If you talk to any parent, they'll let you know that bringing up kids can be tough. When you've got just one kiddo, it might be a bit challenging, but when you've got two, it's a whole new level of tough.

Maybe that's why a lot of us can't even picture what it'd be like to have five kids at once. Just keeping them all in check and making sure they're safe sounds like a real handful.

One person who really gets this is Jordan Driskell, a guy who just so happens to be the dad of quintuplets. Those five kiddos are five years old now, and you can bet it's a real challenge dealing with them sometimes.

When you've got 5-year-old kids, their natural curiosity can really push even the most youthful parents to their limits. That's when he had the idea to keep them in check by using leashes when they're out in public.

Once, he had a stroller with six seats to cart the kids around, but it became a hassle when they got antsy. Plus, it wasn't the most convenient thing to lug around.

With the kids on those little leashes now, it lets them check out the world around them without wandering off too far or getting into trouble.

When the family visited the aquarium, they snapped some pics and shared them online. They also shot a video, and before you knew it, it went viral and gathered over 3 million views.

The video featured the kids strolling around with their little leashes, and lots of folks chimed in, saying they're not animals and shouldn't be leashed. Some also commented that he shouldn't have so many kids if he can't handle it.

People left comments, wondering why he couldn't just teach the kids better or tell them that running off is not safe. Yeah, like that's a foolproof plan.

Luckily, some experts chimed in to clarify that using a leash on a child doesn't treat them like an animal. The only other choice is to stay home, so having a leash is a more practical option.

As the kids grow older, there will come a time when they can communicate verbally, and you can properly explain the risks of being out of sight. Until then, using leashes won't harm the kids or anyone else.
