So who would they swap you with?

Inspired by the wife swap thread, I though this would be an interesting thing to think about. If you were to sign up for one of those Wife Swap shows, what kind of family do you think they would swap you with?

OK, I'll go first... I'm sorry to say that I'd be the neat freak, germophobe, super structured house that you'd be trading with. My family jokes that I have to sterilize my house before I leave on vacation. Clean out the fridge and everything else. But at least you'd have a Doxie here too.

Well welcome to my house, where even the beloved doxie eats and sleeps when/where/how he pleases. The kids are nice enough if you manage to see them at all. They are currently sleeping all day and awake all night. The house is sanitary....I think. I'm not usually home long enough to know whether it's clean or not.

Well, since they love stereo types, I'd probably be swaped with

extremely wealthy, frivelous, messy, ill mannered northerners who hate the outdoors...

so that would make me a poor, tightwad, red neck neat freak with kids who say yes ma'aaaamm all the time?

..."bless their hearts"

Too easy, I'm the SAHM, homeschooling, unscheduled lady. We'd be traded with someone who would probably be strict and want to stick my kids in every sport and make my husband get a haircut. lol

My sister in law.

 

[MushyMushy]

A type-A, neat freak, Republican conservative Christian, ultra structured and highly energetic woman.

I wouldn't mind them sending a neat freak to my house for a week or two though.

Hey MushMushy, we must be twins - that's exactly what I was going to say!

They would probably swap me with a family that has a dad who thinks that women should do everything around the house and that women are here to serve men. That is why I would never volunteer for the show. LOL

I would either get swapped with a vegan, anti-hunting, loves to go to protests kind of family or the home-schooling, no pants for girls, earth is only 6000 years old family.

I know .... I must be very middle of road to get stuck with either of those families. But I too would love for a neat freak to live in my house for 2 weeks!

You would probably be swapping with me too. I am not a germophobic or a neat freak.

Dr. Phil had a show today about a lady that is OCD. She cleans so much that she has toxic levels of cleaners in her system and will probably develop cancer at some point in her future. Not me. We live with the germs and because of that, we hardly ever get sick.

I don't watch Dr. Phil but I am glad I don't clean to that extent!

As for my swap...

I think it would be someone inland (middle US and not 5 miles from the coast of the US like me), someone slow-as in lets take 10 min to scoop out one scoop of ice cream (yes I have experienced this on a trip).

The person is either going to be a gung ho neat nick that freaks if her kids spill food on themselves, the floor or the chair (OK I freak but they are kids) or someone who is a pack rat.

The person might be an exercise freak & can't start the day with out at least an hour work out.

They don't know what a computer is or go on it very rare.

They like to camp with out running water/toilets.

The nails & toes are perfectly coiffed (is that a word?) & wears designer sun glasses.

I guess I am a middle of the row type of average girl!
