OutDaughtered - General Discussion

Oh I know. I was just throwing out suggestions. I know there has been no indication of Parker being on the spectrum. I was just suggesting those issues can affect anyone, whether on the spectrum or not. No doubt you are right that Ava was just annoying Parker. Just siblings being siblings. Probably realized it annoyed her and she continued to do it. 

Ava was absolutely doing it to annoy Parker. It would annoy me, too. Ava has figured out that it is irritating and it gets a reaction. She was also doing it to Dale in the restaurant. She was all up in his face, smacking in his ear while he was trying to eat his dinner. Someone needs to tell her to knock it off.

Oh I missed that part of the show. I don't understand how parents can just sit back and not do anything to correct this type of behavior, or laugh about it. I never would have put up with my kids acting like that. And my kids never would have done anything like that because I taught them manners. And respect for others. Tell me something,  what is wrong with teaching your child(ren) manners? Adumb and Danielle are losers and are raising a pack of wild brats.

You are so right in my opinion, there is such an inherent lack of respect in N American society in general.  The Busby’s have that and they’re so annoying.

[Elodia]

When the Busbys and the Millses were in the Pancakehouse I noticed once again how rude Danielle can be. Without looking at the waiter she told him she "needed  4 more plates" and of course, she didn't say thank you when she got them. What's wrong with asking politely for what you need and even say "please" and "thank you, Danielle? Really.

I think she and Adumb believe they’re entitled to whatever because they had the only set of all-girl quintuplets in the US.  It’s like they think they’re extra special and they have some superpower that they use to help humanity, when in reality, they had a shitty, unethical infertility doctor. Plus, they think their lives are just so, so hard because they have the only set of all-girl quintuplets in the US that they deserve whatever they want. It’s repulsive and tone deaf.

Now they are open to adoption. I think they will do what they have to do for a story line.

Yep, when people are sick of their whiny brats they'll adopt for the attention grab. That poor child that would get adopted by them....

I find it interesting that the adoption talk all centers around a son, not daughters.

Of course, they would love to have a boy! They already have a name picked out. I'm certain the adoption would be more about having a boy than actually doing good.

No reputable adoption agency should allow those two to adopt a child. I'm sure a single home inspection would set off alarm bells. They don't deserve special treatment just because they're reality TV personalities. They're nothing more than that.

I wonder how the quints would react to a baby coming in the house and getting all the attention.

HA! They'd never be able to handle that. Except Adumb & Danielle would probably still indulge those whiny little brats and give them whatever they want to make up for them having a new, younger sibling.

OMG they do go on so much about their busy Busby lives, I know people with two kids who are way busier than they are.  They should get jobs lol.  So infuriating to listen to them....I watched a video from this link but it wasn’t about adopting so couldn’t even watch the adoption one.  I notice Danielle barely makes eye contact with Adam, he does with her....she’s probably too busy 🙂

[CrazyInAlabama]

They would do anything to keep the TLC money keep coming, and to get more attention.    I can't imagine the jealousy, and what would happen if they did have an adoption, or that an adoption agency would be approving their family for adoption.

Well, as someone who can barely do a handstand against a wall, I'm pretty impressed by anyone who can do one without assistance.  It really uses your core muscles, so I would imagine she wasn't sure her post hysterectomy muscles were up to the challenge.

Everything is free. Happy Birthday Blayke! 

 

[Hockey Addict]

When the kids were acting out that skit at the RV park the parents were praising Hazel which isn't wrong but it does reek of favoritism.

[BradandJanet]

This is what life looks like when your birthday tribute is an ad for party products with an "amazing blessing" and "heart full of joy" thrown in for good measure. 

[Spazamanaz]

That birthday cake is so cute!

[IvySpice]

Eh, I don't begrudge them free balloons and cake. Any social media post about a birthday party is going to show decorations and cake. I'm way more worried about the Busbys' SM promotion of MLM scams and BS weight loss supplements. Promote whatever bakery you want; don't promote lies and garbage.

Yes. Influencers often keep having kids to have a fresh supply of cute baby goodness for the gram, but that isn't an option for the Busbys due to the hysterectomy, and the quints are aging out of the kindergarten phase, so adoption it is.

Quick question: has Hazel ever had an MRI or a CT scan? Because I thought nystagmus was often a symptom of an underlying brain condition. She's been treated by several opthalmologists, so I assumed any brain issue would have been ruled out long ago, but has it ever been discussed on the show?

No, but that's an interesting point. I would not be surprised in the least if there was something off.. with multiples they're lucky that she only has an eye condition, yet the complain about that no problem.

I've wondered before if there might be something else wrong. Cognitively she does seem all there, but I've noticed that blank stare that she has for years. Not sure if that's vision related, but could easily be a neurological issue too.

[Hockey Addict]

Them favoring Hazel is only going to breed resentment in the other kids and other negatives too.

I haven’t watch that much of this show lately, I’m just watching the episode where they take the kids to the Alamo.  Did the one kid really make a comment about “Uncle Doofus”?  What the heck!

Not a good advertisement for the MLM skin care line that Danielle reps for.

They’ve been calling him Uncle Doofus all season. Even in jest, it’s disrespectful to repeatedly let them do it without correcting them.

I think they look exactly like Mimi.  Speaking of Mimi, I give her a lot of credit for directing the play.  She did a great job in such a short amount of time.  Most importantly, it was done with tons of love in her heart.

I was astounded when I heard one of the quints (I THINK it was Hazel but it could have been Parker.) call their dad “dada”, while in the van.  I couldn’t believe my ears.  What five year old still refers to their father that way?   Dada is usually one of the first utterances of a baby when they can verbally identify their father.  

Happy to see Blayke receive her new work station for school.  It was so nice to see her be the special daughter, for a change.  It may very well happen for her many times in their private lives but we rarely see it on the Outdaughtered episodes.  (I was also glad to see her overnight birthday party featured on the last episode, too.)

Let me add, Danielle is a spoiled brat....about almost everything.  

Hazel has called him Dada at least twice that I know of.  And what's with telling Uncle Dale not to leave her?

My guess is she'll be diagnosed with hypochondria.

Have they diagnosed her yet? My mom has about the same symptoms as Danielle. She’s seen many doctors, had multiple tests from every specialists you can imagine, etc. and was told eventually that her physical symptoms were caused by anxiety and depression. They can cause all those symptoms and convince you you are sick.  You feel the pain, but they are caused by psychological reasons. They are called Somatic illnesses.  I wonder if that is what they told Danielle.  It’s a difficult thing to accept.  It’s not as if they are making it up.  Whatever it is, I hope she can get treated.  It’s very hard on a family to have a parent who constantly complains of aches, pains, sickness, etc. and yet there is nothing physically wrong with them.  Here’s a piece about it.

I was thinking the same thing, that Danielle is suffering from anxiety. It can't be easy raising quints, especially if they're all demanding and whiny (as they are portrayed on tv). It has to be very stressful, loud and demanding. And that is going to eventually take its toll on you, whether you can see it or not. And if you don't see it, it's going to come out in physical ailments. Danielle whines and complains about something all the time, and that negativity is poison to your mind and body. It going to affect it in some way, shape or form.

Danielle and Adam are driving in the van at night time, and she says she has a terrible headache, and yet she is driving? The fact that she always drives, to me, is a sign of her total dominance over him. When couple ride together, the man almost always drives unless physically unable to. She always does no matter what.

I've noticed that too. She has total dominance over Adumb. She is the boss, and he just meekly follows along. Maybe that's another issue that is causing her problems, always having to be in control. She is a control freak. She needs to learn to compromise. I also think that they've spoiled their kids so bad that they are now reaping what they've sown. Times 5.

sitting in the front of the vehicle is better for people with  car sickness,   either seat would work, she does not have to be the driver......when she said she thought she was having a heart attack stress can do that causing you to have panick attacks that feel like a heart attack, but I just saw a commercial and she said she has  3 holes in her heart??  it went by fast was she just speculating?? was she diagnosed yet?

I think in the commercial she was saying that the doctor said she could have a hole or three in her heart. But it's all for ratings I think because no doctor would tell you that before testing or getting any results back first.

I agree that this tends to be true, but as a female, I do get a bit frustrated that anyone would assume my husband should be doing the driving.  I certainly wouldn't want to teach my daughters that only men should be allowed to drive.

Something else about Somatic illnesses, if that’s what she has....they seem to bring the patient lots of attention and sympathy....seems to fit.

I drive even with my husband in the car. He has road rage, especially in parking lots, and spends way too much time driving around looking for the perfect spot not near a cart return, not near a truck, not near a car with carseats. It is just so much easier for me to drive. I 100% don't have dominance over my husband, we are 50/50 and he actually has the final say if we don't agree. While she does seem to have control, I don't look at her driving as a sign of her dominance. There are so many reasons a female would drive over a male that have nothing to do with a physical disability.

I'm 100% with you on this. My husband is perfectly happy to let me drive most of the time, as I just enjoy it much more than he does. I definitely would not generalize like that.

I agree with the control. She is going to have to let go.. She and Adam can't do everything and be everywhere all of the time.

I didn't get why it took two of them at the Pop Up Shop. Nor why the Pop Up shop had to be the same night as Blayke's oral surgery. Why did she have to pop that night, she could have popped another time - hence the name. And for that matter -  that person who referred her isn't going anywhere. I didn't think it was necessary for both of them to be at the oral surgeon's appt. Maybe she should have been getting ready for the pop-up and let Adam go. That's why he's not working right b/c he didn't want to miss an appt/outing/life's milestone of the girls ? 

I think some of her stress is also coming from the constant gig hustle (this show, FB, IG, TV/People Mag interviews, and all of the product indorsements)  as that is now their source of income to provide for their family. I think without all of the endorsements, they would be a little pressed in providing for their family ( and probably extended family) and they know it all can be gone in a flash.

It just seem a foreign thought to her to learn how to provide for her family the old fashioned way - by a salary/hourly J.O.B.. While it is not as common to have six children now, I am sure there are families that do and I know a couple of families a generation ago who were a family of six  kids.

No wonder those kids are constantly whining and constantly complaining and whining. Look who they get it from. 

I get she's having "health issues", but it's incredibly hard to feel bad for her at all. She's such an attention whore that it's more of a believe it when I see it situation. 

Also, how did Hazel get a cavity in a baby tooth?? How does that even happen? I'm not completely surprised though, with the amount of candy those kids have been eating for years. You would think they would realize that a kid that young getting a cavity is not normal and not laugh about it. Idiots. All of them. 

[se0307]

I'm not surprised those brats had nothing to say when they asked them what they're thankful for. They don't understand gratitude one bit. And Adam saying "they're only 5.. they don't understand". What a dick, that's only because they don't teach them how to be thankful. I feel so bad for other kids their age who more than understand that concept and are subjected to those little shits.

I don't know about the Busbys' oral hygiene, but some kids are more prone to tooth decay than others.  My friend's son had cavities in his baby teeth, despite having a good diet and brushing habits.
