MUM-OF-10 Alicia Dougherty went all out to ensure her kids enjoyed Valentine's Day this year - with a tea party stocked full of sweet treats for her brood.

The matriarch of the Dougherty Dozen took to TikTok to share a video of what her family ate on the romantic holiday.

"For breakfast they had red heart-shaped waffles, bacon and heart-shaped strawberries," she began the video, showing off the breakfast spread.

As they were still at school, Alicia packed her kids some "leftover spaghetti and meatballs, corn and some yoghurt".

Then, when they were home from school, she held a cute Valentine's tea party "with plenty of snacks and desserts", including cupcakes, biscuits and popcorn.

To conclude their day's feast, they had "cheesy grits, shrimp, veggies and rice, southern biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy", followed by "peach cobbler for dessert".

"Bon Appetit!" Alicia concluded the clip.

While the majority of comments on the video praised Alicia for doing such a good job with her kids, others were less than impressed with her decision to use red food dye to colour the breakfast waffles.

"I love you and your rad family!" one person wrote. "But please don't use red food dye, it's so bad for you!"

Someone else asked Alicia if she'd used beetroot food dye for the waffles, to which she answered: "I ran out of that, it does work though.

"This is the basic red food colouring."

Others were more complimentary about Alicia's Valentine's setup, with one writing: "You were destined to be a mum, and what a brilliant one you are!"

"You are literally the best mom. Be mineeee," another person wrote.

"Oh my goodness all of this looks so yummy!!! Im so jealous!!!!" a third person commented.

In other family news, this man was left fuming after his brother-in-law stole his baby name for his own tot.

This woman named her daughter after her grandmother, but the nurse laughed when she revealed the moniker.

And this woman was left devastated after her husband said he wouldn't be in the delivery room when she gives birth unless his mum can be too.
