I thought all the girls got a makeover, did they just get the dresses and not a makeover too? I think you're right about it being advertising for Disney. I kind of thought there were several extras that were specifically given to them to show off the cruise and all the extras that can be bought when other people go. Does that make me a cynic? I only saw the quints and Blake get the dresses and a makeover. Danielle's sisters and I think her husband's siblings also have children and they didn't get the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique makeovers. There's also a makeover for little boys as well; they can be a knight or something else. And of course there's a Star Wars makeover for the Star Wars cruises for both children and adults. They only showed the quints and Blake getting the makeovers, but when they walked down the steps to see the "real" princesses all of them were dressed up. I watched it again because that's what I thought I had seen, and since you mentioned it, I noticed one of the boy cousins looked like he had some captain's/(prince Eric?) outfit on, I didn't notice that the first time. So, I think that all the cousins got the makeovers, but since the show isn't about them we didn't see it happening. I'm glad they got the experience too.

I'm glad the Busbys decided not to move to Dallas as it would have been a hardship on them without family support while the children are so young. However, I think Adam made the right decision to accept the second offer with the company and occasionally having to travel to Dallas. Danielle became extremely upset without even knowing how often the Dallas travel would take place. Somehow it was immediately assumed by her "twice a month." That may not be the case. The security this position offers the family I feel is well worth Adam having to travel as long as it is reasonable. In this day of working from home, many people travel to a company headquarters for meetings. (I have a daughter who travels one week every month from Seattle to NYC for her position.) Before becoming so upset, it would have been better for both Adam and Danielle to learn more details.
Another reason for their not moving to Dallas would entail what could happen if Adam didn't like the job, what if it turned out to be something beyond his scope of knowledge and experience, and/or what if he was let go or the company went under. If the travel to Dallas turns out to be too difficult, Adam can always quit. At least this way he gives it a try.

There are other times you see it. Unless TLC pays for them to be on tv til the girls graduates they better look ahead at what the cost will be to raise all those kids. I am hoping they are socking some of the money they make off TLC away.

Her reaction to Adam taking the job was the first time I thought she was way out of line. He's being responsible. With a family of 8 to support he NEEDS to be responsible! My concern them is the housing situation. Here they are facing being homeless in 2 months. Wow.

Yeah, I can understand her feeling some type of way as the bulk of childrearing falls on her and she doesn't want him away for long periods of time, but on the other hand, he has to work. 8 people on a budget is a lot and even if the tlc money is good it's not going to last forever. Personally, I think it's smart to have a job AND do the show because as we have seen before with other shows solely depending on the TV money is a bad idea. I think the decision he made was a good one.

I agree that Danielle overreacted. However, I do understand that she wanted Adam to talk it over with her before accepting it. I would expect that consideration too.
He had a good job before he quit to start his own business. He quit that for the specific reason to be at home more, be the boss of his own hours. Taking this job is possibly sending him back into not working the times that he wants to. I assume it's good money, but it didn't seem like they were hurting before he quit the other job. To me, it seems flaky and all over the place. Does he want to work for himself, or doesn't he? Maybe he didn't realize the stress of starting his own business, but then that also seems rather short-sighted to me.

I just stumbled on season 6 ep. 1 on Sling, TLC On Demand. Apparently it aired yesterday at midnight.
The girls celebrated their 4th and 8th birthdays, Riley started pre-K and Adam made me so angry I actually screamed "you b*st*rd" at the screen. Danielle is so stressed and Adam piles more work on her. Danelle is still whining about Adams job. Yikes!
From the TLC sched. that appears on Sling it seems that the next episode will air next Tuesday at 12 P.M. Not a great time slot!
I can give a full account if anyone wants me to but I thought it might be good to let others see it first.

That's really weird. Sling's schedule must be earlier because my On Demand lists season 6 episode 1 to air next Tuesday at 7 p.m.

I watched the trailer for the new season and he was a little harsh but sometimes she doesn't listen IMO. I hate to say it but there are days she is as dingy as her mother.

In all fairness she does bear the brunt of the child rearing of all six kids. If I were in her shoes I would be more than dingy; I'd be straight up crazy!

She is going a bit "crazy"...perhaps burned-out would be more accurate. But what Adam did was just plain horrible. Don't keep reading if you don't want to know {Spoiler} The girls wanted a puppy for their birthday. Danielle said no. Very firmly. She said that she just couldn't care for a puppy right now. I can totally relate to that! Because, when there is a new puppy in the house, who does the potty mistake clean up? Who has to deal with the chewed shoes and clothes? Who has to supervise 5 4 year olds and a puppy? Adam tells Danielle that now that the girls are 4 and 8 they are old enough to assume full care of a puppy! (What an idiot!) So, the birthday comes. Danielle sends Adam to pick up some stuff for the party. He returns home with a puppy! Not only that, but during a trip to the vet for a checkup they discover the puppy has food aggression issues. Just another thing piled on Danielle. I was absolutely livid when I saw that. Then, at the end of the episode there was another incident of Adam discounting Danielles' feelings. And yes, she was still giving him a hard time about his work schedule.The girls wanted a puppy for their birthday. Danielle said no. Very firmly.

Watched it and I'm absolutely disgusted with Adam.
Once again, he goes off and makes a decision completely ignoring his other half's feelings on the matter. I can understand Blake wanting a dog, especially since she was so close to their other dog Momo (who had to be put down due to issues related to its age). They discussed getting a dog, and Danielle made it clear to him that at this point in time she had enough on her plate, the quints weren't old enough to help take care of it and other perfectly valid reasons why this would not be a good time to get one. He goes out and gets a dog anyway and is like "Well, you'll change you mind about taking care of it" like she has nothing else to do all day. I was so mad for Danielle because we all know who is going to end up taking care of it on top of all her other responsibilities. They continue to talk and she says she wants to do something other than be known as a mom to 6 kids and he's like "Oh, it's not about the dog at all!" No Adam, it's about your wife having issues with her identity outside of being a mother and your complete and utter thoughtlessness!
This isn't the first time they've had discussions about things that affect them as a family and him totally doing whatever he wants to and totally disregarding her feelings about it. In a partnership or a marriage you are supposed to work together as a team, not this "I'll make all the decisions and you deal with it" nonsense because most women neither want or need their husbands thinking for them! And quite frankly, it doesn't bode well for their marriage because eventually she will get tired of it.

Kao, you nailed it! I know, first hand, how hard it is to be a stay-at-home-mom. And I had 3 kids, not six. Nor did I have 5 kids all going through their preschool years at the same time. If Adam doesn't change his ways fast, the marriage is going to be in big trouble. Bringing that puppy into the house and totally discounting Danielles' objections was, to me, just way beyond acceptable behavior.
And then totally discounting Danielles' desire to start a business with her sister. Would it have killed that SOB to say something like, "Great! I hope you ladies come up with a good plan."? Instead, he totally dismissed her feeling as unimportant.

I guess I see things different. How so, nennie? I for one don't think it is all Adam's fault or that his behavior is completely wrong. I have been having trouble with Danielle's attitude for awhile. She is becoming a whiner and complainer IMO. Adam has to support the family and as most men especially in his field their work can lead them out of town on a moments notice. Danielle knew that when he took this job. She wasn't moving to Dallas so he had to do what he needed to. AND it isn't going to kill her to take care of those children for 2 days while he is gone. I agree he shouldn't have gotten the puppy but he did and if it doesn't work out then rehome it. I am sure there is someone out there that would love to have it. BTW they don't have to always do birthdays in such grandiose fashion. Bottom line is this is a reality tv show and what all we are seeing isn't what all we are getting. Drama sells and this season it seems we will be getting plenty of it. I do believe and have for awhile that this marriage probably would be on the rocks if it weren't for the tv show. Danielle doesn't seem happy and hasn't for awhile. AND her business adventure will only stress her out more. She's young and once the girls get in school all day then she has time to pursue it. What another year to do that. This is just my perception of what I see.

I guess I see things different. Fair enough. Every marriage dynamic is different; some couples thrive on working together as a team while others prefer to take a step back, let their mate make all the decisions and work within that and it works for them. What doesn't work is the continued blatant disregard for your partner's feelings in everything like what Adam is doing because that goes beyond having a partner take the reigns. This is not a parent situation where Mom or Dad tells you what you are doing and you just follow along; there should be a certain give and take in a relationship regardless of the style.
What was really telling (and made me even madder) was Adam's response when Danielle told him that he would have to take the puppy with him when he went out of town. He totally didn't want to do it, yet he expects her to train and take care of it while also taking care of 5 4 year olds and an 8 year old all day? He didn't even have the decency to get a year old dog that was at least house-trained already; that puppy looked like it was 8-10 weeks old! Puppies are a LOT of work, and that was still a crappy thing he did.
Being married to someone who completely disregards your feelings all the time will do that to you.

I partially agree with Nennie regarding Danielles' reactions to Adams' job demands. But, I also agree with kao that he should at least validate her concerns. And, maybe he does, off-camera.
But the dog? That was horrid of him. Sure, the dog can be rehomed. But, at what cost? The kids would be devastated and Danielle would be the "bad guy". Meanwhile, Danielle has to clean up the "accidents", remember to let the puppy out at frequent intervals, and keep a close eye out that puppy doesn't bite someone due to his food aggression problem. Or, because he was overstimulated by too much rough play. Four year olds should never be left with a young puppy unsupervised.
And, he was downright mean to Danielle when she told him about the business she hoped to start.
At this point, I think they need some marriage counseling.

So much of this show is scripted. Their reaction while in action and their reaction when they do the commentary on the couch. I see two different people. Again we will all have different perceptions or reactions to what we see. A side note, this show has afforded them to live a lot better than what I believe they would had they not been on it and that goes for the whole family.

Uncle Dale makes the show. His comments to Mimi were funny. This show is so scripted. I guess they needed to spice it up a bit. On the Outdaughtered Facebook page people are really talking about Danielle and her whining/complaining and always wanting things her way. I also read on there that they bought the house back in February, someone read it somewhere. Wonder if the show provides them the van and truck they drive. Those two vehicles aren't cheap.

I rarely go on that page because sadly, there are those who will always see women trying to assert themselves as "whining." And even sadder, a lot of those people are other women. I'm not going to be part of tearing another woman down, especially one with six kids and a husband who is a bit of a jerk.

Adam has a Youtube channel and he posted a video a few days ago where you could clearly see which house they were in. Since I don't know their financial position, nor do I know the real estate market in their area, it's hard to judge how much of a risk it would be. In the area where I live it would not be much of a risk. And, Danielle is right. The leased house seems to be a much better fit for their family.

There are those who see her as whiny and there are those who don't like Adam as well. Their opinions are just that. I went there to see if maybe I was the only one thinking she was always whining. As far as Adam being a bit of a jerk I think Danielle is a bit of a one too. They both travel that street. In defense of Adam he does a lot more with his kids than a lot of men I know. He loves being in his kids lives on a day to day basis and also work a full time job. Kudos to Danielle wanting to have a job and I wish her all the success in the world. They both have a big job in raising 6 kids and it isn't easy. They also have a ton of family support which if not it would be harder task.

The one thing that bugs me is how did they not notice the mold in the old house. That stuff didn't appear overnight. I have to agree the new house is a better fit. The yard alone is better. With the old house having had the mold issues makes me wonder how easy it will be to sell. That has to be disclosed.
