“I’m not giving my kids a this year for no other reason than they don’t deserve it,” she said.
“And they’re my kids. I know my kids. I’ve seen what they’ve done all year and they don’t deserve it.
“They’ve literally got on my nerve for the last 365 days.”
Dawn said she “asks the very minimum of my kids”, but when they get home they “do nothing” – not even washing the dishes, taking the rubbish out or wiping toothpaste off the sink.
“I will literally have to call them four or five times while I’m out working and say to them, the dishes better be done,” she said.
“The floors better be vacuumed. The sink better be cleaned. The trash better be taken out. Y’all better have taken showers by the time I get there.
“Because if I come home at 10.30 at night and I have to sit at my kitchen table for two hours while everybody decides that that’s the time that they want to take showers, I’m kicking some ass.”
She went on to insist the kids “break everything” in her house, including their phones.
“I don’t have to pay $250 for a new phone every single time you break your phone,” she raged.
And Dawn also said she can’t stand the “selfishness” of her three youngest kids – or the amount they argue.
“They can’t get along for s**t,” she said.
“They fight, they bicker, they argue, they do that sibling bullshit. But it’s just to a point where it’s not normal.
“Maybe it’s because I’m so used to seeing my two older children really get along. They never argued.
“They never fought. They always helped each other. They always made sure s**t was done.
“But these three younger ones?
“Oh my f**king God.”
