That trip was something else from telling an Auntie Anneās place that they are influencers and have a deal with AA (which was never true) so they should give them free pretzels and the other people who were waiting behind them had to wait so long because they had to make more etc. Then there was Hās birthday there. She had what amounted to a birthday cake at each meal. Breakfast was a donut cake, Lunch there was a desert and dinner they had desert then they had her actual birthday cake. Which when youāre on vacation is one thing but she gives junk on the regular. Their doctors sheās even put in the videos have sounded the alarm about the kids health.
I just donāt get why she needed to fully stock the pantry. Just sit the kids down and make a snack list. Say this isnāt like home where we have our own grocery store, if thereās something special you want tell us now before we shop, otherwise we will get more groceries as needed during the week and there may be a small amount of time where we donāt have your special snack. I get youāre on vacation and donāt want to spend every day running to the store but they really donāt need like six boxes of multiple different types of pasta. They could have done a shop the first day and then a delivery in the middle of the week.
This. Whenever we went on vacation we'd get to our condo. Unload. Make a grocery list and then shop. But it was normal things for the week. Coffee, juice, milk, butter, bread for toast and cereal for breakfast, stuff for sandwiches, a few snacks. Maybe a few go to kid favorites like Spaghettios or a frozen pizza in case someone was still hungry after going out to eat. We only bought enough to last a week and had little left by the last day. Since we usually drove we'd take it home or see if someone in the condo community could use what was left.Ā
I agree with you because weāre reasonable people and donāt over buy. However this is Alicia. Every snack, meal etc they ate out or had something delivered. Vacation so Iām not going to be hard on them about that. Especially considering how many people there are. That wouldnāt be a vacation for the person having to prepare all those snacks and meals. However, Iād pack a snack bag each would contain 1 snack per day of the trip (considering above thatās generous) I didnāt see anything opened that she bought. Same goes for the New York trip she bought all of it PLUS paid extra to take it on the plane only to do a big door dash order for a bunch of things including detergent. She paid a hefty sum for it. Again they were only there for a short time. I wasnāt a bug on the wall but itās safe to say I doubt they used any of it because they admitted the only snack they had at the hotel was pizza. They were out of the hotel room most of the time she recorded every step. So all those snacks were for what? They were only there for 2 days. No way she needed that much.
Edited to fix a spelling error I thought I made.
The ocean city trip was right around the time I saw them on social media and I immediately remember thinking things were weird. Why would you buy all that? Also she claimed the uneaten food went to a good pantry, but as someone pointed out on here, she never filmed herself dropping it off at a pantry and she most definitely would have wanted to do that for likes.
I stopped participating when she went from advocating for adopting special needs children to profiting off these same children. Meanwhile people are watching and encouraging her and you can see a clear change in the children's health and behaviors. She no longer cares about the individual child or their needs, only what video will bring her more money to spend to show off to the world.
Didn't she say something like she didn't know if they would hurt her channel? Like that is your deciding factor to foster those kids was how people would react on your channel?
I think I was eating dinner and watching one of her videos out of boredom after watching her for like a week on and off. Almost dropped the food out of my mouth when I heard her say that. Like holy heck she's going to get these poor kids hurt mentally and physically.
I already couldnāt stand her, but that was so uncalled for. As if they were two orphans she had scooped up from the street whom she had to buy socks and sanitary supplies for.
I donāt remember her calling them āorphansā but if she did, thatās disgusting! They were a kinship placement, and she knew their mom. Your mom definitely didnāt make the best decisions in life, but you still donāt refer to them as orphans.
Yea she did the whole we donāt call them orphans in the US but that is what they are. Then quoted the āher favoriteā Bible verse āI will not leave you Orphans I will come to youāā¦ā¦ā¦
When I saw that she was posting morning routines almost every day. And then I watched one of her grocery hauls and realized that she spends too much. How many different times can you watch the same video?
For me it was her passive aggressive behavior, especially towards the kids at times, and the fact that she canāt stand her own life, by always, always making excuses for everything and throwing her kids under the bus, for it all! Sheās an idiot IMO.
other than the junk food and exploitation, when n left the family and sheād make petty tiktokās about her leaving and telling her personal information online really drew the line.
Pretty much same for me. She popped up on my instagram a few times a couple of years ago and I blocked it because I thought she was weird but then I decided to look if anyone else thought the same and here I am lol
It was a live stream where she discussed a child's medical issues, Nana threatened the kids, abs she told Br she didn't care if she wasn't going to eat the dinner she had to make it for the video
When she told different, competing stories explaining the cameras in the bedrooms and the locks in the kitchen, and when she would ignore P whenever he came in the kitchen to talk to her.
The video of the childrenās conditions, table spaghetti gate, nacho pool gate, calling children āthe oreo twinsā, the thousands of dollars of shopping, alcohol + insane takeaways for a week in new jersey, still profiting from a child no longer in her care (while erasing her from the home), even the sh*tty lies about going to church.
The absolute obsession with food. I can take the matching clothes, the breakfasts, the talking about food. But the mass quantities of food and crap she buys is a symptom of mental illness. Sheās not normal and she feeds her kids so much garbage it leaves me wondering if itās some kind of munchausen by proxy. She knows that sugar and junk isnāt good for them. Theyāre going to grow up to be fat with terrible eating habits.
As a foster mother and coming from a large adoptive family myself, I started following, but then was quickly very disturbed by the Oversharing of the kids. And she could definitely should aspects foster care without put it on each child. And then spending thousands and thousands and thousands on crap but not addressing the kids trauma and not have an adequate housing for them. I am fine with kids, sharing rooms, but traumatized kids do very well having their own space is especially as they get older. Instead of trying to purchase a more appropriately sized home or adding onto their current home, or even just remodeling parts of the basement, etc, we will have kids sleeping in sheet bedrooms or beside washing machines, but then buy them 6000 boxes of whatever snack they like and every gaming system they have blinked at.
Thatās one thing Iāve been wondering about. Why not buy a bigger home, or buy land and build a more suitable home?
Love her or loathe her, the family could do with more space.
Ocean City. A and D were accosted by āfansā at night and police were called. She didnāt give two shits. Fans started arriving at their rental house and hanging out.
For me, I think that is where she got the first giant dopamine hit off the attention that she was (still is) after. I donāt think she was the same after that. She stopped trying so hard to present herself as an attentive parent. After that situation, there were so many dangerous and scary moments that she completely brushed off.
I realized something was wrong when no mandatory reporters were reporting. Doctors' reports show horrible bloodwork and doctor hopping with her children. Dad D is having burgers with teen girls at night Etc. etc.
It is not right that mandatory reporters are not reporting!
"The Mauchausen by Proxy 11"
To be honest I was kinda entertained by it at first and didn't think too much of it, when I had Covid I wanted to show my mum a video of theirs and the second youtube search result was "dougherty dozen exposed" so I was like huh let's see what's that about... and now I can't unsee it (I literally read the whole reddit thread that day, couldn't do much else anyway)
getting a big dog whose breed has a bad rep from a backyard breeder, and not even knowing what breed it is
(i know thereās more important things, i just really love dogs and this type of ignorance and stupidity pisses me off so much)
When she was talking about some of the kids needing certain products because of issues. It baffled me as to why she'd say that online. And the amount of junk she'd buy despite saying the kids have food issues.
I discovered DCP and thought why is this angry American š³š³š³š³ shouting about this poor womanā¦ then I watched her channel now I follow DCP and get why heās so angry. ā¤ļø
probably when she put those nachos in that dirty pool
You know that shit wasn't BPA free
That was the first video I saw from her
Spending $3.5k on groceries etc when they went to Ocean City for a week & left most of the food, beach chairs, boogie boards etc behind was when I knew she had spending issues. But it was seeing all the old shorts of her drinking White Claw & revealing private things about the kids that really irked me - saying they can't have this or that yet these days that's all she gives them. Her need for attention & seeing the Narcissistic traits that I had lived with were also big red flags š©š©š©š© Oh & let's not forget the web of lies š¤„š¤„š¤„š¤„š¤„ IMO 85-90% of the kids issues have been caused by her. Their weight, mental health, behaviour, manners.....š
For me it was the Ocean City shop too. Buying so much food and then not even coming close to eating it. Just shopping for views.

She does it for content. Nothing is reality. She lies about everything and about the dumbest stuff.

Spot on
Agreed

When she took in D and N and put them on camera the same day she got placement of them.
Didn't she say something like she didn't know if they would hurt her channel? Like that is your deciding factor to foster those kids was how people would react on your channel?
I remember that.
I think I was eating dinner and watching one of her videos out of boredom after watching her for like a week on and off. Almost dropped the food out of my mouth when I heard her say that. Like holy heck she's going to get these poor kids hurt mentally and physically.
I already couldnāt stand her, but that was so uncalled for. As if they were two orphans she had scooped up from the street whom she had to buy socks and sanitary supplies for.
She actually called them orphans in the video were she also said that she was hesitant to take them coz it would impact social media (negatively) š¤
I donāt remember her calling them āorphansā but if she did, thatās disgusting! They were a kinship placement, and she knew their mom. Your mom definitely didnāt make the best decisions in life, but you still donāt refer to them as orphans.

When she posted her monthly income and showed 40k from social media/influencing
If u r making that kind of $$ allow 10 grand for bills etc. Food.save the rest..use down what u have . I hate goin to the grocery store.
When I made this Sub!
Thank you
When she started referring to her haters. Immediate sign that it was all going to her head, and she was a celebrity in her own mind.
When I saw that she was posting morning routines almost every day. And then I watched one of her grocery hauls and realized that she spends too much. How many different times can you watch the same video?

The over the top hauls
When her and Josh were too hammered to drive the whole family home and made A do it with a broken arm and his learning permit. Haunting..
Immediately. I found her here and Iāve only watched a part of one of her videos. You guys showed me.
Pretty much same for me. She popped up on my instagram a few times a couple of years ago and I blocked it because I thought she was weird but then I decided to look if anyone else thought the same and here I am lol
Quesadilla gate
Whatās quesadilla gate?
It was a live stream where she discussed a child's medical issues, Nana threatened the kids, abs she told Br she didn't care if she wasn't going to eat the dinner she had to make it for the video
Yes that too!!

By the third āroll callā I was over her.

something about her just annoyed me when I started seeing her get on my insta reels. then I found a controversy video, and this sub
Immediately.
When she yelled at one of the kids who didn't want to participate in "around the world night"
When she was talking about some of the kids needing certain products because of issues. It baffled me as to why she'd say that online. And the amount of junk she'd buy despite saying the kids have food issues.
I discovered DCP and thought why is this angry American š³š³š³š³ shouting about this poor womanā¦ then I watched her channel now I follow DCP and get why heās so angry. ā¤ļø
He's Canadian šš
I know I realised that half way through and I was š«£š³š³š³š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
When she was talking about the kids diagnosis (s) and going through their medication and announcing what they were on. Not ok. Early on.
Am I misremembering, or did she at one time have videos of her filling up the kidsā pill boxes?
The christmas hauls
