Watching "Outdaughtered" again

[Anonymous]

I'm not a Busby fan, but I have a relative who has quint boys and dressing them alike wasn't done for cutesy purposes, but for safety reasons and ease of locating them.

She started doing it when they hit the walking stage as it was easier to keep track of 5 boys in blue Hawaiian shirts than remembering each unique outfit for each boy.

Same reason why big family groups opt for the annoying matching tees when going to Disney. Or why schoolkids will sometimes get a special tee to wear on field trip day so the teachers can easily count up X number of neon green shirts.

The boys are now 9 and the only time she can really get the dressed alike is when going out in public to a big place like a theme park or similar. Other than that, they developed their own personalities and opinions about clothes at around age 7. That's when she stopped buying five of every outfit and just buying 5 of two outfits for special outings.

I totally get doing matching outfits. It’s the Busbys’ inflated sense of importance that kills me.

The Busby Parents feel entitled to all of the freebees they get by whoring out the quints on tv and for endorsements. is Adam the only father who feels he is missing out on something in their lives by having to earn a living? Give me a break. Who paid for the 17 person family trip to Hawaii?

O.k. go out and get pregnant with quints. I'm guessing that's a lot easier said then done.

No one expects to get pregnant with quints.

How many spontaneous quint pregnancies are you aware of? Pretty sure the answer is zero.

So, you find out after a procedure you paid for that you are pregnant with high level multiples. You have options at that point.

I'm pretty sure the Dionne quints were spontaneous.

Nonetheless, if you're unwilling to consider selective reduction, then you should probably not do anything that would lead to the need to have to consider it. I, for one, am tired of hearing about people having large litters of children and then whining about the costs and work involved in raising them. There's the new family that's going to be on TLC who needed help to have their first 3 kids and then had sextuplets. I feel zero sympathy for them.

Why doesn't someone in that family slap those brats when they throw a tandrum?

I JUST READ WHERE THE BUSBYS RECEIVE BETWEEN $25K AND $40K PER EPISODE TO WHORE OUT THEIR CHILDREN ON TELEVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!
More people should take fertility drugs to get rich.

I think Mimi is the actual mother of the quints?

Where is this whining? If anything, the Busbys seem to downplay how difficult raising children is sometimes.

They don't necessarily downplay it, they're just not bright enough to understand it and prepare for it. I saw a rerun yesterday where they took the quints on a family vacation for the first time and Danielle complained what a nightmare it was. Never mind, for example, that they took young toddlers to a nice restaurant when they were overtired and hungry. Whether due to ignorance or poor planning, they don't seem to do much to try to set the kids up for success.

Adam is ridiculous on social media, especially on his IG. If he had an actual job, plus being the father of six girls, he wouldn’t have so much time to sass back at strangers.

Well, a man's gotta have time to do his hair.

Tough crowd. I thought they handled a really bad situation (mold and househunt at Thanksgiving) well.

Why does Danielle always drive? Adam is constantly in the passenger seat.

Adam drives when they're in the truck, but Danielle drives the van.

Honestly, both Danielle and Adam seem a bit uncomfortable in the spotlight. I always get the impression that they are trying to come up with things to make their show/themselves interesting. They come across as a bit overly dramatic.

In contrast, Kate Gosselin seemed to thrive off the attention and enjoyed letting an outside audience see her authentic self. She really IS that picky, organized and demanding. If Kate had been more like Jon, their show would have been a dud.

Adam and Danielle are more guarded and come across like (bad) actors in their show. Mimi could have walked straight out of a melodramatic sitcom. I don't really care for the show that much tbh even though I think that they are all most likely very nice people.

PP, I disagree as far as Adam. He looooves the spotlight.

Personal gripe: That’s not a “school.” That’s a daycare. As a teacher, I dislike when daycares are called schools and the workers are called teachers.

Whether it is a school or a daycare, those kids' test scores show that what Adam/Danielle and the school/daycare staff are doing well by them all. The girls are all very smart. It is hard to believe that they were extreme preemies with their scores and developmentally they seem to be on track. That is amazing!

And Mimi really came through on that rental house. It is hard to believe that she is the same Mimi from 2 years ago. She is really getting her stuff together.
