they smack their children, so obviously that will be a contentious issue.

sorry, x post with octavia - the family with the little boys smack their children, not the larger family.

don't really understand hwo people could go on programmes like this. Of course my family isn't perfect and we have our bad points but don't need someone else coming into my house and pointing them out to the nation on tv.
maybe very hypocritical as love watching this....

I saw that, octavia and nannynick!

Am not really watching wife swap now, however, as I have an internet to read.

hardly fair to lay the fact that she's going home early on the children.

she is a bit wet - and she did throw Shannon's dog, so unsurprising that Shannon got cross.
