The couple tells PEOPLE that something like a day camp in the summer can cost up to $2,500, which Danielle calls “outrageous.”

Being parents of six girls is a lot of work – and when your daughters are quintuplets, it becomes even more difficult.

For OutDaughtered Stars Adam and Danielle Busby, that’s just reality. They have been filming the TLC series since 2016, just months after Danielle, 40, gave birth to the country’s first quintuplets: Ava, Olivia, Parker, Hazel and Riley. In addition to the now 9-year-old quintuplets, they also have 13-year-old Blayke and OutDaughtered captures the often chaotic everyday life of the Busby family.

As Adam, 42, tells PEOPLE, “We’re not afraid to show the bad along with the good.”

Among the challenges he and his wife face are the enormous costs associated with raising five daughters of the same age.

“A good example is, when we look at summer camps, and we go to this summer camp for five days, it costs $2,000,” says Danielle, pointing out how quickly the total adds up if all five girls want to attend. “That’s just a day camp, compared to the $250 or $300 a parent might spend.”

“There is a big difference between sending my child to this camp and not. It costs $2,500 for five days. That’s outrageous,” she continues.

The couple’s solution is not to discourage the girls from attending because “they like going,” but rather to “try to find inexpensive events.”

“But it’s the simple things. Even lunch at school. Yes, we pack lunches, but there are days when they eat lunch at school and then, what, $2 a day or something? But in our world, if they all eat, that’s between $10 and $15 a day – for a crappy school lunch,” Danielle says. “It’s little things.”

During the currently airing 10th season of OutDaughteredThe quintuplets visited the orthodontist for the first time, which was a shocking discovery for Danielle: the girls would need around $35,000 worth of dental work to straighten their teeth.

“This is crazy,” she said later, and Riley said, “This is a lot of money.”

As the girls grow older and costs rise, other things in the Busby household also change.

“We try to let the kids be kids. If they want to film and participate today, or Blayke isn’t into it, that’s fine,” says Danielle of the way they handle filming these days. “We have to take care of it, and that’s how it stays healthy for our kids.”

Adam adds that filming Season 10 was “quite difficult” because “all the girls were so involved in extracurricular activities and just different sports and dance, and Blayke was on several school sports teams and was doing something pretty much every night. And that made it really difficult because you were like, ‘Okay, when are we going to film the show?'”

“It’s a part of our lives. It’s not our whole aspect of our lives and we don’t live our lives just for the TV show, but we love having an outlet to share,” says Danielle. “And we’re as real as we can be. So you see the bitterness and the vitriol and the family feuding, but that’s just real. And a lot of it is – it’s fun for us in some ways, but it’s also hard. It’s very hard to do a TV show, but we still try our best to fulfill the calling that we feel we have.”
