Mother of 12 gives children nachos in baby bath and is criticized

This is nacho average family style snack.

A mom of 12 pooled her resources and treated her brood to a Tex-Mex-inspired nacho platter — complete with tortilla chips, ground beef, a gooey cheese sauce, veggies, and a sour cream drizzle, as seen in a now-viral video.

And she served the shareable chow to her kids in a tiny pool, which grossed-out haters say is utterly “insane.”

“[Snack] board got an upgrade to a #NachoPool for Cinco de Mayo,” Alicia Dougherty, 42, of New York, wrote in the caption of her popular TikTok confessional.

“Nacho pool party for my 12 kids,” she added in the caption of the clip, which has been viewed more than 1.9 million times.

In the video, Dougherty — who, along with husband Josh, 44, is raising a blended family of biological and adopted toddlers ranging in age from 4 to 17 — is seen building the surprise appetizer in a blue paddling pool, which is usually used to cool off. cooling. of babies.

After tossing several bags of tortilla chips into the bowl, she smothered the crunchy bites with a smorgasbord of toppings.

“At what point do we start thinking, ‘This is insane?’ because I think you’ve passed that point,” wrote an equally troubled commenter.

“My mom would call this sloppy,” added another, followed by a separate objector who said, “I’m beyond disgusting.”
