Wife Swap/Trading Spouses

Janet · 11-10-2006, 08:18 AM

My husband would probably like it...LOL, but my son, that's a different story. He is strong willed, but also very sensitive. If anyone hurt his feelings or made him feel bad about himself, would definitely have to answer to me. I'm not one for revenge on anyone or anything, but when it comes to my son (and my furbabies) they better be watching out!!!

I wouldn't ever do that show either. You know that they're not going to pick people who are a like because that won't make an interesting show. They have to pick complete opposites. I wonder how many that do the show walk away going "Well, that was a fun experience. Let's do it again!" That dairy farmer sure wouldn't be saying it! I'm surprised that he agreed to do it. Dairy farming is a lot of work and it HAS to be done twice a day!!

I have a co-worker who has been accepted to do "Wife Swap". She's my VP's Admin that I fill in for when she's out (a lot). She leaves on May 29th to go to her other family. She's 40ish, married to her second husband, with 3 daughters - 8/14/16. Her name is Katrina and she'll be the OCD clean freak, trying to look like her family is perfect.

The preliminaries take a couple of months - background checks, psychologist, medical, bloodwork, employment clearances, etc.

They'll tell her where she's going when she gets to the AP. They pay $20,000 to do the show!

Wow, you are going to have to let us know when it will air, so we can watch it.

They don't even tell them when it will air until about a week before. If you watch it, remember that what she does has no bearing on me. I am not her mentor, nor do I approve of her work ethics or child rearing standards. Is that a fair disclaimer?!

I think for 20K I would do it. I would board the dogs first. I live alone and my daughter has her own family. How much harm could she do?

Of course, they'd never pick me. Darn! I could really use $20,000!

Please let us know when she's on so we can watch. How exciting for her!

That would be pretty cool to know some one on a show like that. When you find out when it's on...let us know too. And your disclaimer was pretty good.

Katrina leaves tonight for her Wife Swap taping. She says she got a hint and thinks she'll be going to Florida. I've been trying to convince her that she'll be in an Alaskan igloo. She was hoping for Brad Pitt, but didn't want to give Angelina to her hubby (even pg with twins). I'd make such a fool of myself doing something like that.

I think that show's annoying. lol
So what happens when one of the "mismatched" couples really clicks and they decide NOT to go back? It could happen quite easily!

HALEY · 05-13-2008, 10:04 AM

well im more on the rigid side, since i spent my life's savings on all my new furniture in the house, and still remolding, all my extra money goes back into the house, i like it to look nice when people come over, yes i am a neat freak, and i hate spiders, they freak me out !!!! But i have calmed down some since i had Micah, i don't clean as much, cause i love Mommy and Micah time, i clean in the mornings and when he goes to bed and weekends... so i am getting better..

goofywife · 05-15-2008, 07:40 AM

I don't think that I would be a candidate for the show, I am a bit of a germaphobic, but I don't think I am unreasonable. I like a clean house, but I don't wash the windows every month. I like to have fun, but I understand when its time to get work done.

Whom ever would be chosen to be with my DH might have a problem. He is all black and white and very detailed in everything he does (He is a bit of a perfectionist). He needs me to give him some color.
