DAY IN A LIFE AS A MOM TO 12 KIDS

[@violanorkus9575]

I’m Alicia, but it drove me nuts watching clean up a room that most likely took you most of you4 morning to do. The ch8ld should be responsible, and old enough to clean the room him/her self. They mess it up, then clean it. You should only be responsible for the ones under 10 yrs old. That room was a disgrace. That child should be picking up, and cleaning up after itself. Your not their slave!

[@sarahludos7970]

I agree! I know that we need to let kids be kids and that is good. I just feel they treat Alicia like a maid and sugar mommy!!! She is such a kind soul and works hard, many times it is not necessary when kids can do some of it. I usually watch all her videos but going to start skip some of these for these reasons.

[@shaylaranae7920]

Honestly under 10 they can still to some degree clean up their own room or with the help of a older sibling

[@skyrobinson3829]

[@Geovana0914]

Guys she dosent care that her kids don’t do chores, she gets to record doing everything for them and getting called super mom for doing it. I used to enjoy her channel but she became very obnoxious with the money spending. She just worries about content and what triggers people now

@Alisha Smith she needs to show some kindness and respect towards her kids and their privacy. She completely invaded their privacy going through every single thing in that room.

[@revaphim]

I do not think Neveah cares that her room is posted on KZbin, considering she has her own TikTok account and posts herself in her room on there. I love the flipflopping of your hatred towards Alicia: first why she didn't make her sick child clean her room when she's (Neveah) already going through a lot, and THEN about privacy once your comment didn't go your way any longer. Incredibly interesting. Maybe try to show some sympathy for a change instead of being a keyboard warrior with your face and name plastered online.

She does none of these. She can’t handle the amount of children she has. She’s forgetting pajama day and show and tell. Things that are important to 5-8 year olds. She’s not even there for. Not to mention the amount of junk she feeds them. They will struggle immensely with food when they’re older and move out.

[@nikkyro03]

Unpopular opinion below. So she can go thru their stuff and break/take any sense of privacy or trust they have, it seems. This is a good way to make sure your kids start hiding things and lying. Trust me. I grew up with this and I know many other who have too. Most as adults in our 40s/50s still dont tell our parents much about our lives because there's never been that level of trust or comfort. Treat your kids like they are their own person and they have rights and you trust and respect them. Please. Smh. These kids are in such trouble. Their adulthood is going to be a shock when real life hits them and they are unprepared to actually be a productive member of society. Im not debating my OPINIONS. Im not trying argue. I know many with these kind of parents and know what I saw and still see from those situations. If you want, come back in 10 years when some of them are adulting and we can debate then. Im allowed to think what I want and no one will change my mind. I loved DDs vid at first until I picked up the red flags and noticed similarities.

[@nikkyro03]

And for those saying "BUT ThE kIdS aRe SiCk"....1.if hygiene was better, at least one person there wouldnt constantly be sick and they all wouldn't continually pass around illnesses. Sneezing all over, coughing, not washing hands and touching everything. 2. Some of those rooms have been a mess for a hot minute. Waiting a day or two, even 3 more days, until the kid feels better def isnt hurting anything. Seriously. And if they are sick. She needs to be doing deeper cleans of those sick kids beds/rooms. They should get all clean sheets, things should be wiped down with something that kills germs and all, i wont even be picky about what she should clean with, cleaners choice as long as it kills the germs too. My EXHUSBAND was brought up like this and looked at me like i was his mom and cant do things for himself. Its a BIG NOPE for me.

They are kids, all those kids help, in a 7 person household myself dishes pile up every two seconds that’s my chore but I have siblings that have other chores that help me sometimes, it’s nice of them when they don’t have too. She does the laundry since they have a tank and have been working to have it not go to there tank anymore since 12 kids alone = so much more water soap and bathroom stuff, that means cleaning out that tank happens more often and can be hella expensive each time, try to open up your view to different types of parenting and don’t shame families for the way they function unless it’s a genuine concern to the safety and well-being to the parents and or children.

@@ruthpmj 🤷‍♀️ I don't know if/ how many services function in their area.

@@hayahilton ??? She has said many times that they need to plan quick showers throughout the day to avoid using too much water. And I used to live at a house with a broken septic system - does that count as research??? She is doing exactly what we did until we were able to get on city water.

Harlee is just the cutest when she does her affirmations with you🥰

Why do you have to clean your teenagers room 😢

[@Tatas1999]

My kid would be so angry at me if I went into their room (my older kids) and went through stuff and cleaned/organized without them there.

[@sssfsshtscfjyv7600]

Not mine...I do and they tell me I'm the best. 💓

why is her tongue purple first thing in the morning?

Let some 🌞 sunshine in that room. For kinship Teach them skills they can use when they have to go back to their mom.

Why don't your kids clean their own rooms?

[@For-theloveoflife]

Oh my the laundry… please please please tell us if you have an update on the septic system issue 🤞🤞. I had a family of 6 I just couldn’t even imagine the laundry for 14. My heart goes out to you ❤

[@madisonray6574]

You’re so pretty and you have such a beautiful family💕

[@barbaraciprane2250]

Don’t you think you should something with sewer system?

[@therains14]

It’s up to the city not them. Unfortunately that can take a very long time.

[@Thatgirl294]

Real invasion of privacy! Plus she needs to clean her own room !

[@moonlitskylight5740]

Can I ask, why do you think, genuine question. Why do you think your words will have any affect om her life? I honestly want to know why so many think this?

[@lucyzoey5840]

Hi Alicia!.It's nice to see the kids helping you. Emily from Kentucky

[@ParkorPlays]

Just a tip: ask for a “Baja blast freeze” to get the slushy version of the Baja blast drink 🥰

[@jenflowers7392]

What a horrible or invasion of privacy for a teenager! My mum would never have gone through my room like this cleaning or not! They I the internet for the world to see is awful. Not to mention embarring . Poor kids

[@LearnVBA]

Yup, well said!

[@zoey2275]

Kids need to clean their own rooms, especially teenagers. 🥴🥴 If they know how to make a mess, they know how to clean it.

[@patriciaokeefe1866]

When I was young I would get allowance every week if I made my bed and cleaned my room everyday. Also I washed dishes to. There was a stool in front of the kitchen sink. Also I would go to my grandmother's house and help her too.

[@BriaBarrows]

Jason and Jordan did such a great job helping

[@bethwilt3483]

I can’t even process how much you spend a week on laundry. I give you so much credit doing this for the whole family. I would be doing everything in my power to get my septic fixed and be able to use my washer and dishwasher.

[@impressionisticartist3886]

First...the septic tank can't handle 14 people living in that house...they need to put in a huge septic for that many people. Can you imagine the amount of water going through the drain field, etc.? Also, she has a huge... 7-figure income from videos on her social media platforms.

[@sssfsshtscfjyv7600]

It's up to the town...you can stand on your head and it won't change things...you must not own a home

[@stefanierice9267]

why don't the older children clean their own rooms?

[@Juliejules1219]

Never used a laundromat before, but may have to soon since I’m moving into a place with no washer which honestly kills me lol just wondering do they sanitize them or clean them or can you run a cycle with bleach or vinegar before washing your clothing?

[@vickery8205]

Bree is such a doll ❤

[@constantinajenningsrn3216]

I luv your videos alicia especially the day in the life vlogs, you do so so so so so much for your family, I honestly feel like the kiddos should clean there rooms though and that can be a way for them to give back to you to show their appreciation for all you do for them ❤️
