
😂😂😂
When you constantly buy such excess for your kids it becomes an expectation and nothing becomes special anymore
For the IPads, I have one with the keyboard case like that through my university. I like it, but it doesn’t offer much protection. It attaches via magnet so it comes off really easily. I would get screen protectors for the littles and crash cases. I drop mine all the time and it hasn’t broken yet, but the keyboard/case detaches when the IPad falls.
I wish I could just do a small portion of this for my daughter. We are just doing cookies and movies and crafts on Christmas this year.
Wonderful parenting comes in all different shapes and sizes. Your Christmas sounds lovely. ❤️
Honestly I think your Christmas sounds better and will be more memorable for you children with true love.
Your Christmas will be what your daughter remembers for years/decades to come. Gifts are fun of course, but nobody as an adult remembers what they got for Christmas as an 8yo. Enjoy your holidays
Honestly that’s more memorable then $20,000 worth of presents 🤍
That sounds wonderful
Thank you Alicia there's no age limit on having fun I'm 39 and I love unicorns well said 👏
🧡🧡🧡
the way alex’s list said “expensive chain” is crazy
So true.
Seriously I’m confused??? The kids can watch these videos right? Or do you block them? So basically no surprise??? So basically made this video for the money ????
I've always wondered this as well. There are tons of parents posting these videos and my kids always say don't their kids have youtube.
@@porkchop95 a short while ago one of the kids was having a birthday and she said she wasn’t going to film the shopping because the kids can watch her channel.. but because her spending tons of money for Christmas shopping will get a whole lot of views which equals popularity and of course money and a tax write of and probably endorsements it just doesn’t matter if kids are surprised or not! It was done for all the wrong reasons which is becoming more and more common with her.
Yes Alicia! Hula hoops are fun for every age. I'm 39 and want a hula hoop too. I use to play with a hula hoop when I was much younger. The good ol' days.
🧡🧡🧡
Consider ordering Beddys bedding for the kids. The top zips to the bottom. They’re great for bunk beds and for just making beds in general. Just a suggestion. Maybe Zoey might like that!
I saw those on living with cambreias channel too. They look great!
Would definitely make life easier
Buying them thousands of dollars of items will not help their trauma or what you are putting them through. Stand up for the kids!
Says a random handle.
What now? You know she does the world for the besides spending right? She takes care of all their needs including mental that your so worried about. It's funny how we only get snippets of their days but folks are quick as heck to judge. Here's a hug. Have a blessed Christmas
@@kandydewey1286 when the truth comes out i hope y’all feel bad for supporting someone who treats their kids this way. i’m genuinely embarrassed you think this is true…. clearly most people don’t understand 90% of social media isn’t real, she’s been exposed so many times and you guys actively chose not to look at the evidence (aka words straight out of the kids mouths that she posted) if you cared about the children you would do better for them since she clearly NEVER will till everyone sees who she is
@@hallie7256 can you explain? this is my first video of theirs, was just looking through christmas hauls
@mint
Tfs your trip with us!! Merry Christmas to all u guys!! Zoey is beautiful and so sweet! Keep doing u guys! Not sure why folks watch and then make mean comments 🤔! You are strong!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🧡
James is such a sweetie
🧡🧡🧡
Oh yeah! I don’t remember him getting any specific things now that I think of it 🫤
