A real-life “Cheaper by the Dozen” family.
One-night stands can usually go one of two ways. This fortunate couple got frisky for a night, fell in love and the rest is history.
Alicia and Josh Dougherty moved in together after only knowing each other for two days — and now they are the parents to 11 children.
The New York-based family has quite a following on social media — 7.5 million TikTok followers to be exact — where they consistently post videos about the chaos of life as a family of 13.
The couple has four biological children — Zoey, Dash, Bodhi, and Harlee — and eight children that they’re fostering or adopting- Alex, James, Jordan, Jason, Patrick, Bree, Nevaeh, and Dayshawn.
With such a massive following, it’s clear people cannot get enough of this charming family.
Oftentimes, Alicia will give a glimpse to the family’s millions of followers into a what a day of eating for her kids looks like.
While the jaw-dropping spread looks like something a person would only find at a hotel buffet breakfast — in the Dougherty household, it’s just another regular day for them.
To feed the mouths of that many kids — the couple revealed on TikTok that an average trip to Walmart consists of filling up four shopping carts supposedly totaling a little over $1,000 — and that’s just for the week.
Having that many kids is clearly not for the weak.
Alicia has also posted the family’s morning routine, which requires making 11 sandwiches, packing monogrammed lunch bags complete with snacks and all the fixings — in addition to getting breakfast on the table all before the kiddos head off to school.
Clearly this giant family has their routines down to a science — and viewers can’t get enough of them.
“You’re a great mom!” a follower commented on one of the Dougherty’s videos.
“The food looks so good!! Such a sweet mom,” wrote someone else on a video of Aicia preparing breakfast and lunch for her clan.
“How does she do it?” chimed in someone else.
“How big is your fridge?!!!” someone commented on the video of Alicia food shopping for her family.
