“For our own peace of mind and sanity, we use a leash. It also allows us to leave the house and do fun stuff as a family without being stressed, ” he said.

“The other thing is, they want to walk when we go somewhere crowded. A leash gives them the opportunity to do that — but we’re still in control. They love it,” Driskell said.

As they slammed him online after he shared a video of the quintuplets using a leash during a day trip to an aquarium.

While another dished out some useful advice…

“Can’t you just train your children well? Explain to them why it’s dangerous to run away?” they wrote.

“Don’t have that many kids if you can’t handle the pressure,” said another.

‘That’s messed up. If you can’t handle that many children don’t get them in the first place,” wrote a third.
