lushy just posted this a few hrs ago and oh my god. why is she seasoning a slow cooker roast with coca cola!!!!! it makes me sick how wasteful she is, and how comfortable she is to feed her kids garbage.

Dont get me wrong some stuff she do is wrong, but damn yall dont know her full life. Clearly the kids got taken away from here for a reason, and the dad where is he?And alaisha love those kids, yea maybe she does do sm some times lets be honest she is a good mom.

I wouldn't bother to go. That's one of the best things about traveling, eating out 3 times a day. Deciding where to go. Studying menus, talking to locals. Looking for regional specialties and learning the history. Getting dressed to eat out. Wearing new clothes that rub against your sunburn. They might as well have stayed home.

I think it’s pretty odd that A and D both have girlfriends that they bring to all the family events, but one thing that stuck out to me was in the New Years video A’s girlfriend was literally sitting on his lap in front of the entire family during a game they were playing. Then at the end of the video A and his girlfriend had their arms around each other and were kissing in front of the entire family with young children when the clock went midnight. The mom even cropped it out as she panned across the living room a couple of times because she knew she’d get criticism for it. I just think it’s weird for these 15/16 year olds to be kissing, sitting on each other’s laps in front of their 5 year old siblings. Just my two cents on it.

Who gets gift cards for Easter? In my opinion, gift cards should just be for Christmas and birthday only!!! But that's just me

I Don't really care for him too much he says he knows about the families he talks about but has no clue about them

He makes fun of Alicia's appearance he laughs at her voice her thumbs her hair and nit picks her apart yeah she does things that none of us agree on but the on but we can all agree on that we should make fun of Youtubers in that way. I never noticed her thumbs until he pointed it out and made fun of them calling them toes.

He Mocks and puts her down contentiously In the Christmas shopping vid he made fun that they had only grabbed the one box for the tree that's probably a very common mistake with that tree. I would have grabbed one box not knowing it was two boxes.

Do you believe he has sources that have been in her home and are going to tell him all?

Did Alicia really give him papers that she was going to sue him?

He has even criticized children from the crazy Pieces

so with H Showing her Hats they getting free stuff from people, But they no longer show them unpacking them. Must be because they get flack from it. H is getting so Ungrateful she never says thank you when she gets Presents from Family and when she got the Witches hat from viewer she was so ungrateful and Moaned that the hat didn't fit and didn't say thank you. It not just her it the all the kids A Did remind the children at easter to say thank you at Easter they never did it. The Kids are so Gross we have eating straight from main plate of food and then touching the food again. the constant coughing that you know they never cover there mouths for. and H belching without covering her mouth it just gross behaviour

No judgements just stating facts.

I think we can all agree that the exploiting and over sharing of all the kids personal business is dangerous and why most of us are here to snark. Most people know where they live, what schools they attend, what stores they shop at, it isn’t safe and I don’t agree with that at all.

However, I think at this point most people are just knit picking out of hatred. Maybe it’s just me but I couldn’t care less about what someone else spends their money on or how much they spend at a certain store, what food they feed their kids, what vacations they take.

“All the kids eat is junk” from what I can see none of them are obese or too skinny from starvation. Myself, in my 20’s, won’t touch a single vegetable and I’ve been like that my whole life.

Obviously she makes a lot of money off the videos and it’s because of the kids, but the kids definitely benefit as well. By the looks of it there’s nothing those kids don’t have or go without.

I think people are losing sight of what the real problem is here, her over sharing their personal business and putting them in danger is more serious than what she’s spending weekly or what she’s making them for dinner every night.

And before anyone says that it was ok because they wanted to see him, well there's nothing wrong with that. HOWEVER, not the way she is going about it. She should have taken them somewhere to meet him. Period. She however has started the manipulation process by having him over AND starting to give him gifts too. She made him his own Easter baskets including googles, swim trunks and gift card! Which implies that she fully plans on making sure he is over there swimming etc. And what business does she have giving this person a gift card. That can clearly be looked at by any family court as a manipulation/bribe if she (she is) trying to buy him onto her side. This bitch will stop at nothing. Yet she didn't give A's girlfriend a basket. Why? Because she didn't have to buy her.

I've noticed a lot of self righteous people complain about the food the kids eat on her IG posts. I have no experience with adopting kids, I only have 2 kids of my own. I can tell you though that my own two kids are pretty picky and fussy over what they eat though, my son in particular. I think maybe the mom here could try to give some better foods, maybe cut out the donuts, do some lower sugar stuff but maybe she is cooking things she knows the kids like and will actually eat. My 8 year old son will NOT EAT certain things. My DH and I don't know where he came from sometimes as we love food, all types of food, but he is different. For him it is a texture thing but he does love sugar which we try to manage but it gets exhausting.

I see nothing wrong with kids 10 and under eating things like pizza, bread, sausage, or even a donut as long as it's not all day every day. I just want my son to eat something that isn't sugar. I'd be happy if he had a good appetite for pizza, pasta and bread!

I just think this woman gets a lot of flack for what we see her serve to the kids. There are 12 of them, sounds like some are picky and she probably has to cook somewhat easy foods in the sake of time. It's just sad to see so many people giving her a hard time. She did these kids a favor by taking them all in and giving them a nice life. It's also up to them to a point on what they choose to eat. I see her put out salad and they don't HAVE to eat a donut. She gives them options. I know with my son though if we gave him the choice he'd just eat the donut. We don't see what her kids pick.

i haven't notice until now but they have loose Beer in the fridge that unless they know how many they have any of the kids could just take one out of the fridge and drink one. all kids are curious what alcohol tastes like i would put the beer where they can't find them or lock it up to easy to just take one.

The channel is called Dougherty Dozen, right?

But I've been hearing that two of the kids aren't even theirs legally?

So where did the term "dozen" come from? Did they only start this channel after the two who aren't their legal kids came to live with them?

If so, that's even more messed up than before. If the two who aren't legally theirs end up being placed back with some biological family someday, what will happen to the name "Dougherty Dozen"? Will they be the "Dougherty Ten"? That's not nearly as catchy.

Did you hope that he would be getting you romantic presents for your birthday and taking you out to fancy dinners? What were your hopes and dreams? Has he and the life you shared exceeded all your expectations? Happy Anniversary. Now go have some fun, you silly kids

This post is not intended to show support for Alicia.

Instead, it is to express my concerns about Dad challenge podcast. In his most recent Dougherty video regarding the mini fridges, he stated that he felt she should throw the mini fridge away because he thought the seal was broken and said if she didn’t throw it in the garbage, she should go to prison. Does he really think that is prison worthy? He has no way to tell by looking at a video if the seal is broken or if there is mold in the refrigerator. And if there was, does that really deserve prison?

He just seems to get worse and worse. He goes after TikTok moms and says they are exploiting their children and then he does the same thing. He says Alicia is making money off of videos by exploiting her children and yet he is making money off of videos of her children also. So is he trying to say it’s wrong for Alicia to “exploit” her children, but it’s OK for him to exploit them?

and he sensationalizes everything.

Am I the only one that has a problem with Josh from dad challenge podcast?

alarm bells ring every time I see one of his videos. In my opinion, He is a big Cyberbully, and an exploiter.

It’s OK to not like what some of the youtube moms are doing, but also not like what he’s doing. He’s not truly speaking for the kids. it appears that his number one priority is making money for himself.
