A mum-of-12 has divided opinion after sharing details of how she fed her large family on holiday.
Alicia and her husband Josh Dougherty, from New York, US, have to fork out a fortune on a large food shop to feed their 12 kids.
And recently the couple took their family on holiday to Ocean City which was documented on their YouTube, Dougherty Dozen.

Posting to 812,000 subscribers, in one video the mum wrote: "Here's what my 12 kids ate today, day one in Ocean City.
"We got Dunkin' Donuts and fruit for breakfast. McDonald's for lunch."
And the voiceover is accompanied by snaps of the family's mammoth orders, plus a box of donuts they were gifted.
Alicia added: "I stocked the vacation rental pantry with snacks and fruit.
"And burgers, fries and tots from Tony Beef for dinner and the kids grabbed something from the freezer for dessert, bon appetit!"
Meanwhile a follow-up video, which documented day two of the trip, featured lots of takeaway food again.

In the second clip, the family were celebrating Harlee's fourth birthday.
The food included donuts and cakes for breakfast, pizza at the birthday party and a seafood spread for dinner.
As for dessert, a key lime pie and more cake was served.
Both videos had people talking online with many stunned by the couple's choices, although others defended the family.

One asked: "Why buy all those grocery if you're eating out?"
Another wrote: "They are so wasteful," to which someone replied: "Even if she doesn't finish it, who cares!
"It's their money to waste. And with 12 kids, I highly doubt it won't be eaten."
And a fan commented: "It's super impressive how you manage everything! I hope you guys have an awesome vacation!"
Alicia and Josh often share videos of their day-to-day life with people impressed by their chaotic family life of 14.
Recently the mum revealed how she spent £876 on her weekly food shop which included 25 bananas and 181 packs of chips.
And the pair also speak about their journey as parents.
