The girls are adorable. Love Adam & Uncle Dale. Everyone needs an Uncle Dale. And Adam is so calm. He's an amazing dad - especially to six girls. His focus is always his wife and family. He goes out of his way regularly to make sure his wife feels special. And he appreciates what makes each daughter different and encourages them to grow.
(Though I do find it annoying everyone points out all the time that Riley is the "bad" kid. Y'all about to create a really bad kid through self fulfilling prophecy. She's a great kid who just needs more mental stimulation.)
On the other hand, Danielle is more irritating every season. She complains no one helps but every time anyone tries to help she complains they did the job and she's going to have to redo it to make sure it's right. When Adam tries to pack for a trip she condescendingly asks if he knows they need five of every outfit. Like he hasn't watched her dress their five daughters in identical outfits for six years or that he didn't know they had five of them. Then she sighs like he's made everything more difficult by trying to help. Her complaining becomes incessant. If you started a drinking game for every time she was passive aggressive "funny" in an interview, you'd be drunk after two episodes.
She causes her own stress by her perfectionism. Everything is about her all the time. She threw a fit when Adam found a job where he would have to be gone two days a month but would make enough money to support the family, her shopping addiction, get insurance and work from home. Does she not understand how rare a job that good is? Then she opens a business where she's going to be gone a week three times a year. But that's ok. However, she complains that Adam had fun with the kids while she was gone. She demands he help with the business, like she helped when he was overwhelmed at his job, the complains he has to bring the kids when she doesn't want him to get a babysitter. She complains she's at work too much when she decided to start a business. She complains she misses all the fun things. Like she doesn't want anyone to have fun while she's not around. She conveniently forgets the big fit she threw when Adam changed his job because he wanted to spend more time with the kids. She complains that he isn't being both a househusband and helping her to her job. He needs to do more, even though she's the one who keeps adding unnecessary events that consume a lot of time and energy. She likes to create situations where she can complain.
She spent six months completing she wanted to be back in the "old" house but then flipped on a dime and decided she wanted to stay in the new one and got irritated Adam wasn't immediately on board because he was thinking of the finances. She dithers and gripes about decisions Adam wants to make and never lets it go if he chooses something before she's finished agonizing, but if she makes a decision, oh well. His problem if he doesn't like it.
She's so focused on being the cool, fun Mom. It's something she says at least twice every episode. And the handstand thing - maybe if you did them more than once a year on vacations you'd be able to do them instead of complaining your body is betraying you. Same goes for the seasonal episode where she complains about her birthday being overlooked and then there's a whole episode devoted to making sure her birthday is special.
Every time there's an interview you just know she's going to be whining about something petty in her amazing life. I think it all boils down to you see multiple scenes where Adam apologizes because he's been in the wrong or just ruffled her feathers. The one time she says in an interview she owes him an apology, she changes her mind because something he said evened it out in her mind.
Who knows - maybe she pissed of a producer and she's just been getting a bad edit every season, each year progressively worse. Or maybe they're running out of scenes where she isn't complaining about nothing.
