I don't know if I'm the only saddo who is watching this but I loved the first 2 series' even if it was at times THE single most disturbing thig on TV

Just to generally discus basically...

Could you leave your DC with a pair of random teenagers although obviously they are being monitered nearby for 3 days? I dunnoe.

Not just you

No I couldn't leave my baby with random teens. There was a request on here the other day from the beeb.

Weren't a couple of those girls prima donnas? The attitude on Alicea after she'd been told she couldn't just choose not to feed that baby. I'd have slapped her

I think I'd have slapped half of tehm

''Leave IT to cry, IT'll just do it aanyway''

I'd have flew in that door and took my DS.

Must admit I definately preffered the British one.

I've recorded it to watch later - I watched the first UK one when I was pregnant with my first baby.

Wouldn't do it myself, but can't imagine why people do Wife Swap either, love watching though.

I think it is something I would do but not between the ages of 12 months and 3 years. At that age they aren't old enough to be able to explain what's going to happen. they would be wondering where their mummy was and if she was coming back

I hate the way some of the parents are judgmental when the teens aren't even doing anything wrong. One said "He's never going to go back to sleep if he holds him" How is he meant to know that? Bet she didn't put it in the manual! Surely unless you are told otherwise the natural response to soothe a crying baby is to pick them up? Then they said there's no way Alicia is staying home with Carson on her own. Then the next day when Alicia does stay home they don't say anything. I could kick her though for going in a strop and letting Cory do everything.

I love how the gfs think they can tell their bfs just to not go to work like it's that simple in rl! Talk about emotional blackmail.

Was a bit that they were swearing in front of Carson.

at little gym where they teach them to crawl.

Sean didn't seem too pleased to see his mum did he. Morgan thought her mum coming meant she'd be able to dump the baby on here. Her face when she found out she was only staying 3 hours

TBH I don't think this experiment is very realistic. A lot of them wouldn't act like this if it were there own baby. Your love for them just keeps spurring you on so you don't give up and walk out.
