Good Show, now what really happened that we didn't see?

Charles wasn't yelling. That's called communicating. As opposed to that other sap...how'd you like that! "it's their mother's fault...I blame their mother, I'm not here..."

I was watching that other guy, saying,
"Hello? It's YOUR fault - that their mother has to raise them. That you're not there. That you're too wrapped up in YOU to give anything away. A man never passes the buck. So what are you?"

Wow. Does money make common sense go bye bye?

Money? You give them lots of money?

I have a q......why is grandma oriental? Whose ma is she and why doesn't the kid look oriental. That was bugging me the whole show

Dana,

Speaking of ditching, my daughter (almost 11) wants to know what those girls were really like.

Dana just wanted to say you did great on wife swap.

I think both of the wifes showed a lot of class.

Its a shame the rich people have just about ruined Kayla.

I suspect they will be saddled with that child for life.

The younger daughter might have a chance to realize life is not about looks.

You did good trying to teach them that.

I thought both the husbands got the most from this episode.

Both men turned around well and tried to work with the rules changes.

Dana's husband got with the program of realizing kids need love and discipline. Good for him.

Dana you have beautiful boys and that little red headed girl is a real beauty.

They seem as beautiful inside as out.

One thing. I hope the little fellow is not tackling the tree too often.

Both my sons played football and I did research on youth injuries, even into high school a devoloping body is easy to permently injure.

He was cute though. Maybe wrap a thick rubber padding around that tree and let him keep on keeping on.

Great job Dana and you have a family to be proud of.

So Dana - How fast did that car go?

my family watched it and you got 6 thumbs up. It was all entirely too nice to be wife swap though when the wives finally met.

Isn't it funny that they had to make a man who loves his kids out to be the bad guy? I mean, yeah, your boys need to know you believe in them - but how is requiring them to be respectful a bad thing? I don't understand this world sometimes.

The sad thing is people like Dana's family ( and mine) will be stuck taking care of people like the other family. When the SHTF. (Like now)

thats one of the things that struck me too. I feel it showed alot of good on both sides- Charles did not look all that thrilled at that inquisition though

Liberals, Chuck. Liberals. Fight them, or become them.

CA Mom - "I think making them do chores will break their spirit."

What? <shakes head and mutters for the rest of the night.>

Ditto.


Dana, good job, I think you came off real well.

ps. - perhaps you learned a little about not slaughtering that rabbit from your experience with the "hawk post" on HT. LOL.

What kind of employment does that Bruce dad have to afford all that ?

That was some serious cash outlay.

I knew a few of those spoiled-type girls in college. At least a third of whatever money their parents gave to them was spent on expensive clothes, and many of the outfits they bought would only be worn a few times before being retired. The only food they ate consisted of msg-pumped meats from a restaurant, or mass-produced and genetically-identical fruits and vegetables. It's so sad to see people that don't know what blossom end rot is, or how to fillet a fish, or how to do anything that humans have had to know how to do to survive as long as we have.

What on earth is so darn scary about getting an egg out of a coop?
