Celebrity wifeswap is actually a really good show
    #22277935 - 09/23/15 09:21 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

So is regular wifeswap, relative to most of what is on tv these days. I rarely wactch tv because so much of what is on tv these days is absolute junk and when I do watch I am often driven to watching old shows like little house on the prarie because its the only thing on that is wholesome and not ruled by ratings stunts.

but I watched three episodes of celebrity wifeswap last night and I realized that despite the fact that it appears to have all the makings of another  reality show, the family atmosphere actually makes it something entirely different.

Two families swwap wives for a week and the first part of the week is under the old house rules and in the second part the new wife gets to implement her rules and ridiculousness ensues.

But what actually happens is, getting a different parent in the house for a week presents a great opportunity for each family to gain insight into  their own parenting skills. The most common result is that both families help to bring a little balance to each other. If one family is extremely strict and the other family has no rules, the strict parent will often show the benefit of strict rules while the relaxed family will show the strict parent that its ok to let the kids just be kids some of the time. Often if certain members of the household are neglected, the new parent will work to make them feel part of the family again.

It also got me thinking about how one of the challenges parents face in today's society is parenting in isolation, often when they have never had proper parenting themselves. In certain other societies, the whole tribe or family played much larger roles in raising kids, so if there were certain lessons you never learned from your mother or father, you could still learn them from an uncle or aunt or neighbor. Americans tend to live such isolated lives that if your parents suck you are pretty much screwed.

How rare is it that you see a tv show that appeals to the same aduience as sitcoms and reality shows but actually teaches people valuable life lessons?
