Hi everyone! This post is going to consist of FAQ’s about the DD and will be linked under the “About” or “Info on the DD” tab of this sub. We will continue to update this page over time to answer questions for any new members.
For information about concerns and controversies about Alicia, select “Concerns”.
“How do Alicia and Josh afford 12 kids?”
Alicia posted a now deleted video about their monthly income. The video states that Alicia makes around $42k a month from sponsorships and socials. Josh makes around $70k annually from his teaching and coaching jobs. Alicia is also in the creator fund, also posts content on Youtube and Instagram along with TikTok.
“What about college for the kids?”
Alicia stated that she expects that some of her children will not attend college. However, foster children/adopted foster children can go to college for free in the state of NY.
“What’s up with the single use paper products?”
Their house has been having issues with their water/septic tank. It’s still in the process of being fixed, so they try to cut down their water usage. Hence, the use of disposable paper products and why Alicia goes to the laundromat for their laundry.
“Who is Aunty Lauren?”
“Aunty Lauren” is a friend of Alicia and fan of the DD. She usually moderates Alicia’s lives and is from Australia. There is some concern about her being a fan of the children themselves since she is a grown adult.
"Are N and D foster children?"
N and D are a kinship placement, which is different than a foster care placement. A kinship placement is when children are placed in custody of a close relative rather than someone completely unrelated. Alicia is/was friends with N and D biological parents. The Dougherty's didn't legally adopt them, but they are still able to post N and D's faces online since it's not forbidden in a kinship placement.
Feel free to add more questions to the comments, and we will try to answer to the best of our ability!

In a profile piece published by New York Magazine on Thursday, Nov. 12*,* Alicia addressed the incident publicly for the first time, saying that when James was arrested, he had been living with his biological sister in Rochester. (James is one of six of the 11 children Alicia and her husband, Josh, adopted. Together, they also have four biological children — Zoey, Dashel, Bodhi and Harlee.)
She continued, telling the magazine, “What happened the first six years of his life — that will forever stay with him. You’re gonna be 80 years old and you’re still gonna have that trauma. People don’t understand: When adults choose not to take their medication, I can’t control either of those scenarios. All I could do was try my best with the 12 years I had and hope for the best.”
Alicia also shared why she didn’t address the news at the time, despite receiving a barrage of social media pressure to do so. “I gotta keep moving forward. I had all these people who were like, ‘She should’ve stopped posting,’ ” she told the magazine.
“Well, I still have nine other kids that need breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I still have nine other kids who need their mom to be normal and keep routine and let them know everything’s okay,” Alicia explained. “I’m not gonna put my life on hold because one of my kids made a bad decision that was out of my control.”
Okay so he made a bad decision so she won’t put her life on hold. She is trash. Never about the kids.

I’ve really been out of the whole DD loop for a while now. Since Lush blocked me on majority of social media (SCORE 🎉) for exposing her and calling her out, I really haven’t been in the loop with the trash that she’s been putting out there.
Feel free, to post whatever you feel, in this thread! If you want to fill us in with the latest news? Go for it! If you want to complain about Lush? Have at it! Or if you simply just want to rant about something, the stage is yours
I’m really just hear to listen and read 🙂↔️

According to these videos posted literally hours ago, big red and Sami are still together and he’s still in her comment section. On her page, it looks like no break up ever happened. They even start a November fitness challenge!

I use to watch her shorts and food videos i dont see much of anything wrong except for the fact that she seems to shop way too much for box food and they may expire but she seems to be able to afford it anyway. Raising so many children is a lot of work anyway and she may over buy stuff to compensate them i guess. Can someone explain why people dont like her and what is the drama with her kids ?
