Single moms needed for ABC's Wife Swap.
I sometimes watch Wife Swap when there's nothing else on.
I get entirely irritated with the show because they take families who are extreme polar opposites and slap them together for tv drama.
As much as I could use the money from doing the show, (each family is given $50,000 after the show tapes to do stuff with) I could never do this show.
They'd hook up our little family with a family that doesn't smoke, the mom would be a physical fitness, health food nut, they'd be extremely religious, and be total clean freaks, as well as not be into movies, video games, or computers.
The entire two weeks that other mom would be with my sons, the teens would be in a living hell.
Plus, being disabled and having multiple doctor's visits as well as an upcoming surgery, the date to be decided upon soon, I'm simply not a good fit for this show at all.
But YOU! You other single moms out there might be perfect for this, so if you think you could handle being away from your kids for two weeks, could take care of someone else kids and home, follow other rules and lifestyles, go for it.
ABC's WIFE SWAP CASTING SINGLE PARENTS FOR PRIMETIMEABC's primetime series "Wife Swap" is currently casting its fifth season and looking for unique families with plenty of personality to take part in the show. Families who participate in this documentary-style program are given a unique opportunity to share their beliefs and lifestyles with another family. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience that can be life-changing for everyone.
Each week on Wife Swap, the mothers from two families with different values and belief systems will exchange lives. It's an amazing family experience and opportunity to learn how others lead their lives. Half of the week, mom lives the life of the family she is staying with. After making her observations, she introduces several "rule changes," where she implements rules and activities that are important to her family. It's a positive experience for people to not only learn but teach about other families and other ways of life. Wife Swap airs on Disney owned ABC television on Fridays at 8 pm- the family hour!

There used to be a copycat show on Fox called "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy". That had this one really super crazy, nutcase religious fanatic woman who used to scream at the poor guy and kids of the family she went to. I wonder if the real mother of that family was sorry that she ever made her family put up with that whackjob for even five minutes, never mind the duration of time it took to tape the show.
Anyhoo, if "Wife Swap" ever did a couples-only (no kids) version, no way in hell would I sign up. They'd probably hook me up with some guy who would expect me to wear dresses, have dinner on the table the second he came home from work, and would not let me do *guy* things like drink beer or watch sports.
If I did do it, look for my follow-up reality show appearance on "Cops", where I get hauled away to the slammer for killing the sexist pig guy I was hooked up with!
