‘OutDaughtered’: Danielle Busby Explains How She Deals With ‘Mom Guilt’
OutDaughtered features Danielle Busby trying to treat each of the quints and Blayke as individual personalities. The TLC show brings scenes of her teaching the kids discipline and generally trying to love all the kids all the time. But, she also suffers from “mom guilt” often. In her blog this Friday, she explained how she deals with that.
OutDaughtered Mom Danielle Busby tries her best but suffers from “mom guilt”
Danielle took to her Instagram to mention her new blog post about “mom guilt.” In her blog post, she talks about no matter how hard she tries, sometimes she messes it up. She notes the kids drive her a bit crazy. “Sometimes my response is anger, impatience, or harsh words,” says Danielle. Much like any of us, she feels bad that she reacts with anger inside. Maybe it’s even harder for her as it’s not just one or two kids who get annoying. She’s got a whole bunch of six. With five four-year-olds, she’s bound to feel like this on occasion.
Many moms suffer from guilt for not constantly feeling loving and cherishing with their sometimes irritating offspring. So, Danielle’s certainly not alone. But how does she cope with those negative feelings? Well, we know that the OutDaughtered mom’s a Christian. Often we see her share pics of them at church on Sundays. And, she tries to live by the bible from day to day. Danielle says when she gets mom guilt, she knows “the enemy” – Satan – “has a field day.” She thinks he fills her with guilt and he tells her she’s “a failure as a mom.”

Dealing with “mom guilt” and taking inspiration from the Bible
For Danielle, the Bible inspires her and comforts her. Plus, it’s a guide for her to stay strong. She talks about the bible verse from Romans that says, “I am convinced that neither death nor life…neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” From that, Danielle takes comfort because she loves her kids “deeply.” And, that’s even when they “they mess up or push your limits.” The OutDaughtered mom takes comfort that she messes up, but God still loves her. Actually, she’s a bit blown away that God could love her more than she loves her children.
Other people, who don’t necessarily read the Bible or believe in God, also suffer from guilt. They went onto Danielle’s Instagram to talk about her mom guilt. “I love you! Thank you for being a great roll model and disciple 💝💝😍😍🙌🙌 my 9 year old Daughter loves you and your family,” said one fan. Another noted, “Are you kidding me?! You’re a rockstar!! I have twins and a 4 yr old and feel like I’m failing ALL THE TIME. You rock the quint mom life with so much grace!”
