My 7 year old grandson asked that we don't get him any gifts this year for his birthday. He asked that we buy some toys, blankets, warm pjs and send them to North Carolina for the children who lost everything in the hurricane. We did a big shopping day and a friend of ours drove it to a church in NC for the children. We made a simple homemade cake for his birthday and asked that each child who came to the party bring one item to be donated to the cause, it was the best birthday ever seeing how much this child was rewarded by helping others he didn't even know. Most times less gifts equals more and how you raise your children to understand what's going on in the world.
Everyone is different and think different. Over 8 billions people in the world and they don't think the same. That's diversity of thinking and people spend their money on what they want.
I love this idea. I have a boy turning 10 on October 31 and my autistic adhd son turns 14 on Dec 28th. I think this is really nice to build off of in some way to teach life skills.
The Bose headphones are for adults and are too heavy for a child to wear so they’ll be falling off his head all the time… kids ones are lighter and better fitting.
No one on the planet needs that many gifts, let alone an 8-year-old. Your kids will be spoiled, disappointed adults because they will never be able to keep up with the insane expectations you gave them as children. It is absolutely nuts.
@@Nicole-n9p Autistic kids are able to learn 🙄. The older they get the better they manage their emotions. That’s the point of all that therapy they get
Im sorry but that is overload for an 8 year old birthday I know she loves her kids but does she not realise that when the kids are older and leave home they will probably think that they should have stuff like they have know all to excess they are heading for a big shock
I know with your struggle with having children you want to give them everything you can, but you do realize that someday they will have to live without you and they have no money making skills being taught to them. Nobody buys that much food in a week for a family, especially with the way your pantry With all your kids health issues they do not eat a very healthy diet and a birthday presents are nice and a Christmas is great but it makes other kids envious of them and that’s where bowling starts so much of their lives posted on social media, it gives everybody the opportunity tobully your children and it makes you look like you are using them to make your money
@karen9540 what are you hinting at for goodness sake? This is just an 8 year old's birthday party. Send some love instead of hate. You take care of yourself x
What is crazy?..do you have any idea how a child feels when they have a birthday party..if not..let me tell you..HAPPY..EXCITED...LOOKING FOWARD FOR THE DAY TO COME...LOOKING OUT FOR FRIENDS...SHARING HAPPY AND MEMORABLE TIME. So it's not crazy.
honestly these kids will never appreciate beyond the opening. why not offer one on one experiences for their birthdays? spend more in the house and foundations, set up savings etc spending 1000s even when you can is a little questionable.
Yes! Even when he was nonverbal (he started talking at 4) he knew everything, colors, numbers etc. One day one of his teachers said he didn’t know his shapes and the other teacher laughed and said ‘yes he does he’s just too dang smart and didn’t feel like doing his work so he pretends not to.’🤣
Every HP product I have had has been terrible, the laptop I had would consistently overheat and then eventually died, the printer we had before that was no better either Maybe they have improved now so I hope it works out for what your son wants
Hi Alicia! Happy 8th Birthday Bodhi! I love all the nice gifts! The giants Lego Blocks are super nice! You're a very awesome nice super mom! Great video!
You have a lot of plastic consumption going into the landfill. I’m watching right now one of your videos. I just don’t think I can watch you and in the same video you stated you guys have water bottles, but don’t want to use them.
It’s a sturdy one 😂 It held on for awhile. I didn’t realize until after that you can pull the strings instead. But my kids like the old fashioned way anyways.
Hi wow you got great presents for Bodhis birthday 🎂 ,love watching your videos.What was the specs of the gaming laptop you brought him? My son wants a gaming laptop for xmas and im struggling to no which ones the perfect buy lol x
That's none of your damned business, now is it? She's not spending your money, it's none of your concern what or how much she spends ON HER OWN KIDS. Mind your business and stop worrying about other people's money. Worry about your own business and your own money.
@@smileygirl1272real question, are you in love with Alicia or something? Your comments are so extra, it’s honestly really cringey. She’s a bad mum 🤷♀️ her kids won’t be able to cope with the expectations placed on life from childhood and they’ll go into insurmountable debt. Just accept it 🤷♀️ plus it’s the internet, anyone can say whatever they want so…
To allthe nay layers you have no idea what these children have been through. As a used to be foster parent I have seen the pain and despair children have got through. If they want to spoil them I say go for it! Give them happy times! We don't see everything. I believe they teach them unending love and compassion.
Every single bit of those same GAMER party supplies that you bought except for the pinata... They sell at the DOLLAR TREE, even the same colors. Could have saved a couple hundred dollars, right there. I do not recommend spending 3X as much, just because you have the funds... it is just ridiculous. But more power to ya if that is what you want to do.
Bodhi’s 8th Birthday Prep & Party will be posted to @@DoughertyDozenHQ 🎉
Please do a short of this
When will it be posted? Looking forward to it. Hope all of your upcoming birthday kiddos have a great day!
I can't find it

Well Bodie would never ask for that he has autism they are not wired that way
Once Alicia provided food and supplies to the homeless, she was harassed for doing so.
The Bose headphones are for adults and are too heavy for a child to wear so they’ll be falling off his head all the time… kids ones are lighter and better fitting.
they are too heavy for me and very bulky....give me ear buds

Theyre kids. Calm down 🥴
Thanks for your input.
@@nena510
So because they are kids they should be spoiled rotten? 🙄
Don't be a party pooper, say happy birthday, life is great, be happy 😁
@@kat0ra Thanks for your input.
I thought you said he gets overwhelmed with a lot of gifts…
He's also grown in the 2 years since she said that. Kids generally learn to regulate their emotions better with age, you know.
@@alicat433 yeah but i thought it was because of his autism was the reason of not wanting too many gifts
@@Nicole-n9p Again, two years ago. People with autism can grow emotionally, too.
@@Nicole-n9p Autistic kids are able to learn 🙄. The older they get the better they manage their emotions. That’s the point of all that therapy they get
Mom knows best.🧡
No 8 year old needs electronics of this magnitude especially when he can just borrow from his older siblings
No. You never allow younger kids to 'borrow' from teenagers.
@@djk8-j8k Yeah so instead you spend over a GRAND on their bday on the same exact stuff the other 10 kids have what logic
Im sorry but that is overload for an 8 year old birthday I know she loves her kids but does she not realise that when the kids are older and leave home they will probably think that they should have stuff like they have know all to excess they are heading for a big shock
@@rundna what? She spent two thousand just on the bounce houses
@@djk8-j8kwhy not? It teaches them how to share and saves alot of money bc you don't have to buy a 2nd one of whatever they borrow.
wait why 2 headsets??
Wait why so nosey 😞
She's nuts

He only 8 ! And she can buy anything she what !!
Who cares ! Is her kid not your !!
Lighten up! Your not paying. Just be happy for him 🎉
Your statement is very accurate and she using her kids to make money.. which is why Josh is exposing her.
@karen9540 what are you hinting at for goodness sake? This is just an 8 year old's birthday party. Send some love instead of hate. You take care of yourself x
I was hoping you would show that you were going to wrap the presents...
It's always so relaxing!
He’s 8. This is crazy .
What's crazy that lady do what she wants with the money she 's making u don't like keep moving
What is crazy?..do you have any idea how a child feels when they have a birthday party..if not..let me tell you..HAPPY..EXCITED...LOOKING FOWARD FOR THE DAY TO COME...LOOKING OUT FOR FRIENDS...SHARING HAPPY AND MEMORABLE TIME. So it's not crazy.
Having too much money spent on him !!
He's also her kid. Her money.
And what, you jealous!
Just because you can doesn't mean you should 🤦♀️
Does this mean that she should not give her son a birthday party? 🤷♂
@@kelvinlong3711 It’s the excessive spending they’re referring to and you know that.
@@soccergirl5367 In spite of the fact that it may be excessive spending for you, it may not be for everyone else.
James is a good kid he always helps out, with the younger kids.
🧡🧡🧡
James is a sweet kid! Always helping with Bodhi!
🥰🥰🥰
I don’t see how you do it 😢
Over 400 for an 8 year old headphones? Crazy
Well, it's not your money or your kids. Judgemental much?
She can afford it, she wants. What's the matter?
Nuts
she spent 2thousand on bounce houses
This woman is totally insane
That is a silly amount of money to spend on any child put some in a savings account for his future
What more do they need though? How about giving back to the homeless or hurricane victims? If I had that privilege, that’s what I’d teach my kids
Who says she did not donate? Just because it is not mentioned it does not mean it is not done!
@@marjoleinvanlieshout9429exactly. If they mentioned it then people will say she is bragging too much.
They have given to the homeless and others. I remember the vlog very well and people came after them for putting it on social media.
What have you given to those people?
@@RebeccaLathrop-r2z😂
it gets to a point dude…
honestly these kids will never appreciate beyond the opening. why not offer one on one experiences for their birthdays? spend more in the house and foundations, set up savings etc spending 1000s even when you can is a little questionable.
Holy jeeps…the bounce houses were $1000 each 😳. Maybe they can be your next side hustle…hire them out to pay for all this 😂
The way she's spending and not making as much she may have to keep that in mind.
Awesome to take his hobby / interest and get him
A gift to improve it!!! These classes could be very beneficial!!!
Yes! It seems like such a cool program, we’ll see if it’s a good fit for him. 🤞
For an 8year old 😮😮😮😮😏🙄🙄🙄🙄
Shouldn’t y’all be focusing on PAYING YOUR BACK TAXES 😏😏😏🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Happy birthday bodhi, i wish you a amazing 8th birthday, you come so far!
More gigabytes are worth it he knows what he’s talking about lol
Dang it
Bless his heart He wants to be like his Brother lifting weights Bodhi is so sweet and precious ❤🧡❤🧡
🥰🥰🥰
When you go shopping do you get stopped from other people telling you that they watch you or what to take a picture. With you?
He seems like a really smart kid
Yes! Even when he was nonverbal (he started talking at 4) he knew everything, colors, numbers etc. One day one of his teachers said he didn’t know his shapes and the other teacher laughed and said ‘yes he does he’s just too dang smart and didn’t feel like doing his work so he pretends not to.’🤣
Every HP product I have had has been terrible, the laptop I had would consistently overheat and then eventually died, the printer we had before that was no better either
Maybe they have improved now so I hope it works out for what your son wants
I will never, ever buy another HP printer again either! Horrible!
I hate my hp laptop, it was the worse buy ever
My laptop HP doesn't have good Internet conection it's to slow
DELL>HP
A shout out to Bodhi HAPPY BIRTHDAY BODHI!! Hope u have a awesome 8th birthday cheers!!!
Thank you!🎉
Happy 8th birthday bodhi❤
Thank you!
Hope he had a great birthday 🎂 its great you encourage his love of coding it will be a excellent skill for when he get older ❤
Alicia, I do the same thing. I'm looking at a need in a store, and my cart is a mile away! 😂😂❤❤
Always 😂
I went on the Dougherty Dozen HQ channel and the party video wasn't on there. Would like to see the 2nd part to this.
Do your any of your kids like magna tiles I prefer to build things
Oh yes they love them! We have some.
Whats an HQ channel? and how do I get there? haha
It’s one of our other channels: @@DoughertyDozenHQ
Just in case for next time, helium at Party City only free with certain balloons. There’s a tag by those that are. Otherwise $1.59 each!
Why do you keep saying everything is generic. You are going way overboard on a 8 year old birthday. Christmas is around the corner
mind your biz....if you don't like scroll on and don't watch...hey
problem solved
He’ll get double at Christmas…they all do
Because it's not licensed.
@@TheSamjane4double of what …there is nothing left to buy her kids
@@cindisellers4307 she puts it out there so I can say something. How about you mind your business
Happy birthday to your son. 🎉 I just need to say 😮 where do you get the money? Tell me your ways please..I need some 😂

They don’t appreciate anything, they just expect it.
