Lessons learned from wifeswap
This summer was the first time that I watched Wifeswap. For some reason I just found the idea morally repulsive. However, I really fell in love with the show when I actually stopped being a TV snob & tuned in. Here are a few lessons I learned:
There are some weird weird people in this country. There are people who don’t use toilet paper & other people who literally dress & live like pirates.
There is always something to be learned. Usually the families just make very small strides after the swap but they are still strides.
Sometimes you have to go through crap or live with a family who doesn’t believe in toothpaste to learn gratitude.
If your worst dreams come true they might not be as bad as you think. It seems like every wife says “I wanted to go anywhere except for ____”. They end up in ____. In the end, they learn to try new things & they have one less fear.
