There's always so many extremes on the show. I feel like I'm just kind of average and I don't have a complete opposite to swap with.
-
Actually now that I thinkabout it, they would probably switch me with someone who is rich and a socialite and lives the luxury life.
I'm broke and so down to earth it would be a comedy to watch me try and fit in. Bahahahaha
-
They would switch me with a gun-loving, processed food eating redneck! I have no idea how I would stand stepping into Walmart (not because its beneath me, but because they are a horrible company).
ETA: or Sarah Palin! *shudder*
-
@Mrs.Someone: Lol!! We are gun loving rednecks! We don't eat processed food though. And my DH works for a walmart distribution center so you'd really be in trouble! I guess they would switch us! Hahahaha
-
@Mrs.Someone: in other words, you would be switched with me.
-
@Danizaur: my dh works for the dc too!
-
@Danizaur: yup they would switch me with a rich high class societal family too. Lol!
-
@Danizaur: @Mrs. Polish: No, I don't think I would be switched with either of you! I'm thinking of Honey Boo Boo like people, neither of you apply!
-
@Mrs.Someone: Lol oh god, honey boo boo. I'd die.
-
A super religious, conservative family a la the Duggars.
-
Actually, most of us aren't eligible, they look for people on the extremes who love to create drama. HB would be a totally different place if women like that were here
-
They'd swap me with a stay-at-home, cloth nappy using, TV banning, home schooling, vegan yoga fanatic, who cooks all her own baby purees and breastfeeds her toddler. And I'd fail miserably at her life!
-
@Cherrybee: So, me! Lol
-
A family that adhered to strict gender roles, homeschooled (i'm in public education), was super religious, socially conservative, and frequently ate fast/heavily processed food would be our polar opposite.
-
@Mrs.Someone: Yeah HB couldn't qualify. Even opposites get along here.
-
@Arden:
I wonder how it would pan out?? There's no denying that I would find your choices very demanding and I would visibly struggle (I'd probably end up crying on screen!). I suspect V would scream the entire time (missing her mummy) and I would end up with back pain from wearing her the first week - and probably want to sleep train Ferber style the second week. What do you think would happen when you moved into my house?
-
I'd probably get switched with a super loud and obnoxious, up-tight family
I'm very quiet, reserved and laid-back.
-
Probably some neat freak who is super scheduled and "by the books"? We are a very casual household that just sort of goes with the flow.
Don't think I'm extreme enough to be on the show though.
Edited because I just thought of something better! Maybe with a super active outdoorsy family? I don't like outside. Or like, doing stuff outside my house. I'm a super homebody!
-
@Danizaur: This is the BEST question!!!
I'm a totally 'granola' 'lives in the pacific northwest' 'vegetarian', haha ... Sooo, I'm guessing a big-city mom with a really strict schedule, lots of money, and who doesn't really care about consuming crap food. -
I'd be odd to match up, because while I'm a homeschooled/homeschooling and religious, I'm also politically liberal and "crunchy".
-
@Vegmama: That's me - without the money.
Ugh, why am I everyone's anti-mom?!!
-
@Cherrybee: HAHAHA! I think you're absolutely lovely!
I think I'm more of the "take a look at this lady" kind of character on the show. You're the normal one! -
@Vegmama: But I bet while I'm upsetting your family by writing the schedule on a big piece of paper and sticking it up on the lounge wall, getting all bent out of shape when family members don't hang their coats up or put their shoes away because "I just don't have time for this!", my husband will be chomping on mung beans and feeling more healthy than he has done for years!
-
I am pretty socially awkward and I hate parties and being around a lot of people, so I'd be a good match for someone who is super outgoing.
Or a conservative religious family. I am very much pro-choice and pro-marriage equality.
-
I would like to rephrase my answer. They would have to switch me with a Juggalo. Whoop whoop.
-
@Danizaur: I can be a total stress case, worrier and control freak sometimes, so they'd switch me with someone really spontaneous, laid back, messy, etc. and it would cause me to have heartburn
-
Kim Kardashian!
-
@deerylou: what is a juggalo? I don't know.
Oh man I loved them back in the day.
-
A family that is very conservative, loves guns and hunting, and isn't really close/affectionate with their kids.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: Hah! I just spit out my juice. Magnets....how do they work?
-
Someone very type A. Scheduled and super clean. I am neither of those things.
-
Someone who is very organized and requires a spotless house, while shuttling kids to a million activities and responsible for elaborate dinners every day while the father is either a workaholic or lazy and doesn't help a bit.
I'm super casual and laid back, my house looks lived in and I am the queen of crockpot or 30 minute dinners.
I also tend to be more crunchy so someone who eats crap all the time...
Oh - someone who lives on a full fledged farm in the middle of nowhere. Ugh I would hate that.
-
@Cherrybee: hahahaha. Don't feel had, that's partially me though too! Except that I watch a lot of tv
-
Like @Mrs. Pen:, I'd be swapped with someone who's a clean freak/chore obsessed mom of many (who may SAH not by choice but by demand) who's married to a controlling/bossy man.
DH and I are pretty laid back, liberal, and share responsibility pretty equally, so being in a very strict traditional gender-role focused home would killlllll me. Whenever I do flip across that show there's usually some lazy or bossy SO that I just want to smack!
-
Probably someone more messy and disorganized lol.
-
Someone who lives on a farm. I am sure having me do farm labor would be comical.
-
A neat freak who has the whole house under control, exercises religiously, doesn't consume sugar or caffeine and who hates technology.
Although...I aspire to be some of those things haha.
-
One of those real housewives!! Haha!
-
@indi: yeah I totally could not handle a spouse who doesn't help at all... No tolerance for that!
@pui: hoarders!! ugh that would be the worst!
-
@mrs. wagon: haha yes!!
@Mrs. Pen: I think you and I would be swapped
except the meals I make aren't that cool but I do bake often. And...we do sometimes eat processed crap!
