Growing Up McGhee follows the daily lives of parents Rozonno and Mia McGhee, who are raising their sextuplets all under the same roof. In season 1 episode 6, titled Divide & Conquer, the McGhee family faces their biggest challenge yet - potty training all six of their children at once.
The episode begins with Mia admitting that she is struggling to keep up with the demands of potty training six toddlers at once. She confides in her husband, Rozonno, who suggests implementing a "divide and conquer" strategy where each parent focuses on three children. Mia is hesitant at first, worried that they won't be able to keep track of who has gone to the bathroom and when. But Rozonno reassures her and they decide to give it a try.
The next day, the McGhee family gets to work on their new plan. Rozonno takes the three boys to the park while Mia stays home with the girls. Mia finds potty training the girls to be a bit easier, but she still struggles to keep up with their various needs and wants. Meanwhile, Rozonno is exhausted from running after the boys and trying to get them to sit on the potty.
After lunch, the parents switch places. Mia takes the boys to the store while Rozonno stays home with the girls. Mia is worried about taking all three boys out in public, but she manages to keep them in line. The boys behave surprisingly well and even help Mia pick out a new potty for them to use at home.
Back at home, Rozonno is having a tougher time with the girls. Two of them refuse to sit on the potty, while the third has a bit of an accident on the carpet. Rozonno starts to feel frustrated and overwhelmed, but he keeps a level head and cleans up the mess.
As the day wears on, the parents start to feel the weight of their new strategy. They are both exhausted and stressed out, and they begin to question whether or not they can keep it up long-term. They decide to regroup and come up with a new plan.
The next day, they try a different approach. They split the girls up and take them to different rooms so they can focus on them one-on-one. This seems to work better, as the girls feel less overwhelmed and are more willing to sit on the potty. The boys are still a bit of a challenge, but Rozonno finds ways to keep them entertained and distracted.
After a few more days of trial and error, the McGhee family finally starts to see some progress. The children are all starting to get the hang of using the potty, and the parents feel like they've found a system that works for them. They are proud of themselves and their children, and they feel like they are one step closer to being able to handle anything that comes their way as a family.
In the end, Divide & Conquer is a heartwarming episode that showcases the challenges and triumphs of raising six children at once. The McGhee family's dedication to their children and their willingness to work together is inspiring, and viewers will come away from the episode feeling like they too can overcome any obstacle with the right attitude and teamwork.
