Fill the sink with hot, soapy water. Put silverware and cups in and wash the. Next, plates and small bowls. Then pots, pans and large bowls. My parents taught me that

[@Maggs.19]

No ma’am… I would not do this. Each child needs their own basket so the laundry stays separate and organized. Each basket would get washed separately so they can then fold and put away their own laundry.

[@therains14]

That might work doing laundry at home but they go to the laundromat. That would just make things a million times more difficult.

[@therains14]

@Anon-0202 have you ever used one of those big machines? It can fit a lot of laundry. If they split all the kids clothes up, that would require them using like 10-11 machines or more. Plus more machines equals more money and not as many people will be able to do laundry there

[@Maggs.19]

@Anon-0202 - It’s not difficult. It’s only difficult for lazy people.

[@Maggs.19]

@@therains14 - She said she uses 17 machines anyway… so what’s the issue?

[@sjack4056]

That pile of laundry is absolutely ridiculous. 1-Get the septic field fixed and get a couple of washers and dryers and assign the kids a day they do their laundry or 2-Keep the kid's laundry in a basket and wash/dry one load for each of them and then put back and have them fold their own. or 3-Get a laundry service. They can afford any of the above!!

[@nkenda5157]

A few of the teens are dating, they damn well are able to do their own laundry.

[@therains14]

But they go to a laundromat so how would that be possible? The kids help load and unload and then put the laundry away.

[@carolynjentry3828]

You must not get anxiety because I would be laying in the middle of that laundry pile overwhelmed and crying. 😂 Thank you for putting life into perspective.

[@jessiepink666]

Literally part way through I'd just start crying toss everything and just cry for an hr

[@YoMama9021]

Some people are built different

[@YoMama9021]

I have two kids (twin girls) and my mother-in-law jokes about how if she did half of what I did when she was a younger mom, she wouldn’t be able to and would just lay down and cry. Almost word for word what you said. I guess it depends on the mom.😂

[@Fyrn33]

I would have given up after basket number 3! Oye!

[@colleenblake5089]

I would just shove it all in a closet and hide it 😂😂

Alicia stated that the children do have chores.

[@magretperry2203]

Why are you baking so many loaves. We all know it get tosses in the trash later😂😂😂😂

[@sarahcarlson2858]

Why fold it if your going to keep throwing it in piles?

[@TracyShead-Stamey]

Take water heat in your pans. When the water starts to boil add baking soda, when it stops foaming use a rag to wipe pan out. Cleans pretty much the toughest stuck on food.

[@debbiedebc]

That is the best method to clean up your pans.

[@joannaazar7396]

Good tip. Thanks 😊

[@TracyShead-Stamey]

@@debbiedebc You don't need harsh scrubbers and you don't need to wait all day or night for pans to soak.

[@rebeccagilkey5725]

I like your channel and videos, but do you always leave the water running that long when you're washing the dishes? I don't have a dishwasher, I have a small sink, and I have a wash (soapy) side and a clean water side and I squirter soap in the wash side (not even that much, I use Dawn platnium) and I can wash dishes for 7+ people. It just seems like a waste of water 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@EverythingInBetween]

why don't you guys get your water situation fixed so you can do laundry at home?

[@dahoodini5683]

[@nadineh4873]

I don‘t understand your system of laundry. It‘s much, sure, but how many loads are there? Why do you not fold the first washed und dryed clothes during the second load is washing and drying?

[@perlagtz77]

The dishwashing is what gets me… Washing your dishes with a rag you used to clean the dirty counters with, then letting water run on top of the dish you are washing does not help at all, you are washing all of the soap away and just using a dirty rag to wash dishes. That rag is laced with bacteria from your dirty counters that you didn’t even use a cleaner on… so you just spread all of the bacteria around🤮 Please do better for the health and safety of those children!

[@jenniferroberson1046]

YEAH

[@Cfamily509]

Stop feeding your kids donuts I feel bad for them all😢

[@mysticalgoddesstarot]

Noone taught me how to do laundry ever..I read the instructions on back of liquid laundry soap...not hard.

[@karenjackson594]

Just worked a 8 hour day at the factory and am now enjoying a cup of coffee while watching you create a lovely life for your family. You have a full time job with all you do. The laundry alone is massive! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@Goaway624]

Yes. We all thank You and Josh.... for all your work with all the childten!!!!!!!

[@BreeMichelle5655]

I know people give you advice and opinions all the time might not be the most enjoyable but I was just thinking have you tried to have the kids put their laundry in a basket that is only for them and so when you wash it it could be their own washer/dryer then you could put back in same basket and then you wouldn’t have to sort through so many clothes it was be slightly more organized?

[@aleixamarie9628]

The way the dishes are washed 😮 how is the soap gone before you wash any dish

[@marybillington8235]

Do you really think anyone is that bored to watch you wash dishes and fold 60 loads of laundry? I know I'm not. Find something more interesting to watch like go to their games or horse back riding.

[@timothyconrad2024]

When I was their age I had chores. They included bed making,dishwasher, cleaning the house. Then play time. I understand you want be in charge but you be over tiring yourself

[@nat5516]

I dont know why if u have many kids and some of them are old they dont help.. you do hard work

[@jaelle-catherinemercier8362]

She has many kids because she fosters, adopts and has some biological. Don't judge. You must be new....go back to older videos for the full story before being rude. Go Alicia!!!

[@teacupdreams5735]

it's not rude but honestly a valid question at least 3 of the children can do their own laundry and are teens. I was taught to wash my own clothes and fold my own laundry from 12. it's a good life skill to learn young.

[@joannaazar7396]

She truly is a patient super mom. I can’t imagine

[@karenwittfoth5380]

Because she has to do laundry at the laundromat. The kids are all in sports and wouldn’t have time to go to the laundromat themselves.

[@MsRich-qg6du]

To each their own. 🧡

[@legna9117]

I'd dump the laundry on each kids beds & teach them how to fold it & put it away 🎉❤❤❤🎉

[@Coolstephers]

Who ever watched this 2 hour video sure has lots of free time on there hand and could of had there own laundry done 😂 😂 😂

[@vickiemelvin5722]

Wow, you're grumpy! There is a fast forward feature if you don't want to watch the whole video. Assuming things about strangers is a bit weird.

[@uniquemum73]

[@magretperry2203]

Use a sponge and not a dish rag,

[@uniquemum73]

Sponges are nasty! Everyone knows that.

[@myopinionsonly1221]

You are not teaching these kids life skills if u do everything for them just a thought have them help u out

[@j87waldo]

I just hope to God the kids at least put away their own clothes that's what I make my kids do..

[@angeladomann-bolduc5077]

Alicia teaches her kiddos many life skills! Lol.. I just want to kindly remind you, we all parent differently. 😊🧡

[@chelly2517]

Everyone with negative comments don't have a clue what goes on in her house. She doesn't video everything so she will parent how she wants . Don't assume everything and tell her how she should and shouldn't parent and raise her kids

[@RH-fe2ut]

I just cannot watch you do your laundry for 2 hours! 🙄Whoever enjoys or has the time to watch this can come and do my laundry for 2 hours

[@Kattaz0309]

I really don’t understand why she does not fill up one side of her sink with hot, soapy water & wash her dirty dishes in that side, and then rinse the dishes in the other side of the sink. What a waste of dish soap to keep squirting it on the dish rag & to have the water running nonstop. 🤦‍♀️

[@bellabailey1183]

Oh my gosh!! Laundry!! Any news when the septic will get fixed?

[@diamonds4joy]

Why aren't the kids folding their own laundry??

[@renataufm]

Diamonds 4 Joy why aren’t you gonna shut up

[@cameronquigley6486]

You should wash every kids separately, the big kids get their basket back unfolded…the littles get theirs back folded. I have a lot of kids I totally understand “just doing it myself bc it’s easier” lol I just think THIS one thing could be so much easier on you. You’re an amazing mom, you really do inspire me.

[@michellecook7586]

I wonder if the older children had to do the laundry and fold it, I wonder how much is actually dirty clothes.

[@saraallred4435]

I’d totally hire a laundry service if I were her!

[@debbiedebc]

Honestly, that’s not a bad idea. It would free up so much of her time, and if her septic system is the issue, it can take a long time to get that resolved. She should totally look into that.

[@joannaazar7396]

60 loads of laundry 😮

[@uriahahall9826]

I wouldn't want anyone else going through my clothes personally.

[@JT-wn7wb]

She has 12 kids everyone can fold their own stuff. I’ve seen their draws when she goes to put things away. Anyway it’s folded will be fine. She can make it a game. Who ever finishes first wins.

[@nangioletti0224]

I'd buy a new damn house and wash my clothes home

[@karenwittfoth5380]

I forgot: What is the reason that septic hasn’t been done yet?? Is it the city you’re waiting on?

[@toochickeny]

Yes, waiting for the city/town to hook them up to their main system.

[@ariellacina353]

Usually holes in clothes during laundry is from zippers. Try washing with all zippers closed. It helps so much!

[@tonyaguitron4497]

The older kids definitely need to help with the laundry. She’s definitely their maid not a mom.

[@alexandrakozub2501]

Oh my that many clothes rediculous you need to get the older ones to sort and do their own laundry will help them to know what to do when they get their own place. Also I think they have enough clothes lol you don’t need to keep buying

[@jessicat55]

Teach the kiddos to turn their clothes right side out before putting it in the laundry basket, I promise it'll change you're laundry game!

[@nuffin2seehere]

You should always wash clothes inside out!

[@amberdills3511]

Why not just separate all the kids clothes into baskets and make them fold and put them away? Maybe they wouldn't be putting clean clothes in the dirty laundry anymore.

[@kaylaalexandria9658]

We have stainless steel appliances as well and the fingerprints drove me mad! Buy some stainless steel wipes, they will polish the appliances and make it fingerprint free for a few weeks until you need to wipe it again! I love your videos and family, my daughter and I binge watch them and look forward to new ones! She absolutely loves Nevaeh and thinks she is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your warmth and love to your viewers, you have inspired me to keep on pushing with the household duties! Love you so much ❤

[@nkenda5157]

If they’re old enough to date, they shouldn’t have a problem with such a simple task.

[@user-mm6wc1vf9m]

Maybe she could come up with a more organized way of doing laundry. Also have the teens help at least put their own clothes away. My 8 year can wash and put their own stuff away. If these kids can play games all day they can figure out how to hang a shirt and pants. It’s probly frustrating for the kids to be scrounging around for somthing to wear in that massive pile everyday.

[@victoriababer3380]

Your day in the life’s are really just breakfast, your snack boards and nothing else. Laundry once a month. I have way more dishes per day for two people when cooking a home-cooked meal once a night than you do in a week. I wash laundry every day for two people almost (bedding, socks, underwear, then regular items). You never show cleaning floors, vacuuming, wiping off the rest of the house. Shaking rugs, windexing windows.. cleaning the oven from “cooking so much”. Mopping floors. Cleaning the pool. Cleaning the car. Cleaning your fridges/freezers out. Dusting. Deep cleaning appliances … I do these things WEEKLY and I live alone with a boyfriend that comes over 4x a week.

[@yvonnewallace7567]

Biggest economical laundry tip I’ve ever tried was how to easily get out grass stains from my kids’ jeans. All you need to do is lay the garments of the ground or hang on a clothesline and let the morning dew take the stains away. My son-in-law didn’t believe it till my daughter tried it on the boys’ jeans and it worked. He was also a doubting Thomas when we told him that the flowers growing on the decorative wagon wheels along their walkway were called four o’clocks because they close their petals at four o’clock and reopen the next day. Proved right again when he saw it for himself.

They are definitely at an age where they should be responsible for a few things...help lighten your load as well giving them a life skill.

Why don’t you get each of the kids name on the laundry baskets and have them put all their dirty clothes and take it to the laundry and get washed and dryer then you just fold and wash what is in each basket and also have one for all the linen and towels etc they did that to us we were only six kids but when we didn’t pick our clothes to get washed that was our fault boy did we learn fast
