Girl in the back, left hand corner.. opening presents, holding up a sweater, looking at it and it breaks my heart. She may as well be in a room by herself. :(
Wow I’ve never seen so many unappreciative children apart from Navaeh and Bree. Opened their presents in a frenzy in less than 13 minutes. Cleared off and left the rubbish. Never said thank you to the parents or the grandparents. After opening the presents they all cleared off, how bizarre not spending the time together.
Yes but that give u no rights to speak disrespectfully on her kids.there just kids so have of the things they say they might not mean it in a rudely way
Did you notice that every time he opened a gift, he would ask Alicia what it was or why she got it for him, and when he started to complain about Nana's gift, Alisha cut that part out.
i'm not going to lie getting everyone the same few presents doesn't feel special because none of the kids can feel excited or feeling like "they earned it" because everyone else got an iPad and a new phone. Yes Christmas isn't about what you get it's about the love you share, but the more you buy them things the more they want. especially the two who aren't hers are one day going to go home and not getting what they had which isn't good because it's not teaching anyone anything if they are just handed whatever they want.
Where are all the other teens? Why is Neveah the only one helping & showing her appreciation by doing so. What a great young woman! Neveah you’re the best! The teen boys are so entitled & ungrateful. Also Harley, Bodi, Jason & Jordan & Dash did not need iPhones - they are too you g to appreciate them or take care of them. Merry Christmas to beautiful Neveah!
This breaks my heart. This is what happens when you have too many children. The quieter ones go unnoticed. Not one person interacted with Zoey. No one shared in her joy or showed interest in her gifts. What are mum and dad doing????
Non of these kids appreciate anything. The way you treat them is disgraceful. They want you not all the vlogging you do. ITS TIME YOU PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN.

I love when they take the time to read the card, say thank you and mean it. Some kids are very Grabby and don't seem to care, just want the next present. I wish they would slow down a d appreciate it all...they are beyond blessed and don't think they all realize that.
Hardly any of the kids were appreciative or properly looked at their presents but the twins are the worst for it. You’re literally raising spoilt brats
Totally agree...the papa organized all his baseball cards and stuff for him and he didn't even thank him. And Zoey in the background says..so he got re-gifted he own gift! So so ungrateful its awful!
Wouldn’t it have been better to split the kids in two groups? Young ones open theirs first then tidy. Then teens open theirs, then tidy away. This just looks chaotic and things will get lost.
You should have let them have at least one special day, where they could celebrate in peace without the pressure and anxiety brought by being watched by millions of strangers on the internet. It isn’t fair to put your children under the spotlight like this when they don’t understand the repercussions…
Alicia has all her fans clamoring for this content. She HAS to vlog it. I can't imagine having millions? of people watching my Christmas morning as a kid or young teen. ESPECIALLY without my consent.
Each kid should have gotten a personalized garbage bag & told to pick up their own trash. That would be better than letting them just walk on the trash. The parents shouldn't have to pick it up. Nevaeh was the only kid to help clean up & to give Alisha a hug in appreciation.
This is absolutely insane. Just a huge chaos. There was nothing happy and personal about this, they just ripped all the gifts open you couldn’t see any reaction BECAUSE THESE KID DONT EVEN REACT ANYMORE. They don’t even say thank you because you’re FLOODING them with gifts and gifts and gifts every other month. It’s not special. Your kids aren’t grateful at all Alicia, and it’s your fault. They won’t be able to live like this all the time and it will be HARD for these kids one day. I was looking at Zoey and she didn’t look amused. They need love, a hug and some nice words and not 20.000$ worth of bs. Most depressing Christmas ever
It was so nice seeing James get a meaningful present from his bio parents and being so excited for it. He has a passion and they see that & support it! I hope Alicia doesn't ruin that.
How could you watch this and see no reaction?! Omg they were literally squealing with glee. Some of these comments it’s just so clear you hate her to the point of delusion, you’re not even able to watch objectively anymore. My suggestion is stop watching. Hate watching is the most ridiculous this I’ve. See. 😊
Who's yours. Stop hating . Remember these kids are foster kids and for them to even have a Christmas like this is Amazing !!!! Some don't even get this.
@@jamiepowell3036 agree! If you’re just typing to watch to make hate comments don’t watch! I try my hardest for any channel to keep any negative comments to myself.
Genuinely curious if this is an US thing, but where I’m from we hand out presents one by one and only move on to the next after the person has finished opening it, that way we can see everyone’s reaction, which to me is always the best part…I understand this would have taken a lot of time since there are so many kids (and so many gifts) but I got a little heart broken seeing all these missed reactions, especially when Bree was so excited about her doll but mum couldn’t hear her through all the excitement 😟
Yeah that's the traditional way most people do it and the best way in my eyes. I've seen videos of Christmas day where the presents were not even wrapped the kids just walk in and see everything they got right away. Takes away all the fun and stuff.
When Nevea came up behind you and gave you that hug made me want to cry. I bet her and her brother had such an Amazing Christmas. You could see how much she appreciated all that you did for them
Pretty sure it was a little difficult for them too, being that its the first without their mum. No matter what the reason for them living with Alicha children love their parents and will miss them when not with them
Such ungrateful kids not saying thank you for there presents , there are children that don’t recive. Presents. You need to learn them some manners 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I think you should be teaching these children to pick up after themselves instead of it all being picked up by their “sister”. Also I feel like we have all got away from the true meaning of Christmas….it’s not about how much expensive crap you get. So disgusted.They didn’t even seem that thankful for all those expensive gifts either. My opinion
It was a lovely video but I was upset with mum videoing while baby harlee was asking for her attention …I understand the need to film reactions for birth family’s but that got to me a little sorry
How do you feel knowing that you’ve stolen a massive donation from a company who you agreed to work with and make that donation, but instead you opened everything so now it can’t be donated and made sandwiches which are now in the bin…
Maybe I missed it but was there a thank you to Nevaha for being the only one to help clean up. What a kind soul she is. And she is the only one I saw giving a hug for her gratitude. I did hear Patrick say I love you a few times.
@@greekgirl9897 but Alicia would want those clips to be in the film because she loves when the kids say thank you, well when they do use their manners.
@@madelinejarrett8540 it was nice Nevaeh to help her clean up. When I was a kid there was eight of us they watch how we open gifts like this too. And my mom and dad set around with a big smile on my face loved watching us open our gifts which put a big smile on their face. Fill them with joy just seeing us happy and joyful. And yes one of us older girls would be the ones to help pick up afterwards you know we did not expect our mom to say thank you. Why would they say thank you, and we just gotten all those gifts. You people that complain don't even know what you are complaining, you about one time they don't say thank you enough another time she doesn't say thank you enough . Another time she doesn't love her kid you enough she spends to much money on her family, Which it's not your business., I think she just has a bunch of trolls in the right to get on here and be jerks
Yes! Even on their birthdays. Just ripping through the gifts like nothing. Shoving them to the side and on the next 🤦🏻♀️ but like you said, it’s not their fault. Fully blame the “parents”.
Do y’all have 12 kids to raise? No I don’t think so. Think about how difficult it is for them to keep up with having twelve kids. Also think about the fact the the majority are adopted and possibly came from not great homes. Yes Josh and Alisha probably struggle to raise all twelve kids but the ones that were adopted probably had parents that weren’t the best or a parent that wasn’t the best. They are giving those kids a better life than the would have had. Think about that before you go an bash their parenting.
@@stayceachziger5123 if it’s difficult for them to raise twelve children they shouldn’t have adopted them in the first place. this was clearly their choice. it doesn’t matter how many kids you got, manners should be taught either way. that is not an excuse.
I get the kids were exited but all that screaming and screeching was unbelievable and painful to my ears. No thank yous, no helping to clean up, then they all toddled off to their rooms. That to me is not a happy family Christmas day. Josh lying sprawled out like a couch potato paying no attention to the kids receiving their presents from Nana and paps. The vast majority of these kids have been taught nothing apart from entitlement..
Heres some words for you to learn Alicia “ harley move out of the way it’s not your turn”. Her head is bigger than any of the kids and she’s all in everyone’s business. Stop using excuse she is the youngest. It’s not going to do her any favors in the future.
Oh wow....this is heartbreaking......the kids apart from James are so ungrateful!!!! No thank yous no acknowledgement for the thoughtful gifts from grandparents....no wonder they all go early. Alicia and josh...teach your kids decency and manners! How are you allowed to have so many kids....so wrong
**edit: i love the way the second grandparents did things. Are they joshs parents??** Overwhelming af. Sensory overload!!! They should each open a gift at the same time and throw all the paper away as they go. Then everyone can be more patient, share the attention, everyone can acknowledge each other's gifts and be more grateful/appreciative/joyous. It also stretches it out more, so it is longer and more involved family time. Aaaannnddd it isn't so overwhelming and overstimulating. This is pure chaos. I can only imagine how many gifts ended up in the trash with all that special paper. SMH. No magic on Christmas. No joy. No family spirit. Just good ol' consumerism at its finest.
I agree completely. I am afraid that most of the viewers here give the Dohertys too much credit. They receive money from the state each month for the care of each one of those foster children. Don't you ever wonder why not one of those children has been adopted? People are so gullible and so willing to believe what they want to believe.
Zoey just sitting there watching the chaos and taking her bag of gifts probably to go open In peace. How can this be fun for anyone. Alicia just sitting there center stage only watching Bodi with her fake smile on . Disgust.
I can honestly say with 100% recall never even once did I ask how much my present cost after I finished unwrapping. So ungrateful and spoiled. It's not amount of money that it cost it's the emotion and the love of the giver behind the gift
The onus is on the parents to teach these life skills successfully navigate the process what is important what is it isn't. You are right they're just kids but if kids don't learn this crucial life skill they will have a hard time navigating many social cues. I would hate to go through life without anticipation, contentment, empathy for others struggles, gratitude, joy in the act of giving & being able to read the room as well as your family and friends.
5 hours to wrap it and 5 minutes for it to get destroyed without so much as a thank you 🤯 I wonder what Christmas is going to look like in this household at the end of the year
good lord, so many rules with nana's presents lol. And didn't hear any "thank you for the present" comments from the kids either. that's on mom and dad.
What a fun Christmas! Nevaeh is such a beautiful soul and her hug was lovely. James reminds me so much of my son, his mannerisms and even his laugh, it’s so sweet to see how much the dogs are bonded to him and always want his attention. Great kids & beautiful family. Happy New Year 🎉🎉
It was so sweet how he got emotional over the wooden spoon with the saying on it. He is such a sweet guy. I’m excited to see how he does in the future!!!
@@robinwhite184why are you giving her a compliment on someone else's post meaning she most likely won't see it just the one who posted the main comment? Lol some ppl these days
Im sure this year some patents couldnt do this,thanks alicia for rubbing in the faces who couldnt ,my kids had an amazing xmas also but not evetyone feels the need to tape it post it show it off ,you are looking more like the comments ppl say about you
I feel so so bad for zoey. The way she just stays on the couch opening her presents slowly with no excitement is heartbreaking. She deserves a loving mom who doesn’t film absolutely everything in her life, and doesn’t spoil her kids so much that they will never understand life in the real world.
didn’t her mum record her crying on live stream after she came home from getting bullied? maybe it was another kid. but honestly these poor kids barely get attention. Alex is definitely the favourite. also zoey said she had gotten all off the games before, you can clearly tell her mum doesn’t spend time with her enough.
There’s 2 words I taught my kids when they were young & I’m so glad I did. I was taught them at a young age & I’m sure they’ll teach their kids. THANK YOU.
I agree totally. If you’re not taught it then you don’t know to say it. They might have said it later but it means more when said at the time, not just as an after thought.
@@DrAlien_ TBF it was said by a couple of the other kids. I watched how one of the twins took the other twins brand new trainer outta the box sneered and almost threw it back in the box …. Nothing has value but everything has a price to some of these kids manners really do get you so far in life and should be expected from when they can talk.
I love how everyone writing stupid comments on here about kids having no manners when they have no manners themselves. Coming onto someones channel and saying nasty things about them! People need to look up the meaning of the word manners! Also look up gratitude - thank you is only one way of showing gratitude!
I loved seeing Zoe leaning on Alex's arm when the kids were opening Nana and Papa's gifts. That was a natural moment in time for them and showed a familiar level of comfort between them. Alex is always so good helping with the younger kids. You can tell he loves his siblings and they love him. He's a great role model for them to look up to. ❤️ Happy New Year Dougherty's!

That's really sweet
I love when they take the time to read the card, say thank you and mean it. Some kids are very Grabby and don't seem to care, just want the next present. I wish they would slow down a d appreciate it all...they are beyond blessed and don't think they all realize that.
Yes! I noticed and loved these parts also!
@@maribethmcaroy Yes, it would be nice if we ALL would be humble enough to be grateful for our many blessings. And without CRITISIZING others.
I thought that James was the “nice one” why was he bullying deshawn about likening the smell of new shoes and clothes. What a jerk!!
Neveah was the only one that helped clean. But none of the kids said thank you, especially to the grandparents gifts.
not a single thank you from the children when their grandma handed them their presents. Teach these kids some manners
22:39 Alex said thank you.
Hardly any of the kids were appreciative or properly looked at their presents but the twins are the worst for it. You’re literally raising spoilt brats
Totally agree...the papa organized all his baseball cards and stuff for him and he didn't even thank him. And Zoey in the background says..so he got re-gifted he own gift! So so ungrateful its awful!
especially cuz that’s not even their family or parents 😭 some of these kids are only with her for temporary
I think that Josh is the most UNGREATFUL BETWEEN THE TWINS!
Shouldn't matter if they are with them temporary or not BE FREAKEN GREATFUL AND SAY THANK YOU IN APPRECIATION
The Twins need to clean up their Christmas paper Mess!!
Zoe looks like she would rather be anywhere but there
Lol ikr 🤣
She said she didn't sleep well, the poor thing. Christmas is such a busy day, especially if you are tired.
I absolutely adore Brees excitement! She is so enthusiastic about everything. We all need a Bree in our life! She is always so appreciative.
I was looking for this comment! She has come so far and is such a beautiful little girl!🥰
At the first part of the vlog I really wanted to see her reaction when she opened all her presents
she's a wonderful kid, always so kind.
She is my favourite and James. He gets ignored a lot 😥
dash was so ungreatfull
That’s what happens when you’re given great things all the time. He probably doesn’t understand
Wouldn’t it have been better to split the kids in two groups? Young ones open theirs first then tidy. Then teens open theirs, then tidy away. This just looks chaotic and things will get lost.
You should have let them have at least one special day, where they could celebrate in peace without the pressure and anxiety brought by being watched by millions of strangers on the internet. It isn’t fair to put your children under the spotlight like this when they don’t understand the repercussions…
Alicia has all her fans clamoring for this content. She HAS to vlog it. I can't imagine having millions? of people watching my Christmas morning as a kid or young teen. ESPECIALLY without my consent.
Each kid should have gotten a personalized garbage bag & told to pick up their own trash. That would be better than letting them just walk on the trash. The parents shouldn't have to pick it up. Nevaeh was the only kid to help clean up & to give Alisha a hug in appreciation.
The kids rarely have to take responsibility for their own day to day mess. Given their current lack of structure I’m not surprised.
Thought you said the games were lost in NY?? Your daughter clearly said she has them…
I see you Zoey! I’d find a quiet corner to open my things too! ❤️
Those kids were so awful to the 2nd set of grandparents!!! Parents need to do better!!!!
The excess is crazy - overload!!! The kids actually look tired from opening gifts!!!!
This is absolutely insane. Just a huge chaos. There was nothing happy and personal about this, they just ripped all the gifts open you couldn’t see any reaction BECAUSE THESE KID DONT EVEN REACT ANYMORE. They don’t even say thank you because you’re FLOODING them with gifts and gifts and gifts every other month. It’s not special. Your kids aren’t grateful at all Alicia, and it’s your fault. They won’t be able to live like this all the time and it will be HARD for these kids one day. I was looking at Zoey and she didn’t look amused. They need love, a hug and some nice words and not 20.000$ worth of bs. Most depressing Christmas ever
It was so nice seeing James get a meaningful present from his bio parents and being so excited for it. He has a passion and they see that & support it! I hope Alicia doesn't ruin that.
How could you watch this and see no reaction?! Omg they were literally squealing with glee. Some of these comments it’s just so clear you hate her to the point of delusion, you’re not even able to watch objectively anymore. My suggestion is stop watching. Hate watching is the most ridiculous this I’ve. See. 😊
Ummm thats what kids do on Christmas and she did get thank yous , hugs and reactions . Guess you were watching another video......
Who's yours. Stop hating . Remember these kids are foster kids and for them to even have a Christmas like this is Amazing !!!!
Some don't even get this.
@@jamiepowell3036 agree! If you’re just typing to watch to make hate comments don’t watch! I try my hardest for any channel to keep any negative comments to myself.
She’s such a liar. 🤥 she said they lost all the games and here they say they already have all the ones she bought. Terrible liar
Maybe Zoey didn't realize all the switch games were lost. Why must you assume the worst?
@@Pandora_369 oh please
@@Pandora_369 she’d have known they were “missing” by now
if ZOEY has all the games this might be the biggest scandal of them all. AHAHAHA
Genuinely curious if this is an US thing, but where I’m from we hand out presents one by one and only move on to the next after the person has finished opening it, that way we can see everyone’s reaction, which to me is always the best part…I understand this would have taken a lot of time since there are so many kids (and so many gifts) but I got a little heart broken seeing all these missed reactions, especially when Bree was so excited about her doll but mum couldn’t hear her through all the excitement 😟
Yeah that's the traditional way most people do it and the best way in my eyes. I've seen videos of Christmas day where the presents were not even wrapped the kids just walk in and see everything they got right away. Takes away all the fun and stuff.
We always do presents one at a time and take turns we also dis that whe I grew up
That's the way we always do it and I live in U.S.
Some families still do it that way.
Alex enjoying the other kids opening their gifts was really touching. Also, Nivea is so genuine. The food looked great. Happy New Year Dougherty’s!
James getting the spoon was so sweet. Electronics will come and go but I feel he will cherish that spoon.
absolutely
Ungrateful children, not one said thank you. Teach them manners Alicia and Josh.
When Nevea came up behind you and gave you that hug made me want to cry. I bet her and her brother had such an Amazing Christmas. You could see how much she appreciated all that you did for them
Pretty sure it was a little difficult for them too, being that its the first without their mum. No matter what the reason for them living with Alicha children love their parents and will miss them when not with them
Yes I one hundred % agree with you.
Who’s her biological brother ?:)
Not many thank you’s to Nana when she was handing out presents, just snatching the presents off her.
Such ungrateful kids not saying thank you for there presents , there are children that don’t recive. Presents. You need to learn them some manners 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I think you should be teaching these children to pick up after themselves instead of it all being picked up by their “sister”. Also I feel like we have all got away from the true meaning of Christmas….it’s not about how much expensive crap you get. So disgusted.They didn’t even seem that thankful for all those expensive gifts either. My opinion
It was a lovely video but I was upset with mum videoing while baby harlee was asking for her attention …I understand the need to film reactions for birth family’s but that got to me a little sorry
How do you feel knowing that you’ve stolen a massive donation from a company who you agreed to work with and make that donation, but instead you opened everything so now it can’t be donated and made sandwiches which are now in the bin…
She probably feels great! She got to make content out of it more $$$ 🤑
💯
@@cottoncandy8793 💯
Wth? All I hear is screaming like someone being killed.
😂😂😂😂 so so loud! 😮😮
Maybe I missed it but was there a thank you to Nevaha for being the only one to help clean up. What a kind soul she is. And she is the only one I saw giving a hug for her gratitude. I did hear Patrick say I love you a few times.
The only thank you i saw, was Nevaeh giving Alicia a hug.
I'M SURE WE ALL MISSED ALOT! SHE CAN'T FILM EVERY SECOND.
And a poor effort of hug back
@@greekgirl9897 but Alicia would want those clips to be in the film because she loves when the kids say thank you, well when they do use their manners.
@@madelinejarrett8540 it was nice Nevaeh to help her clean up. When I was a kid there was eight of us they watch how we open gifts like this too. And my mom and dad set around with a big smile on my face loved watching us open our gifts which put a big smile on their face. Fill them with joy just seeing us happy and joyful. And yes one of us older girls would be the ones to help pick up afterwards you know we did not expect our mom to say thank you. Why would they say thank you, and we just gotten all those gifts. You people that complain don't even know what you are complaining, you about one time they don't say thank you enough another time she doesn't say thank you enough . Another time she doesn't love her kid you enough she spends to much money on her family, Which it's not your business., I think she just has a bunch of trolls in the right to get on here and be jerks
The way one of the twins snatched the gift from Grandma !!! 😱😱😱 Can't say I blame him. This is Alishas raising for you.
Yes! Even on their birthdays. Just ripping through the gifts like nothing. Shoving them to the side and on the next 🤦🏻♀️ but like you said, it’s not their fault. Fully blame the “parents”.
Do y’all have 12 kids to raise? No I don’t think so. Think about how difficult it is for them to keep up with having twelve kids. Also think about the fact the the majority are adopted and possibly came from not great homes. Yes Josh and Alisha probably struggle to raise all twelve kids but the ones that were adopted probably had parents that weren’t the best or a parent that wasn’t the best. They are giving those kids a better life than the would have had. Think about that before you go an bash their parenting.
I would hate to see how your children turn out.
@@stayceachziger5123 if it’s difficult for them to raise twelve children they shouldn’t have adopted them in the first place. this was clearly their choice. it doesn’t matter how many kids you got, manners should be taught either way. that is not an excuse.
You just jealous you cant afford gifts for your kids
No hugs, I didn't even hear a thank you from them. They just throw everything around . And why are you in your phone the WHOLE TIME?
I love how she sits in the middle of all the chaos knowing she created it, and loving every second. LMAO!
I get the kids were exited but all that screaming and screeching was unbelievable and painful to my ears. No thank yous, no helping to clean up, then they all toddled off to their rooms. That to me is not a happy family Christmas day. Josh lying sprawled out like a couch potato paying no attention to the kids receiving their presents from Nana and paps. The vast majority of these kids have been taught nothing apart from entitlement..
Heres some words for you to learn Alicia “ harley move out of the way it’s not your turn”. Her head is bigger than any of the kids and she’s all in everyone’s business. Stop using excuse she is the youngest. It’s not going to do her any favors in the future.
I love this channel but I’m still confused on why the 6 and 4 year old got a phone
How much do you pay Katy to slag anyone that doesn’t put up an amazing message for you?
Why dose a 4 year old need a iPhone 14 and iPad 10 I did not get a iPhone till I was 11 and I’m 12 and I’m on the 6 she is just going to be spoiled
You're supposed to be 13+ to have a RUclips account.
@@em_si ok I’m going to be 13 in 5 months
@@ellisilveus81 Ok, and?
These kids have no manners. Some of my kids first words were “Please and thank you” by the time they were 3 they knew it was an expectation.
Well aren't u a goody 2 shoes leave the kids alone if u don't like it stop watching plus everyone: is so happy
Worry about your own children
phone, recording a TikTok comes first
being present with family while kids open their gifts comes second in this household apparently
Oh wow....this is heartbreaking......the kids apart from James are so ungrateful!!!! No thank yous no acknowledgement for the thoughtful gifts from grandparents....no wonder they all go early. Alicia and josh...teach your kids decency and manners! How are you allowed to have so many kids....so wrong
Dont these kids have manners and say Thank You to Grandma and parents for all they got.. Please teach to appricate what they get.. Thats it..
**edit: i love the way the second grandparents did things. Are they joshs parents??** Overwhelming af. Sensory overload!!! They should each open a gift at the same time and throw all the paper away as they go. Then everyone can be more patient, share the attention, everyone can acknowledge each other's gifts and be more grateful/appreciative/joyous. It also stretches it out more, so it is longer and more involved family time. Aaaannnddd it isn't so overwhelming and overstimulating. This is pure chaos. I can only imagine how many gifts ended up in the trash with all that special paper. SMH. No magic on Christmas. No joy. No family spirit. Just good ol' consumerism at its finest.
I agree completely. I am afraid that most of the viewers here give the Dohertys too much credit. They receive money from the state each month for the care of each one of those foster children. Don't you ever wonder why not one of those children has been adopted? People are so gullible and so willing to believe what they want to believe.
@@ercieberwick1513 they have been adopted.
Zoey just sitting there watching the chaos and taking her bag of gifts probably to go open In peace. How can this be fun for anyone. Alicia just sitting there center stage only watching Bodi with her fake smile on . Disgust.
zoey had everything already, clearly she doesn’t get enough time/attention with her mum :((
I thought bohdi has sensory issues and can't handle opening a ton of presents at once?
I can honestly say with 100% recall never even once did I ask how much my present cost after I finished unwrapping. So ungrateful and spoiled. It's not amount of money that it cost it's the emotion and the love of the giver behind the gift
who said that
they're kids?? what's wrong with you
chill tf out they are literally kids… i used to ask that question in shock. it’s not a big deal.
The onus is on the parents to teach these life skills successfully navigate the process what is important what is it isn't.
You are right they're just kids but if kids don't learn this crucial life skill they will have a hard time navigating many social cues. I would hate to go through life without anticipation, contentment, empathy for others struggles, gratitude, joy in the act of giving & being able to read the room as well as your family and friends.
I don't think they really wanted or needed most of those gifts. Such a shame those children have a big reality check coming.
Bodhi don't seem to be suffering with overloading, he's going n going.. bless him
5 hours to wrap it and 5 minutes for it to get destroyed without so much as a thank you 🤯 I wonder what Christmas is going to look like in this household at the end of the year
good lord, so many rules with nana's presents lol. And didn't hear any "thank you for the present" comments from the kids either. that's on mom and dad.
I think it’s safe to say that Bodhi can handle more than 4 small birthday gifts next year.
my thoughts exactly.
YOU FILMED ON CHRISTMAS DAY?! ALICIA TJIS IS SOMETHING ELSE
Would have liked to hear a thank you or two! Especially towards the grandparents !
Open your ears. It was said multiple times
did you not see the hug from neveah or hear patrick’s “i love you mom”? there’s a million ways to say thank you
@misswoo9522 you sound personally offended
@@jamiek09 errr no it wasn’t! Bree said it once !
Saddest Christmas morning I’ve seen in a long time.
Why is that? 😊
How?, they were all very thrilled
Why exactly is that ?
Here's wishing you the worst Christmas ever this year ❤❤❤
Zoey seems overwhelmed
What a fun Christmas! Nevaeh is such a beautiful soul and her hug was lovely. James reminds me so much of my son, his mannerisms and even his laugh, it’s so sweet to see how much the dogs are bonded to him and always want his attention. Great kids & beautiful family. Happy New Year 🎉🎉
It was so sweet how he got emotional over the wooden spoon with the saying on it. He is such a sweet guy. I’m excited to see how he does in the future!!!
Dogs can sniff out a good heart.

I feel so so bad for zoey. The way she just stays on the couch opening her presents slowly with no excitement is heartbreaking. She deserves a loving mom who doesn’t film absolutely everything in her life, and doesn’t spoil her kids so much that they will never understand life in the real world.
She probably looked online and already saw what she was getting

@@aimvero7166 sorry what? I don’t understand what you mean.
didn’t her mum record her crying on live stream after she came home from getting bullied? maybe it was another kid.
but honestly these poor kids barely get attention. Alex is definitely the favourite.
also zoey said she had gotten all off the games before, you can clearly tell her mum doesn’t spend time with her enough.
Lovely kids 😊 Although a bit disappointed one of the kids opened up their presents without any reaction before opening the next. I was always grateful
Jame's biological family looks kind and caring
agree
Such a mad house. Isn't it more fun to take turns or a few go at a time?
Jason opened the iPhone didn’t say thanks put it down went on the next thing
Nana and papa did gift opening right. Slow down and appreciate! Love that
💯 and that’s how it should be
Did they say Thankyou to Grandparents?
There’s 2 words I taught my kids when they were young & I’m so glad I did. I was taught them at a young age & I’m sure they’ll teach their kids. THANK YOU.
I agree totally. If you’re not taught it then you don’t know to say it. They might have said it later but it means more when said at the time, not just as an after thought.
@@DrAlien_ TBF it was said by a couple of the other kids. I watched how one of the twins took the other twins brand new trainer outta the box sneered and almost threw it back in the box ….
