This is one thing I do agree with I know everybody has different ways with kids but you got to teach your kids I was taught from very young on my 5-year-old birthday I heated up soup for my mother cuz that was the Year everybody had the flu so sooner kids can learn how to heat up food make their own beds clean your own house it'll serve them for their whole life that'll help them Lisa sharing life stories with you

Yeah just stop telling her what to do she has her own ways of doing things in her household and it’s none of your business what these people are doing on their own time and land
Alicia, please teach the children how to do those simple chores. They need to learn to be self sufficient. I’ve learned the hard way and now my 20 year old daughter can’t do anything.
Alicia, it’s okay for you to clean up after the little kids. But you seriously need to teach them ALL, specially the teenagers to clean and be organized. Those rooms are a mess, you’re raising useless and ungrateful brads. You’re not gonna be there for them forever and when they go out in the real world it’s gonna be bad for them !
Omg...though I respect u for caring for ur children, u must make them pick up after themselves. I have 4 grandchildren n the older 2 who are 6 n 8 has daily chores. My daughter n son-in-law has a chore chart for them in which they get a sticker for doing each of their daily chores. Once their chart is filled, their parents will either give them money if they want/allow them to go to a shopping center to get them x amount of things that they want according to how much they earned. Please let ur children grow up to be independent n teach them to clean their own rooms n to help out with daily chores.

When my nephew was 8yrs old my sister put his basketball hoop mounted over his laundry basket. He never missed. He is 34 yrs old now and still has a basketball hoop over his laundry basket in the bathroom. He said it makes a chore he hates so much easier.

There is no reason why you should clean behind your older kids I don’t mean to be rude but why can’t you teach them to clean after themselves the younger kids I understand
Just because they allow them in the rooms doesn't mean they haven't set rules for the kids. They obviously trust their kids not to do anything and to follow the rules given.

Yeah & all that squirting dish washing liquid onto the cloth for each plate & utensil. Just fill the sink with hot soapy water & wash the dishes! Rinse in the other sink of plain water. What a waste of time, water & dish washing liquid! Get the kids to make their beds & tidy their own rooms! Their all capable of doing it themselves.
Don’t get why you can’t let your older kids make their beds and clean their own rooms. Even your oldest who’s learning to drive still has you do everything 😳
Don’t worry. They do have to make their beds and clean their rooms. Like she encourages that they do but sometimes in the mornings her kids don’t have time. They still always have to do chores like everyday. No need to hate
Please start teaching your kids responsibility and to clean up after themselves..you literally had to pick a dirty towel off the bathroom floor...come on now, their future spouses will thank you if you teach them they need to pick up after themselves.
People shame her.but she is a wonderful mother. Everybody parents their kids differently... she is a great mom who doesn't really require her kids to do any work... Her kids will turn out great !! Haters will always hate that means your doing something good
You should make a plan that'll have your kids throw away their trash.(keep mini trashcans in their room) and have them make their bed. TRUST ME YOUR LIFE WILL FEEL SO MUCH EASIER. Besides it's good for your kids to know that they can do these things themselves. And if it gets hard to have them start cleaning. Maybe put in a reward system and slowly get rid of it once everyone's doing good. I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your kids , this is just a suggestion.
I touch up every day I like to disinfect everything sink counters fridge inside the stove. Kitchen door handles . I do the bathroom also real good. Wash kitchen floors . Living room dust windex all windows vacuum the carpet good. Bedrooms the same dusting vacuum the carpets .. washer n dryer same thing down stairs. Vaccum also. Changing all bedding on the beds. Towels same thing. Then I'll deep clean pulling out fridge stove to get back behind it. Clean all blinds. And flu season coming up also and winter. It's alot of work. I have 3 children. And they also have responsibilities and rules in my home they have activities as well different sports.. And everything is so expensive for everyone. But we try our best as parent's... My kids eat healthy foods but occasionally they like certain snacks. I do worry about there teeth.. Going to the dentist but luckily there teeth are good. And of course the doctors.. So far with Covid there doing good.. thank goodness.. I understand what your going through also. It's alot of work... The days go by so fast..🌝
You’d save/conserve more water by partially filing up one side of the sink with soap and the other side to rinse. Other wise use your dishwasher it uses less water than what’s being wasted.
Curious why you don’t have the kids make their own beds and wash their own laundry? These chores can be handled by most of your kids and will save you a lot of time.
@@Brielle6 her septic tank is broke. They want to get hooked up the city water system. As she has mentioned before it’s taking a bit of time for them to come hook them up to it.
She didn’t ask for advice on raising her children. If she did she would post a video asking it. So unwanted advice is not needed. She is doing great and it works for her family. You can’t assume things from a 54 min video. Each mom runs their house a certain way and no one wants advice they never asked for.
@@Irina-iw5ji I wasn’t giving her advice. I was asking her rationale for not having the kids do these chores themselves. I know several families with 7+ kids and the kids all take care of making their own beds, cleaning up their clothes, etc.
@@Brielle6 I think there’s an issue behind it (septic tank? Idk) but yeah for her sake I’m hoping it gets easier! The trips to the laundry matt seem a lot of energy
I LOVE your videos and watch every single one, but I will say it broke my heart a little to watch you clean their rooms! I personally was raised in a home where I basically took care of myself, so in that aspect I admire the way you genuinley care about your kids and help them, but having to do things on my own definitely helped me once I reached college! Absolutely no hate! Everybody does things differently and I think you’re very admirable for sharing🥰
I really don't see whats wrong with her taking time and clean up her home if she whats too why is everyone keep going on and on about what this lady does at the house no one owns..
@@tyroneowens7602 because part of parenting is giving your kids life skills, responsibility, and an age appropriate understanding of takes that need to be done, especially by the time they are teens! If they are old enough to have a “girlfriend”, they can CERTAINLY clean up their own room, I mean come on
Good morning from Colorado! I know you said your dishwasher was broken and you didn’t want to fix/ replace since your septic system issues , but why don’t you at least use it as a giant drying rack for clean dishes. Then you could free up some space on your already limited counters. Just a thought. But I love your videos! Stay strong mama!
I’m only going to make one negative comment but the kids who are old enough to understand should learn to clean up after them selves .. i wouldn’t be cleaning up after 14 or 16 year olds..
I clean a house for one grandchild with a disability, and a daughter with a disability and one wonderful husband. Watching you clean for all your family makes me appreciate cleaning for only four people, and I try to enjoy it more. Have a blessed day.
doesn't anyone else think it's so unsafe that we know the names and last names of her children and where they live. She has the same routines anybody could potentially hurt these kids because she posts where they are online for millions to see
Why would anyone cleanup after the kids? You owe it to them to teach them responsibility. You are not doing them any favors. In the long run they will be better off learning to care for their own things.
Suggestion: Unless the stuffed animals have to be on the bed, one of the stuffed animal hammocks might save some time. You've probably already thought about this but just in case you haven't, I wanted to comment anyway. ❤️
That’s the prob…she’s too busy being a super-mom “influencer” to give up the responsibilities to the children. All she is doing is teaching them that everything will be done for them. Even the “babies” (even tho they aren’t and are completely capable of doing simple tasks) are learning this behavior. It’s so sad…I feel for each and every one of those kids and fear for their future…given all their past traumas and any they are going thru, bc mom sure isn’t dealing with them as a parent.
@@aliciap106 lmao I love how she “isn’t caring for them as a parent” but she does more for her kids than half of you could think. If you think you should teach your kids… that’s fine bc they’re your kids and those are Alicia’s kids therefore she should be able to do as she pleases. And just sayin just bc you have an opinion doesn’t mean you need to share it lol 😂
I was never made to make my bed everyday and I do it as an adult... and if u ask my mom by the state of my room she thought I would be the "messy house" child as an adult... and im happy to say it is not the case!!! Just cause u say it doesn't make it true!! Keep doing u alisha!!! Love from indiana ❤🧡

In a world full of so much negativity and suffering, how lovely your channel is to remind all that LOVE truly is the answer. You do everything with such love... From cleaning to cooking to spending quality time with your family. Thank you. You are a wonderful inspiration. Many blessings to you and your family. Enjoy your beautiful amazing Sunday 💕😌
Not sure if you saw it but a account called Swiss something is trying to post your address. Idk if it’s true or not I reported it but just so you’re aware. Hope you all keep safe
I'm 62 and still don't make my own bed. I think she's doing a great job with the children all in all. I lived in some foster homes that were terrible and I had to clean. I didn't learn much except I was a toy for the dad and less than them in general. I love Alicia.
Velva . I'm proud of you we love you just the way you are .keep to hat on positive attitude love and hugs 🏴🏴 alicia .your amazing to xxxxxx
Keeping house is a never ending job. I'm amazed at all of what you and your husband do to provide your children a safe and secure environment. I grew up in a home with 5 brothers in a 750 square foot home. Im adopted, but I still had to do my share,, lol We all did chores but in reality my parent did a lot of behind the scenes stuff that kept our home running smoothly. My mom loved having us around and she worked hours on end homesteading. I think if each child did 1 chore each and was responsible for upkeeping their rooms, it would surely help. I made my kids clean their rooms meaning the following.... Make the bed Pick up and put clothes away in drawers or closets Put toys away at the end of the day Put all trash in proper cans or recycling. Once a week vacuum and dust their rooms if they are old enough. We began this process at age 2. I'm an extremely tidy person, but I had to let my kids learn how to be responsible and keep their rooms liveable. Other than that I do everything else. As a mom of a 21 and 17 year old if I could do anything different it would probably be teaching my kids the basics of housekeeping in a more thorough and effective way outside of just making them clean their rooms. Lol I was too much of a perfectionist to teach them and I doted on them when it came to my role as mother. It's easy to do. My love language is acts of service. But in the end, do whats best for you and what works best for your family unit. There's no right or wrong way of how much or little you express your love when you give your time and energy towards your family. ❤ you're a great mom but a little help is okay as well.
Alicia, I really thank you and your husband for reaching out to help the kids. Just a thought, a contest for the kids. Clean Room award!!!! Every Day chart with sticker. You acknowledge any way you want!!! Make it fun! Another suggestion you say you have to do laundry out because of septic tank issue, perhaps the water used in washing dishes could be limited. You are loved!
I love your videos! Changes my mind from some hard stuff I am going through right now. I love your family so much! I wish people would stop being so mean and harsh with the comments. Your an amazing Mom and you take care of your family. ❤️
Omg stop letting the water run the entire time you wash dishes😵 if you didn’t do that you would be able to wash more dishes and not use so much disposable stuff
When they start walking, the child and is together pick up the floors,bedroom,under the bed,in the closet and bathroom of all their toys,shoes,pillows,anything that they played with or just dragged out,before they go too bed. In the morning,they crawl out of bed,child and make the bed.. by the time they are three and potty trained. They do all this without being asked or used as punishment.. as adults they still adhere to this form of discipline s and self respect
She is a great mom. When does she take time and just unwind? The kids should be helping her with chores. Not one room was clean. it just looks overwhelming at times. She spends so much money on birthdays. I would have been happy with one small gift as a child. What life lessons are the young ones learning about not valuing materialistic things? When she did that spaghetti table I am pretty sure a lot of it was thrown out. There are such disparities in our world in how people live that I wish we all were mindful of waste. Beautiful family but I would do many things differently. Her Christmas budget could probably feed a small island somewhere.
...for starters, her kids aren't you. They are grateful, half of them didn't have much for birthdays growing up so they like to spoil them on their day. I think you're being incredibly judgemental over one video about her day.
Do you ever take a break from filming? It seems like you're filming every single day. If I was a kid and my mom was taking a videos of me and posting it online every single day I would get upset. I know you're making a lot of money from youtube and I'm happy for you. But did you ever consider that your kids never asked to be famous social media subjects? And I bet most people on your channel don't know that Alex was attacked by stalkers on the boardwalk in Ocean City and the police had to be called. Stalkers developed because you made him famous on social media. Think of your kids before your selfish desire to be famous.
Yes I feel the same way it some how encourages me a lot of people don’t understand what a mom does and thinks it’s just sit on your butt . I work hard just like Alicia does but I only have 3 kids and one of them is away at college .
Not sure if you ever made the Chi-Chi's corn cake but it would be an amazing addition to your taco Tuesdays. They sale the mix at the grocery store and it's super duper easy!!
You can make a game out having them cleaning up their room and make their beds. Start with one room and have the kids pick up their messes and make their bed. Go from room to room and have the kids do it. Until they understand what to do. You may have to show the little kids how to do it more. Then have them do it every morning, even if it's a quick neatening of their bed and room, doing more weekends. It's good to have children take pride in their space and for the future.
She is so calm, maybe survival mode, but not concerned with the kids appearance (wrinkled), one said I used an eraser for my earring, she didn't react, do they really eat all that she packs for lunch (waste), good breakfast but has to be cold by the time it is served, she doesn't always listen to the kids - bless her for taking in fosters and friends. Time with EACH ??
Girl I love you and I am a huge fan!! However after all the money you spent on those lockers and the time and effort into setting them up and organizing I would be livid if my kids were just leaving everything hanging out of them and around them! Lord my ocd when I saw the garage lmaoooo 🧡🧡🧡🧡
most of those kids are old enough to pick up their own room and for sure bring their lunch boxes into the kitchen that's things they can pick up after themselves and you shouldn't have to do that maybe the little ones but not the older ones
Hi there! When I couldn't use my dishwasher I would open it up when I was handwashing and set items in there to dry. If you leave it open a crack the items will dry and you will have more room in your regular drainer.
I do the exact same thing with my kiddos. They clean perfectly for their ages. I go behind them and finish the job. My hands aren’t as full as yours, and you’re perfection. Sending Happy Sunday vibes from my house to yours. Love to all. ❤
I love how you have 14 people in your home and you all have crocs and you were like “these aren’t our crocs weird!” And you have 100 stuffed animals and go “this is not Bodhi’s it’s Dash’s” like idk how you do it!!
Guiding your children to be contributing members of the household, by cleaning their rooms, keeping their lockers neat and doing routine chores will only benefit them as they become young adults.
I love to watch this, you amaze me. I have a hard time keeping up with 1 toddler. I feel like housework never ends. You do it all in love as well. So kind
I'm sure you're doing amazing, we gotta be kind to ourselves. I've raised 5 kids and some days I don't remember if I ate, but we manage to do our best . You've got this..
She probably does kids' room and things to stay busy because my children are grown. My son still stays with me because he is disabled but he can do things I do all the cooking and most of the cleaning we will work together. My daughter and grandson do not stay with me but I wash everyone's clothes and fold them and my son and I help my daughter keep her house clean I do it to stay busy.
Alicia you are an amazing mom. May God Bless you and all your children. I have never seen anyone work so hard but your reward of your children are priceless....🥰
It's sad how everyone ruined dayshawns full length birthday video with negative comments, like everyone is saints and doesn't cuss. Who cares. They love and take care of their children. You people who hate on them are all miserable.

Maybe put in a reward system and slowly get rid of it once everyone's doing good. I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your kids , this is just a suggestion.
I touch up every day I like to disinfect everything sink counters fridge inside the stove. Kitchen door handles . I do the bathroom also real good. Wash kitchen floors . Living room dust windex all windows vacuum the carpet good. Bedrooms the same dusting vacuum the carpets .. washer n dryer same thing down stairs. Vaccum also. Changing all bedding on the beds. Towels same thing. Then I'll deep clean pulling out fridge stove to get back behind it. Clean all blinds. And flu season coming up also and winter. It's alot of work. I have 3 children. And they also have responsibilities and rules in my home they have activities as well different sports.. And everything is so expensive for everyone. But we try our best as parent's... My kids eat healthy foods but occasionally they like certain snacks. I do worry about there teeth.. Going to the dentist but luckily there teeth are good. And of course the doctors.. So far with Covid there doing good.. thank goodness.. I understand what your going through also. It's alot of work... The days go by so fast..🌝
Just out of curiosity what happened to repairing the play room for Bodhi?🤔 unless it’s already been done?
She mentioned it got pushed back to a later time because they wanted to get the garage project done first.
@@kspradling63 dont remember that to be fair
You’d save/conserve more water by partially filing up one side of the sink with soap and the other side to rinse. Other wise use your dishwasher it uses less water than what’s being wasted.
Not much washing.....pretty much all rinsing
Curious why you don’t have the kids make their own beds and wash their own laundry? These chores can be handled by most of your kids and will save you a lot of time.
They don’t have a washer so harder for kids to go as none of the kids have a license yet?
@@Brielle6 her septic tank is broke. They want to get hooked up the city water system. As she has mentioned before it’s taking a bit of time for them to come hook them up to it.
She didn’t ask for advice on raising her children. If she did she would post a video asking it. So unwanted advice is not needed. She is doing great and it works for her family. You can’t assume things from a 54 min video. Each mom runs their house a certain way and no one wants advice they never asked for.
@@Irina-iw5ji I wasn’t giving her advice. I was asking her rationale for not having the kids do these chores themselves. I know several families with 7+ kids and the kids all take care of making their own beds, cleaning up their clothes, etc.
@@Brielle6 I think there’s an issue behind it (septic tank? Idk) but yeah for her sake I’m hoping it gets easier! The trips to the laundry matt seem a lot of energy
I LOVE your videos and watch every single one, but I will say it broke my heart a little to watch you clean their rooms! I personally was raised in a home where I basically took care of myself, so in that aspect I admire the way you genuinley care about your kids and help them, but having to do things on my own definitely helped me once I reached college! Absolutely no hate! Everybody does things differently and I think you’re very admirable for sharing🥰
🧡🧡🧡
I really don't see whats wrong with her taking time and clean up her home if she whats too why is everyone keep going on and on about what this lady does at the house no one owns..
It's for the camera!
@@tyroneowens7602 because part of parenting is giving your kids life skills, responsibility, and an age appropriate understanding of takes that need to be done, especially by the time they are teens! If they are old enough to have a “girlfriend”, they can CERTAINLY clean up their own room, I mean come on
Good morning from Colorado! I know you said your dishwasher was broken and you didn’t want to fix/ replace since your septic system issues , but why don’t you at least use it as a giant drying rack for clean dishes. Then you could free up some space on your already limited counters. Just a thought. But I love your videos! Stay strong mama!
If it isn’t drained properly it will get mildew inside from the water coming off the dishes… best to take the broken dishwasher out
I’m only going to make one negative comment but the kids who are old enough to understand should learn to clean up after them selves .. i wouldn’t be cleaning up after 14 or 16 year olds..
I clean a house for one grandchild with a disability, and a daughter with a disability and one wonderful husband. Watching you clean for all your family makes me appreciate cleaning for only four people, and I try to enjoy it more. Have a blessed day.
🧡🧡🧡
doesn't anyone else think it's so unsafe that we know the names and last names of her children and where they live. She has the same routines anybody could potentially hurt these kids because she posts where they are online for millions to see
Extremely unsafe!!
@@user-momof7 something tragic will happen, it's inevitable at this point. That's what makes me so mad.
Are you under the impression this information is different get under normal circumstances?
This is a huge problem not only that we know all these childrens medical History poor kids
I can literally go through the comments and predict which ones will get deleted.... 🤣🤣🤣
These children are lazy and need to clean up after themselves. They have lockers and there's STILL shoes all over the floor? Inexcusable
Just a suggestion if the kids have chores maybe do a video on the kids doing their chores for the day.
Love love love your videos!!!! They make my day so much better!!! I wish I had half of your energy!!! you are a true supermom!!!!
Why would anyone cleanup after the kids? You owe it to them to teach them responsibility. You are not doing them any favors. In the long run they will be better off learning to care for their own things.
Suggestion: Unless the stuffed animals have to be on the bed, one of the stuffed animal hammocks might save some time. You've probably already thought about this but just in case you haven't, I wanted to comment anyway. ❤️
Good idea, thanks! 🧡🧡🧡
Kids must clean their own rooms, as well after them. You will have more time to do other things.
You should get Beddy’s for all the beds. They are expensive but so worth it. They zip and have the sheets built in.
Even though you think you are doing your kids a favour if you always do their chores then how will they adapt when they are older?
I saw that gorgeous morning sky on my drive into work the other day too! Absolutely stunning!
The best! 🧡🧡🧡
@@DoughertyDozen being a mom isn’t fit for everyone!
How are dogs and chickens? Do you cuddle with dogs and pay attention to them when you get home and maybe have a few minutes??
A good mother, like you, should know the importance of giving your kids home responsibilities!!!
That’s the prob…she’s too busy being a super-mom “influencer” to give up the responsibilities to the children. All she is doing is teaching them that everything will be done for them. Even the “babies” (even tho they aren’t and are completely capable of doing simple tasks) are learning this behavior. It’s so sad…I feel for each and every one of those kids and fear for their future…given all their past traumas and any they are going thru, bc mom sure isn’t dealing with them as a parent.
@@aliciap106 lmao I love how she “isn’t caring for them as a parent” but she does more for her kids than half of you could think. If you think you should teach your kids… that’s fine bc they’re your kids and those are Alicia’s kids therefore she should be able to do as she pleases. And just sayin just bc you have an opinion doesn’t mean you need to share it lol 😂
@@JoshuaH019 tu es un leche cul d'Alicia toi!! lollll she make tone of $$$ on their back .. open your eyes.
she is forcing her kids to be in videos by the way. That is considered child labor
@@mrbanjoooo 😆😂😂 Delusional?
I was never made to make my bed everyday and I do it as an adult... and if u ask my mom by the state of my room she thought I would be the "messy house" child as an adult... and im happy to say it is not the case!!! Just cause u say it doesn't make it true!! Keep doing u alisha!!!
Love from indiana ❤🧡
🧡🧡🧡
I love the energy and good vibes of your videos!!! Yayyyy ❤️❤️❤️They are an instant pick me up! In a world full of so much negativity and suffering, how lovely your channel is to remind all that LOVE truly is the answer. You do everything with such love... From cleaning to cooking to spending quality time with your family. Thank you. You are a wonderful inspiration. Many blessings to you and your family. Enjoy your beautiful amazing Sunday 💕😌
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
Not sure if you saw it but a account called Swiss something is trying to post your address. Idk if it’s true or not I reported it but just so you’re aware. Hope you all keep safe
Thank you
@@DoughertyDozen I reported them
Everyone already knows their address
@@osannareisig6942 I don't and I'm not trying to find out.
@@osannareisig6942 no one should want to know it
I'm 62 and still don't make my own bed. I think she's doing a great job with the children all in all. I lived in some foster homes that were terrible and I had to clean. I didn't learn much except I was a toy for the dad and less than them in general.
I love Alicia.
Velva . I'm proud of you we love you just the way you are .keep to hat on positive attitude love and hugs 🏴🏴 alicia .your amazing to xxxxxx
Save water while cleaning the dishes : water to rinse, clean with product the lot, rinse with water
Keeping house is a never ending job. I'm amazed at all of what you and your husband do to provide your children a safe and secure environment. I grew up in a home with 5 brothers in a 750 square foot home. Im adopted, but I still had to do my share,, lol
We all did chores but in reality my parent did a lot of behind the scenes stuff that kept our home running smoothly. My mom loved having us around and she worked hours on end homesteading.
I think if each child did 1 chore each and was responsible for upkeeping their rooms, it would surely help.
I made my kids clean their rooms meaning the following....
Make the bed
Pick up and put clothes away in drawers or closets
Put toys away at the end of the day
Put all trash in proper cans or recycling.
Once a week vacuum and dust their rooms if they are old enough.
We began this process at age 2.
I'm an extremely tidy person, but I had to let my kids learn how to be responsible and keep their rooms liveable.
Other than that I do everything else. As a mom of a 21 and 17 year old if I could do anything different it would probably be teaching my kids the basics of housekeeping in a more thorough and effective way outside of just making them clean their rooms. Lol I was too much of a perfectionist to teach them and I doted on them when it came to my role as mother. It's easy to do. My love language is acts of service.
But in the end, do whats best for you and what works best for your family unit. There's no right or wrong way of how much or little you express your love when you give your time and energy towards your family. ❤ you're a great mom but a little help is okay as well.
Alicia, I really thank you and your husband for reaching out to help the kids. Just a thought, a contest for the kids. Clean Room award!!!! Every Day chart with sticker. You acknowledge any way you want!!! Make it fun! Another suggestion you say you have to do laundry out because of septic tank issue, perhaps the water used in washing dishes could be limited. You are loved!
i really hope the kids know how to clean up after themselves bcus it would be hard for everyone when they move out to college and live with a roommate
Part of the same generation so odds are the parents may have done similar things.
I love your videos! Changes my mind from some hard stuff I am going through right now. I love your family so much! I wish people would stop being so mean and harsh with the comments. Your an amazing Mom and you take care of your family. ❤️
Thank you, hope things turn around soon! 🧡🧡🧡
Well said. Her videos do the same for me as well. People can be so harsh on her but they both are really great parents.
Omg stop letting the water run the entire time you wash dishes😵 if you didn’t do that you would be able to wash more dishes and not use so much disposable stuff
When they start walking, the child and is together pick up the floors,bedroom,under the bed,in the closet and bathroom of all their toys,shoes,pillows,anything that they played with or just dragged out,before they go too bed. In the morning,they crawl out of bed,child and make the bed.. by the time they are three and potty trained. They do all this without being asked or used as punishment.. as adults they still adhere to this form of discipline s and self respect
...you need to learn about spaces. It looks like this, when used properly.
Why bother putting anything away when you do it for them? Try teaching some responsibility!
Mam you wash your dishes incorrectly they aren’t even clean😭😭
Day in the life, you start going through the rooms, and I start looking around my house asking myself “What can I get done before she’s done.” 😂
I do the same thing
She is a great mom. When does she take time and just unwind? The kids should be helping her with chores. Not one room was clean. it just looks overwhelming at times. She spends so much money on birthdays. I would have been happy with one small gift as a child. What life lessons are the young ones learning about not valuing materialistic things? When she did that spaghetti table I am pretty sure a lot of it was thrown out. There are such disparities in our world in how people live that I wish we all were mindful of waste. Beautiful family but I would do many things differently. Her Christmas budget could probably feed a small island somewhere.
...for starters, her kids aren't you. They are grateful, half of them didn't have much for birthdays growing up so they like to spoil them on their day. I think you're being incredibly judgemental over one video about her day.
Hahah Moonlit you clearly no nothing about this lady and her levels of toxicity. Those kids aren’t grateful for a thing.
@@christinarodriguez7843 She only got the twins as babies. The others were all over 4 years of age.
They did a video where she showed the total from last christmas...17,000 dollars!
Do you ever take a break from filming? It seems like you're filming every single day. If I was a kid and my mom was taking a videos of me and posting it online every single day I would get upset. I know you're making a lot of money from youtube and I'm happy for you. But did you ever consider that your kids never asked to be famous social media subjects? And I bet most people on your channel don't know that Alex was attacked by stalkers on the boardwalk in Ocean City and the police had to be called. Stalkers developed because you made him famous on social media. Think of your kids before your selfish desire to be famous.
I would honestly get paranoid walking in the house looking for cameras everywhere.
LOVE watching Day in the Life videos! I love how you truly enjoy taking care of your family! Gives me motivation to get up and do something.
Keep up the good work 🧡🧡🧡
Brenda, she gives me the same motivation. I do for my family like she does.
Yes I feel the same way it some how encourages me a lot of people don’t understand what a mom does and thinks it’s just sit on your butt . I work hard just like Alicia does but I only have 3 kids and one of them is away at college .
Why are you cleaning teenagers rooms for them?
Wash both side of the dishes because sometimes stuff is on the back
Such a beautiful rainbow!! Thank you for sharing. They always brighten my day! 💜💜💜
Not sure if you ever made the Chi-Chi's corn cake but it would be an amazing addition to your taco Tuesdays. They sale the mix at the grocery store and it's super duper easy!!
Great idea!! 🧡🧡🧡
Do you have people that want to help you out?
You can make a game out having them cleaning up their room and make their beds. Start with one room and have the kids pick up their messes and make their bed. Go from room to room and have the kids do it. Until they understand what to do. You may have to show the little kids how to do it more. Then have them do it every morning, even if it's a quick neatening of their bed and room, doing more weekends. It's good to have children take pride in their space and for the future.
She is so calm, maybe survival mode, but not concerned with the kids appearance (wrinkled), one said I used an eraser for my earring, she didn't react, do they really eat all that she packs for lunch (waste), good breakfast but has to be cold by the time it is served, she doesn't always listen to the kids - bless her for taking in fosters and friends. Time with EACH ??
The sky was so beautiful 😍. Amazing job as always
Girl I love you and I am a huge fan!! However after all the money you spent on those lockers and the time and effort into setting them up and organizing I would be livid if my kids were just leaving everything hanging out of them and around them! Lord my ocd when I saw the garage lmaoooo 🧡🧡🧡🧡
your channel is a part of my everyday routine! i get myself a good snack and just watch your uploads!! 💗💗💗
Thank you 🧡🧡🧡
most of those kids are old enough to pick up their own room and for sure bring their lunch boxes into the kitchen that's things they can pick up after themselves and you shouldn't have to do that maybe the little ones but not the older ones
You waste an incredible amount of water while washing the dishes. It was literally giving me anxiety.
I know right! and on top of that the dishsoap.. you need a tiny squeeze for all of it and she used like half a bottle 😵💫
Hi there! When I couldn't use my dishwasher I would open it up when I was handwashing and set items in there to dry. If you leave it open a crack the items will dry and you will have more room in your regular drainer.
That's a good tip, never thought of that myself
Thats a pretty good idea. I don't use my dishwasher much, I might try this to save counter space.
You should try Dawn power boost for your dishes it works great
I do the exact same thing with my kiddos. They clean perfectly for their ages. I go behind them and finish the job. My hands aren’t as full as yours, and you’re perfection. Sending Happy Sunday vibes from my house to yours. Love to all. ❤
🧡🧡🧡
She spent all that money on those lockers just for the kids to not put away their stuff and throw it on the floor🤦♀️🤔
She doesnt teach them anything
@@gastgast489 I didn't know you lived there with them and can say that as fact
I love how you have 14 people in your home and you all have crocs and you were like “these aren’t our crocs weird!” And you have 100 stuffed animals and go “this is not Bodhi’s it’s Dash’s” like idk how you do it!!
Can afford everything but a damn sponge to wash the wishes😂😂 who uses a damn rag? That’s wack..😅
Have you guys done any remodeling to the house? Just curious.
That’s why you shouldn’t allow your kids to have drinks or food in there room if they can’t be responsible enough to throw stuff away
The stickers on wooden furniture makes me feel a certain way 🤣🤣 x
Guiding your children to be contributing members of the household, by cleaning their rooms, keeping their lockers neat and doing routine chores will only benefit them as they become young adults.
I love to watch this, you amaze me. I have a hard time keeping up with 1 toddler. I feel like housework never ends. You do it all in love as well. So kind
I'm sure you're doing amazing, we gotta be kind to ourselves. I've raised 5 kids and some days I don't remember if I ate, but we manage to do our best . You've got this..
@@flawedfabulous thank you for that kind message. Sometimes we are our own worse critic
@@coreybarnhart635 yes we are, we've gotta remember self love.. 💕💕
Just wondering.. Do the kids have any chores?
Yeah they do, don't remember which video she talked about it. I know James takes care of the dogs though.
Why is someone always late and someone always home for no reason?
Think about. Buying beddies for the kids bed. Just have the kids zip them up to make the bed. A little expensive but worth it
Did you say expensive? She’ll be right on it!! 😂
Kathy I came to say the exact same thing. They are awesome for kids.
She probably does kids' room and things to stay busy because my children are grown. My son still stays with me because he is disabled but he can do things I do all the cooking and most of the cleaning we will work together. My daughter and grandson do not stay with me but I wash everyone's clothes and fold them and my son and I help my daughter keep her house clean I do it to stay busy.
Aren’t the kids that are older should make their own beds?
I see she’s deleting comments again😂
Alicia you are an amazing mom. May God Bless you and all your children. I have never seen anyone work so hard but your reward of your children are priceless....🥰
"Hey, these are my earrings!" LOL. I remember, um, "borrowing," from my elder sister, and her, "borrowing, " from me! 😆😅🤣😂
😂😂😂
Thought u needed to conserve water because u have Septic? Did u hookup to town sewer yet ❓
You are one rockstar of a mom! ❤️
It's sad how everyone ruined dayshawns full length birthday video with negative comments, like everyone is saints and doesn't cuss. Who cares. They love and take care of their children. You people who hate on them are all miserable.
What a gorgeous sunrise.
