It was Happymom. I kept thinking, "I'm not even married, so what do they want with me." Then I wondered if somehow they tracked me down thru this crazy place. It was a big surprise to find out the real reason!

That's pretty cool Kar! I wonder which show it will be on? They could have used you for their upcoming "Boss Swap" their going to do on March 8th!

Ack! I don't know if I could do a boss swap. But my employees sure were wondering why WifeSwap was calling me. Got some pretty strange looks that morning!

<rereads my last post>....oh geeze! Yes, I do know the difference between "their" and "they're." Don't know what my brain and fingers were thinking there! I think I do remember a Wife Swap (or maybe it was Trading Spouses) where the swapped wife was a single mom!

LOL, Juju. Not exactly. But it's possible that a Birthday Keepsake will be on episode 27. Whatever that is. And as if you could actually see what it is.

We will freeze frame the entire show. No worries. Juju's in charge of reminding me to do that.

Well, according to THIS site, last week's episode swapping the two bi-racial families was episode 16. So, we now have a starting point to count down to episode 27 that will show one of Kar's products on the child's wall!

I'm watching, but other than the rude way he expresses himself, I pretty much agree with his views.

He should show some respect for his elders. If my teenager talked that way to another adult I'd probably slap him.

Can someone please make my day/night? Our electricity went out big time right when the ladies started reading their rule changes. I would be soooooo appreciative if someone could give me the details for the last half hour of the show. Thanks you so much.

I didn't see all of the show tonite, but what I saw, I think I like these people. I came away thinking 'this is what i think the producers meant when they thought up this show'. Yes, both sides were extremes, but they also realized that each side has a point and also learned from one another. I loved the 'peace' mom and the neighbors' discussion. NO, they didn't necessarily agree, but good points were brought out on all sides. I think the smart ass teenager even had some points when he was talking about chores, and chipping in....yes, everyone can do their share. When the Kentucky dad came out all dressed up in the outfits that the children had picked out for him, I got teary eyed!! I think over all, I liked these folks.

So did the military mom lighten up on her kids by the end? Did the military dad spend more time w/the kids? And did the Peace dad take a shower? Oh Texannie, thank you so much!!!

Thank you? Not sure about the shower? He did, and they both admitted that they screwed up with their son. I think military mom lightened up too.

LOL Hi Texannie!! *g (DD woke up again!) I too was all set to hate this episode for the extremes!! I felt sorry for the military mom having to do the radical "peace" demonstration, and I wondered when are country became so closed minded to ideas different to our own, and then the show evolved! When the son was so rude the mom left crying, they showed her talking, she was never able to express strongly enough that his voice, tone were unacceptable, disrespectful, I think in his own mind he just wanted to make sure HE was heard - and he was way too strong, I am so glad they did show a softer side to him when he was talking about breaking "her" rules, he said he could do chores, he was washing dishes, she was explaining how it was all Eve's fault that women were subservan to men, due to that eating of the apple/fruit... I wanted to jump in the TV and tell her that there is a NEW TESTAMENT! (I hate that view, but I digress) Later when they were all sitting around, she expressed her fear of not being good enough for her dh... so her need to be perfect for him, has deep roots, that the show didnt explore, she was so sincere, she had the pacifist dad in tears, and her dh said, I'm going to cry! (Now the show mentioned her one son was from a previous marriage, so I would bet part of her insecurities lie there!! That and the fact her dh worked so much overtime, but he learned from the swap, and it showed them at home, in a messy HOUSE, even the kids room werent so sparkly clean!!)

There was a lot happening eh? Not a bad episode. There are some hot topics involved. <> <314>

"Jesus was just a carpenter who talked a lot." LOL! Classic! If Dan keeps up the "angry young man" thing, the guy will never be able to hold down a job.

Reader, I found myself thinking the same thing about the NT! There were definitely alot of issues in this episode, but by and large, everyone seemed to have a respect that has seemed lacking in other episodes.

Dan was just being a brash opinionated teen. Pretty much par for the course, but his Dad should be pointing out his rudeness and that there are ways of getting your point across without being belligerent. The Dad recognised that his behaviour was bad, but did nothing. So, the kid gets the impression that what he's doing is o.k. It was very sad when the military Mom said she thought she had to be perfect or her husband would dump her. Fortunately, that was all in her head, not his.

I felt it was odd that the military dad just sat there when his wife was breaking down, admitting that she does all that cleaning out of fear of losing him. Maybe it was editing, but it just seemed wrong that he sat there like a lump rather than reassuring her.

Maybe, Yellek, but give the guy a break. Not everyone is raised to show emotion or their feelings, and he didn't quite know how to deal with what was happening. He even told his wife that if she kept it up he was going to end up crying. Just because someone doesn't react to emotional situations, doesn't mean they are lumps. I think he didn't react because he was at a loss on what to do. My heart went out to both of them.

I didn't realize I was being harsh by saying he sat like a lump. I'm used to men that jump to reassure a woman who is crying. Just how I took it is all.
