"Trading Spouses 1/27"
Wow, last night I had a hard time watching the whole show. Between the high energy mother and daughter and the jacka$$ of a husband it was hardly bareable. I thought it was great that the author/public speaker mother encouraged her daughter and is very involved in her life, but there is a point of too much. The girl has no friends or any type of social life that doesn't have any thing to do with her parents. I think they are being too overprotective and keeping her life very very busy as a form of distraction. My fear is that this girl is going to grow as an adult and not have any clue how to act or handle adult situations. Never mind the fact that she may become burnt out. I also thought that the mother did spend alot of time boasting, at least that's how it came across to me. Now for the other family, if the mother just walked out the door and never came back that family would fall apart, she is their glue, yet she gets little respect from her jerk of a husband. That poor woman has more on her plate than any one person should have and to add on to the crap she has a husband who expects it all and won't even involve himself in the lives of the two younger children. I felt so bad for the younger children, especially the son who was ridiculed and verbally beaten down. This is the first time that I have ever shed a tear watching this show. I hope when the mother comes back she gives her husband a big swift kick in the butt.

I agree with everything that you just said. Watching last night's show was very interesting. The girl who does nothing but spend time with her parents needs to get out more. I think that she needs to spend more time with people her own age. I also think that even though influence sometimes is good, this girl is way too influenced by her mother. Watching the show the high energy mom and her high energy daughter seem to be a little too similar. Also it seems like that family likes to ignore certain situations/problems and by acting like they don't exist they feel as though they're no longer there. Also the mom and daughter both seem to have the mentality of a child not a teenager and not an adult woman. I hope that the daughter gets to do spend time with other people her own age.
The other family I feel would fall apart without their mom being there. The dad seems like a jerk and seems to only enjoy being with his older son because they are "best friends" and share similar interests. I got the impression that the younger boy either has a interst in golf and no ones their to teach him how to play or he just says that he does so he can get some attention from his dad. Watching last night's show I also got the feeling that the dad feels that women are below him and that men are superior to women. The dad seems like he likes to be in control and that he is the boss of the house and everyone (including his wife) has to do what he says or else there will be problems. I feel really sorry for the two younger kids and I hope that this experience has opened up the wifes eyes and she kicks his butt when she gets home. I also hope that the dad spends equal time with his kids and treats his wife better.

I never saw the ending to this show and what happened to the money. Does anyone know? Has it been on tv yet?

The family with the ##### husband was allocated money to put a down payment on a new home, money to buy art supplies (so the dad can make kelidescopes...lol) and money for a family vacation. I can't remember if there was more.
The other family was allocated money for a family vacation, an option to buy an RV or a boat, the daughter got a lot of money for a trip around the world with one companion.
Overall I was glad that the ##### husband actually got how he was being to his wife and how he was alienating two of his children. He realized that if he didn't change his ways he would be left with children that hate him and a wife that would eventually walk away from him. I was glad to hear and see that he figured it out and I hope he takes all of the steps to fix how he has been to his family. I was also very pleased that the wife wanted to step up and let her husband know that this treatment was unacceptable and I loved when she spoke up to him. I hope this family will do well.
It was also nice to see the daughter of the over achieving mother get to be a teenager. I think it's great that she has so much going for her and at an early age but if she doesn't get to be a normal 16 year old she will burn out and it will all be for nothing. Her parents are way to over protective and over baring. I don't think that the dad or mother got the point of trying to ease up a bit. I do hope that the daughter starts to stand up for what she wants rather than to be pushed around.
