Family 1 – They skate.  They built a half pipe in their yard.  They skate and are inDUHviduals.  They opened a skate shop.  When the kid what something they get it.  Dad plays video games with the tribe.  The tribe is minors that just show up at the house.  You know that weird old guy down the street with the cool stuff in the basement that all the kids like.  The guy that ends up in jail for pedophilia; that’s how I see him.  The new mom has not eaten a hot dog as an adult; she equates it to eating dog poo.  She had one bite.  The daughter does not understand why she should clean after 20 people were making a mess in the house.  New rule for the week is no skating until chores are done.  The dad is more of a kid then any kid.

 

Family 2 – They are exceptional.  Because they said so.  They all play piano every day except their birthday.  They celebrate their birthdays on the same day because it’s efficient.  They have homework from mom.  They have essays.  They have chores and piano before school.  The children are not allowed to hang out with friends.  They drink Green water.  It’s water with veggies in it.  The mom likes to control everything including others.  HER WORDS.

 

They eat healthily raw food.

 

Family learns that the new mom is into skateboards and the dad worries about them getting in trouble with the law.  The children have a required amount of weeds to pull.   The children are required to do report on news articles from the paper during dinner.  New rule for the week is playing other instruments besides the piano.  The dad just talks over people until people give up.  He wants things done because he said they need to be done.  Not why they need to be done.

 

Another week with no yelling and each side learned something.

Vacation Swap

 

A new idea.  Two families share their vacations. 

 

Family 1 is rich – as in mansions!!!   Their vacation is a $10,000 per night chalet in Aspen.  The place comes with a cook and butler.  They wear suits to dinner.  Family 2 does not own a suit.  Family 1 is super snooty!!!!  There are rules for the vacationers.  Apparently family 1 did not like they way family 2 dressed and ate.  Family 2 did not meet look requirements for family 1.  Family 1 forces family 2 to buy all new clothes.  One fur coat equaled a house payment for family 2.  Then it was off to dinner – sushi.  

 

Family 2 learns to ski in Aspen.  Then end of the vacation is a helicopter drop of the 2 best skiers from each family.  1 member of family 2 can’t get down the mountain and her partner whines the whole time because he couldn’t go down the mountain.

 

 

 

Family 2 – middle class – they camp at a dairy farm.  Family 1 thinks a camper is inhumane.  They mock the camper because it’s beneath them.  They freak because there is no butler to do everything for them.  All they do is complain about dirt and diseases they will get touching dirt.  The mom from family 1 has makeup case the size of a laptop bag. 

 

The mom and one son come around but the other 2 sons refuse to do their part.

 

After the swap Family one goes home and learns it’s ok to make dinner on their own once a week.  Family 2 tries new types of vacations beside camping at the same place every year.

 

Family 1 learns how to fish. It’s a joke; they have no idea how to do anything for themselves because they never have.  The mom is expected to help with dinner.  She can’t cut a potato; she doesn’t know how to use a knife.  This family is a waste of humanity.

 

 

 

 

For those that can’t tell I hate snooty rich people that expect others to bow to them.  I only hope the worse can happen to these people.

Family 1 from Ohio - super strict and super clean.  They must be out of bed by 6am and have 1 hour 18 minutes to complete the morning ; and the beds cannot have wrinkles.  THEY HAVE 1 SPECiFIC WAY TO FOLD laundry.    The 17 year old daughter runs the house while the moms socializes.  They have daily schedules and meetings.  They steam clean everything.   The new mom would rather pee outside then in the dirty bathroom.  The father is a jerk and does not allow the children to speak unless allowed by him.  The kids also clean the car dealership he runs.  This is another family that smells the kids again.
 
The new mom breaks down and moves to a motel.  Then she decides to come back.
 
Family 2 from Michigan - - not clean and not strict.  The dad is more of a kid then the 4 kids.  Underware fights are the norm.  Swearing is allowed.  They use a rake to find things on the floor.  They don't cook; they only have takeout.  Instead of napkins they use the shirt the dad is wearing.  The kids call the new mom a bitch and lie to the dad.  The dad has a breakdown because touching moments aren't his thing.  They went to buy fish for an aquarium; that was the touching moment.

A local family was on Wife Swap. She made people in Buffalo look like asses. The family from here were complete jerks. Spending all day trying to look good is not the answer. I hope I never have to deal with these people evry in real life. The way they treat everyone else around then is terrible.

A Williamsville family swaps wives with a family from Indiana next week in ABC's premiere of the hit TV show "Wife Swap." The families couldn't be more opposite in beliefs and parenting philosophies, and that makes for some interesting reality television. The Guastaferro family, of Williamsville, is into the pageant scene. They believe in showering their only daughter with gifts and introducing her to new experiences. But for one week, they had to set pomp and circumstance aside to live with a new set of rules.

Alicia Guastaferro is stepping into her very own brand new 2008 Chevy Tahoe, a New Years gift from her parents. The new wheels are expensive gift but Karen and Ralph believe in giving their daughter something everyday. Karen said, "We do have a Christmas tree year-round and she does get a gift everyday. Its not like big gifts everyday, but she does get a small reward, like makeup or small item. Its kind of like the simple, enjoy everyday -- It's Christmas every day."

Karen's parenting philosophy is featured in the Wife Swap episode, which airs on Wednesday, January 2. She swaps places with an Indiana wife who is a pastor, a self-proclaimed feminist, and a believer in simple things. And while Karen tries out a new lifestyle in the Hoosier State, Angie Boss becomes the boss of the Guastaferro's Williamsville home. Alicia said, "I live a very carefree life where I have no chores. I have anything I want, I get. Its a great life. I love it."

During Angie's one-week reign, she demanded a lot of change from Alicia. "Angie didn't like any of it," Alicia explained. "She didn't like my name brand clothes, my makeup, my hair. She wanted me to go plain - no nothing."

Meanwhile Karen tried to put a bit more sparkle into the Indiana family's lives, giving them experiences more like her daughter's. Karen said, "Our family is a kind, loving family. And we do what our child wants to do, we let her experience everything, its good for her. She's an honor student, she's a good child."

The Guastaferros have not seen the Wife Swap episode yet, so they hope they are not stereotyped. Karen said, "If they do stereotype us, that we are into pageants or glitz... Well, we are to a degree. But we're just real people in the everyday work-a-day world."

The episode was filmed in Williamsville and Indiana back in April. The families have not kept in touch. Both Karen and Alicia tell 7 News it was a good experience overall but they are happy to keep their lifestyle as it is.
