Couple counts blessings amid chaos of toddlerhood.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality series is fine for general family viewing, but kids and tweens probably won't be too drawn to its content. The subject matter will resonate most with adults who have had their own kids and can relate to the Masches' struggles with doling out discipline, combining different parenting styles, and finding time for each other amid hectic schedules. On a positive note, the couple's affection and respect for each other stands out even as they muddle through the daunting tasks of managing their busy household. Note: In Sept. 2010, Bryan Masche was arrested for, among other things, threatening domestic violence. He and his wife subsequently separated. So far, none of these events have been included in the TV show, so our rating hasn't changed (yet).
Violence & scariness:
No violence, but Jenny very occasionally slaps a child’s hand to reprimand him or her for something. One episode centers on Jenny’s plans for plastic surgery, so there’s some discussion of the procedure and complications that arise.
Sexy stuff:
Some mention of the fertility treatments that resulted in the sextuplets, and the babies’ diaper areas are sometimes visible during changes. Jenny and Bryan are very affectionate with each other (some kissing).
