If you’re thinking that it is a sexual swap, it isn’t.
Lol! Yep, I thought it was something along those lines. I didn't realize it was a regular network program.
Yeah, the name *does* make it sound worse than it is! One of the few I’ve ever seen, a financially struggling black family swapped with an Asian/white Dr’s family. The one family was rich in love and sharing, the Dr’s family - well, mom was the stereotypical Dr’s wife. The first mom spent time putting together puzzles with the Dr’s kids and they were so in love with her because she simply spent time with them. When the Dr wanted to have a cookout, the ‘mom’ tried to plan it the way her family would, with everyone bringing a covered dish, making it a big friendly occasion. The Dr wouldn’t hear of it and was really rather rude to her. Meanwhile, Mrs Dr was at the other house spending her time complaining and while the kids were cleaning up the house she slept.
Each mom gets an amount (I think $10,000) to give to the other family and she gets to decide how the other family will spend it. Sometimes it’s for something as simple as getting the house rewired or buying much needed transportation. Sometimes the kids have revealed a much longed for something that the family can’t afford and so they get some of the $$. Sometimes it’s for a trip the family has wante to take or for college that the family can’t afford, but basically the mom is supposed to listen and get to know the family she’s living with and make a wise decision based on that. The Drs’ wife hoped she’d get a boat but the other mom left it all to the Dr’s MOTHER, so she could go back to China to visit family, since she said the grandma was ‘the heart of the family’. She pretty much raised the kids & did everything with them.
Sorry to be so longwinded! I rarely watch TV but the few that I’ve seen I’ve liked. Makes me wonder what kind of ‘opposite’ mom my family would get!!!
