Lessons learned from Wife Swap
I didn’t watch the show Wife Swap because I was always plagued by the question “What if they like their new wife better & want to keep her? What if they like their new house or the new car has billet grilles & they hate their actual life even more than they already did?” I wasn’t really aware of the concept of the show which is letting families really appreciate what they have & giving moms an opportunity to experience how other families run. Plus, I get to see families who are pirate or ghost hunters & that is just plain cool.
The families are always different & outrageous, but the plot is usually the same. A mom who does everything for her children/husband swaps lives with a career oriented woman who is married to a stay at home dad. Both of the moms learn how to find balance but still fight with each other at the table meeting. Tonight’s episode was heart wrenching when a Mom from the South was called “less intelligent” by her swap son. Thanks but I’ll just stick to swapping books.
