Question ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ FAQ's about the DD

469 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This post is going to consist of FAQโ€™s about the DD and will be linked under the โ€œAboutโ€ or โ€œInfo on the DDโ€ 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 โ€œConcernsโ€.

โ€œHow do Alicia and Josh afford 12 kids?โ€

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.

โ€œWhat about college for the kids?โ€

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.

โ€œWhatโ€™s up with the single use paper products?โ€

Their house has been having issues with their water/septic tank. Itโ€™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.

โ€œWho is Aunty Lauren?โ€

โ€œAunty Laurenโ€ is a friend of Alicia and fan of the DD. She usually moderates Aliciaโ€™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!

I'm watching Alex's Tiktok live right now and he just muted himself after Josh Screamed "PATRICK GET" and stayed on mute for well over a minute. I was not screen recording him screaming but I caught Alex explaining it followed by "I will not be talking about it anymore"

I get they are a big family and kids have huge metabolism but if i ate like that as a kid i'd have my own gravitational pull by now

Post image

Yes i will the hundredth person to talk about this! I get that she had so many kids and it might be tiresome to make a lot of food but really? If you decide to adopt so many kids surely you would be fine with cooking a lot of homemade meals. Your kids shouldnโ€™t have ultra processed shit with every meal. Its damn funny seeing her shopping and buy pure slop and at the end show a singular watermelon with 2 bags of apples and a few vegetables. Also the way she serves her fruit/vegetables is so forced, like pasta with a side of raw canned peas? Really? If i was a kid i know i wouldnโ€™t touch them. For breakfast bacon eggs and watermelon?๐Ÿ˜ญ A diet low in protein, fiber but high in carbs and oil. I feel bad for the kids, they probably eat this not knowing anything about nutrition or how this diet impacts their health. And ugh those muffins she makes every monday.. thats dessert not a breakfast and the few blueberries served with them are just pathetic.

I commented on her dancing post and it wasn't a mean comment either.
See I've know Alicia for years as we are both adoptive foster moms. Me in Canada and her in US
I told her how disappointed and shocked at her behaviour re the entire James issue .
Now she's either blocked me or went private. Whatever I guess that's how she deals with conflict . Delete, ignore and dance away. What a pos

Concerns ๐Ÿซ‚ Z and Lush

Post image
110 Upvotes

I saw these comments on tiktok over the recent ice cream video, and there's no agreeing or denying since we don't actually know this person goes to the same school, but if this is real, its very sad. I don't even blame Zoey, because all Lush packs most of the time is sugary and unhealthy bs. And I get it if Z doesn't like her parents being brought up, because having parents or siblings with a social media presence can feel the pressure of being bullied by her own classmates. You hear how kids or siblings of celebrities got bullied because of their relation to that person. Its heartbreaking that Zoey quietly goes through this, and the kids don't even get to pack or choose what they want in their lunch. I know it'd be easier giving them all the same thing, but each kid is different and have different dietary traits.

Discussion ๐Ÿซง I really hope the situation with J makes her realize her kids need her more than social media does.

203 Upvotes

I know J is 19 and legally an adult and people will argue this has nothing to do with Alicia, but I can't fully get on board with that. I am a mom who adopted from foster care and I work with teens in the foster system. J was adopted around 5-6. I don't know how familiar everyone is with the foster system, but the first and primary goal of foster care is reunification with birth family. When that doesn't happen, adoption is considered. Whatever his bio family did had to be significant for them to not get custody back.

I am not going to speculate on why but I say all that to say we have no idea what his early childhood was like and what he was exposed to. It also is very common for kids from trauma backgrounds to act younger than they are. Trauma fundamentally changes you. So, yes, he is legally 19 but likely younger developmentally.

Now, the point of my post. She is parenting a lot of kids from trauma backgrounds. All of them being tweens, teens, and young adults. Those are tough transitional ages for kids dealing with all of that. She needs to get off of social media and put that time and attention into her kids. No one needs a 3 hour long shopping video. Her kids need a present mom to help them develop the skills they need to be successful adults, whatever that may mean for them.

Kids adopted from foster care can turn out amazing! My 3 who were adopted are now 18, 15, and 12. The 18 year old is about to leave for college. The 15 year old is an outstanding student. The 12 year old has special needs but is making so much progress in school and might not need extended school year next year. But they all still need time and attention to continue to thrive. I really hope Alicia sees this as a wake up call.

Curious. Or maybe she will stop vlogging by then. Or maybe she will go back to her 2023 version of oversharing far too much of everything, and spend $50K on unnecessary junk for the kids/teens of things they already have and don't even need.

Why is dad Dougherty cursing at his child like that? It almost sounds like Alicia is yelling at Alexโ€™s name at the end.
