Comments

1. i am a mother of one (terrible 2)and have a step daughter staying on the weekends (6)i do near enough EVERYTHING round the house (with acception to getting rid of spiders and such...) my boyfriend spends most of his time either in bed or on his xbox, i would love to be considered for this show as i'd pay ANY amount of money to watch another woman throw his computer games in the bin and make him get up early!....very unlikely though. HOW DO I APPLY FOR THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

3. I am a mother of two children one drama queen aged 6 and another glorious daughter aged 11 months I work 20 hrs per week and also strive to keep a family home by being very organized. My partner works long hours therefore is not on hand at all times we do strive to strike a balance with giving our children the best. We also have another daughter (step) who lives with her mum but stays once a week at the grand old age of fifteen! We would love the experience of swapping our lives for a fortnight as a reality check for us all bring it on.

6. I Think My Mum Should Go On Wife Swop But She 2 Shy & Doesnt Have The Courage 2 Go On. I Would Like 2 Experience What It Would Be Like 2 Have A Different Mum For 2 Weeks. My Mum Thinks Am Spoilt But I Dont Think I Am. I Have 2 Brothers 1 Called Brandon Who Loves 2 Play With His Friends & Give My Mum A Hard Time & Jordon Who Has ADHD & He Is Ortistick How Ever Youu Spell It & Also Has Speach & Laugage Problems & Cant Spell. He Is Very Hard Wrk & My Mum Is A Carer For Him 24/7 She Never Gets A 2minute Break.I She Always Has 2 Look After The House & Provide For Us & She Always Makes Sure We Come First & Never Treats Her Self. I Think It Would Be Good 2 Have A Swop 2 See How Someone Else Would Handle Livin In Her Shoes. Lets Be Honest Could Youu Cope? My Mum Wont Go On The Show Thou Is There Away Of Convincing Her? Hehe. Love Lisa x

21. I would love to get my family on this show the poor woman who swapped with my mum wouldnt know what hit her. The family consists of my mum and dad, Me and my twin sister Ruby (19) then my 4 younger sisters Grace (14) Niamh (11) Lily (7) and Ella (3). We literally don't stop both my parents work my dad fulltime and mum part time but as soon as they get in from work they are back out the door as 2 of my sisters play football 3 times a week (sometimes more when they have matches) and my dad manages the team and then my 2 youngest sister do dance and gymlastics twice a week, then i'm a student teacher and my sister is a student nurse so were always out and about working on placement doing essays or out with friends but do help when we are needed. On top of that my mum also does all the paper work and organising event for the football teams and works for the football league as the secutary and does all the fixtures for all the teams in the league we literall do not stop! we also have 2 dogs. We watch the programme and laugh at how some of the women on this show would have a meltdown at our house.

22. I am a single mum of 3 working full time, studying for a masters degree, being a taxi for the kids, helping them with school work, attending exercise classes, doing voluntary work, walking on Dartmoor with kids & trying desperatly to finish doing up my house (have been doing this since last eatser but cant seem to find the time). Sometime in all this i find time to socialise occasionally & hve some fun times with the kids but not too often. Life is hectic as is our house with the kids friends coming & going all the time....I often have double the amount for tea at short notice, we tend to have an open house policy! Am I mad or do some peoples lives seem boring? Maybe I would like a quieter life? Mine is so full I don't have time to think about it. I wonder how many others could keep up my pace of life, who knows?

28. I too was horrified to see this episode aired on television for us all to see, this clearly should be a case for social services! Does anyone know which area they lived as I will contact their local authoriy directly. I do not feel it is worth addressing Channel 4 with this issue due to their poor judgement in showing the episode in the first place

29. my veiws on this episode is its very easy to judge some one, and you dont have the whole life story. I dont oppose to anything i watched, but maybe she wasnt brought up that well herself or maybe the natural feelings a motherhas for her child hadnt kicked in because she didnt experience that herself,she also maybe deppressed it could be a number of things and as a young mother myself i think if i was to ask for help from a health professional some would think im a bad mother, i think the professionals are to blame maybe more should be done or more help needed for young mothers like kelly who clearly need the help lets hope she gets the help she needs,

30. After watching the wife swap shown on Sun 21st June, i was absolutely appalled that this episode was even broadcast! I hope that somebody with powers at social services also saw this episode and acts accordingly, in my opinion channel 4 should have contacted social services in the first instance, Kelly was quite obviously neglecting her gorgeous little girl. Its beyond me why this woman is now pregnant again when she obviously has no desire to be a mother! Well done to Kerry for coming to the rescue, her comments and actions moved me to tears, its just a shame her presence is not a permenant one in little Georgina's life! Please someone do something, peoples ignorrance to things like this is why we end up with cases like Baby P.

31. I'm glad to see that so many people are just as horrified as myself that Channel 4 decided to air this episode of Wife Swap, clearly showing a case of absolute neglect on behalf of this mother. Rather than showing this for the viewer's gratification the production team should have called upon social services to fully investigate this young child's welfare. Hats off to Kerry who refused to subject this lovely young girl to the same regime whilst carrying out her role as a mother. Kelly clearly needs educating in parenting skills and I feel disgusted that she is about to bring another life into this world only to be subjected to this upbringing. Absolutely appalled and disgusted!

32. I was horrified by this episode of Wife Swap - horrified that this was allowed to be aired on national television. This young child was being seriously neglected and Channel 4 should have alerted Social Services of this fact - not used this to drive up viewing figures. I shall be making an official complaint.

33. Having watched last night's episode of Wife Swap on Channel 4 broadcast on 22nd June 2009 I felt compelled to write in to you with my comments. The episode featured a young mum of 22 called Kelly from Bristol and her daughter Georgina who swapped with a houseproud hairdresser Kerry from a Northern town. I was so touched by the actions of Kerry who was not a mother herself but completely took to mothering and caring for the neglected 18 month old daughter of the wife she swapped with. She said that the experience had changed her life and that she and her husband were going to consider fostering children in the future. Watching her instant reaction to the child's lifestyle brought out a caring, nuturing, paternal feeling in me which I never fel before and I am not a parent myself. Can my comments be passed onto Kerry as I feel she acted superbly in that situation and each time she cried, it almost drove me to tears too. As for Kelly from Bristol; I sincerely hope that the experience has changed her view on how to look after her child and home and not to take everything forgranted. I understand that at the end of the programme her family had been relocated into a bigger house as she was expecting her second child. I hope for the sake of this child and Georgina that their mother steps up to her responsibilities before social services have to get involved. I'd appreciate these comments being passed on to her too. Yours sincerely, An avid C4 viewer

34. The episode of 22nd June shows a classic case of neglect and it is Channel 4's duty to inform social services and if any social worker from the area they live in sees the episode they must make a referral and intervene. The husband is equally to blame as he is allowing it to happen. A social worker will then be able to assess why this is happening such as depression or just plain laziness.

35. Well well, my heart was broken into a million pieces last night after watching the show, and by reading the comments I see I was not the only one. My eyes are all puffy from the way I was crying for that little girl. Why have children if you plan on living your life to the fulliest lying in bed, infact there are dissabled people in the world who make more of an effort than that woman. If your natural motherly instincts don't kick in after the first why have more children? Kerry was talking about fostering, I think we all know which family she can cantact first. This is very disturbing and I pray that social welfare is already involved and I feel we all need an update!

40. Pat is right. its easy to judge but there is no background on the case at all! Do we even know how the show was cut? and more to the point no social worker would remove the child from that house but do much the same as has been done and encourage change. Very unfortunate and very very wrong but there are kid brought up much worst in britian than what you have just witnessed.

43. After watching a repeat of last night's show I have serious concerns for the wellbeing of 18 month old Georgina. Regardless of the circumstances behind why Kelly is in this situation, what is more important is the risk it is having to her child. This is clearly neglect, emotionally and physically, and should be brought to the attention of social services for an assessment. I am quite shocked that Channel 4 have allowed the filming of such bad parenting without informing social services themselves. How do I make a formal complaint?

44. Frankly, I am disgusted as to how a woman can broadcast proudly the fact that she feeds her young child crisps for breakfast and leaves her to play in the squalour that was her house whilst she sits happily and lazily at her machine. She is lucky that she has changed, because that, in my opinion, is, if not close to, child abuse. Such a wonderful little child doesn't deserve to live that way.

Her aughter is such a beatiful little girl and its hurtful to watch.. im sorry but im only 16 and my son would never be brought up that way its disgusting!!!!!

47. I have complained to OFCOM about last nights episode as I was left so upset and angry that this programme could be allowed to be aired. No child should be left in a soiled nappy for so long while the mother laid in bed all morning and then left neglected for most of the day while the mother is busy on the inernet for up to 10 hours. This should be a matter for social intervention not light entertainment.

48. I watched this show in shock. I hope channel 4 take the responsibility to pass Kelly on to someone who can help - she obviously loves her child but has NO idea of basic parenting skills. If Georgina eats crisps for breakfast, she will end up obese. Surely this little girl has basic rights and one of them is to be fed appropriately. Leaving her till midday, with no interaction is just dispicable and beyond me. I too am thinking about a formal complaint. I know people live like this in the real world, but in that world their lives are not broadcast to millions and can't be helped. There needs to be steps put in place to educate Kelly successfully.

52. Your posters are all very critical of Kelly and she is undoubtedly not a good mother at the moment. However, by the end of the show she was making some attempts to improve. Because the programme doesn't give any background it is easy to be judgemental. Kelly may not have known any good parenting herself, may be suffering from depression or another illness or simply lazy - it's not possible to tell. One poster says "Where,s the faimily?" There may not be one. Let's hope that Kelly is now getting the support she needs to become a good parent - she seemed to be taking her first steps in this direction by the end of the programme and anyone can learn. The other husband needs to realise that women are not here to make men happy but that couples should work together to make each other happy. Good luck to them all - I thought they all showed a willingness to learn from each other.

53. I'm a father of two,both me and my partner where upset to see how that selfish lazy mother brought up her poor little girl lying with a full nappy till midday,and two bottles left as supllies.Coke and crisps are not fit foods for breakfast and certainly not fit for a young child.I could not have left a child in that enviroment and would aswell be upset to return that poor girl to that unhealthy enviroment.It was clear that the little Georgina was a loving child and parting with that bond would be emotional,truly not as emotional as returning that poor child to that mother,really really beyond her comprehension.Funny that she was out of breath walking round the house and going to work, but was very motivated when going to Karaoke. We beleive that child services should be involved in this and we cannot believe they are having another child when they cannot clearly look after one properly.Channel 4 should help and ensure social support where needed.

56. Absolutly disgusting, why should people like that be re-housed because they are expecting another child that will probably be ignored and not cared for properly and in the same position as its parents in 18years time (or sooner), when hard working, honest families get nothing... Do the Government know what is going on in the real world or are they just really that stupid...!!! The Dad was really trying and came across as a really caring Dad but he needs to stick up for himself more. Normally my Partner and I always agree its always somewhere in the middle the happy balance between the two families on this show, but this episode was disgusting and very upsetting to watch.

59. left a comment b4,but it has not been posted,but by reading the other comments posted,tonights programme has effected alot of people.it was very disturbing and upsetting to watch.i hope social services are involved now and i cant believe that this programme was broadcasted.that poor child was so neglected ,it will play on my mind for along time.there are people out there that are desperate for children and would have found this disturbing too.

60. Having watched part of tonight's episode, I feel utterly dismayed. How could anyone allow their child to be treated in such an apalling manner? Not only is the "mother" (a term used very loosely in this instance) guilty of neglect, so is the father and anyone else involved in this child's life. Where is her Health Visitor? Why don't the family get involved?? I fully understand why the lady who swapped and went to look after this child was so distressed. She is truly a much more restrained person than I could have been when faced with this abomination of a parent. She showed this child love, nurture and care for what I probably believe was the first time in her life. I hope she and her partner are successful in their ambition to be foster carers, I wish them and Georgina all the best.

62. i really thought kerry was brilliant with the child in this nights episode! i have a 14 month old and wouldn't dream of leaving her to entertain herself! i was nearly crying every time i thought about that child being left with no interaction! i hope that the mother gets her act together now because if she is pregnant again she will have her hands full and her fella will run out of steam soon! he needs to get a back bone and have time for himself! take a trick out of her book!

63. I have just watched wife swap and found it quite disturbing and upsetting.I'm sure i am not the only person that found it upsetting to watch.I waited 8 years for my first child and went through alot of heartache and there are people out there that dont look after there children properly.it was sad to watch this poor child being left in her bed till after 1pm and then feed rubbish.how could a parent leave their child in that state and with such a wet nappy. their are couples out their that want to adopt children and have to go through years of assessments to see if they are suitable to adopt and then we see parents mistreat and neglect children like that.social services should be informed,as no child should be neglected like that,this shouldnt have been shown on tv,especially with all the different child neglect cases that are in the news,even the women that did the swap found the situation distressing.you have now lost my viewing of this programme and i'm sure i am not the only person that feels so strongly about what was shown tonight.

64. The mother in this week's episode is a disgrace and should be reported to social services immediately. I am utterly disgusted that a child can be neglected in this way. Channel 4 has a duty to report his woman and to give this child a chance and the number of comments on this site proves it. Repulsive, lazy and entirely neglectful. I have not felt this cross and helpless for someone else in a very long time.

67. Disorganized busy Urban Artist househusband, hardworking temp agency wife, three girls under 10, small cluttered maisonette, pet crow, old car with graffiti on it. After seeing your show, wife is confident she can 'handle anything and anyone'. Husband doesn't believe her and thinks anyone who comes into our home will be driven mad by disarray. Husband would like the opinion of an informed third party of what can be done to improve day to day home operations - we appear to be busting our chops getting nowhere.

68. I'm fumeing! Have just watched the Murphy/Moyston episode and am disgusted in that lazy old bag. Tempted to report her to social services. She left her baby all morning, every morning in her cot in a sopping wet nappy while she stayed in bed. The child was crawling amongst filth, both general and cat and fed a diet of what seemed to be mostly crisps. Now shes pregnant again! I know the programme is heavily edited but there was no hiding what a lazy unfit wife/mum she is. What was she thinking of going on Wife Swap and what kind od first class wally is her husband for putting up with her?

72. Hi, I have just watched the episode of wife swap, 21st June. I am completed disgusted with how the little baby girl was kept!!! The house was disgusting and all I did was cry looking at that little girl with a poor diet having no affection, and having to stay in bed till lunchtime with a soaking wet nappy!! The mother should be ashamed of herself!! I am 24 and a single mum with a 2yr old!! My life is devoted to me little girl and still work, play with my child, and keep A CLEAN HOUSE. I just hope she has changed for the better for the sake of her little girl!!!

73. Really I was chocked with what i have seen on the episode of the murphys&the moystons families the young woman who lives in bristol, how dirty she is and how her child is neglected, there is health & safety issue, the child is being forced to be a beast because the mother is so so lazy to clean and cook a healthy food for herself and for her family, something is very disgusting, I feel sorry for the young woman, she dosn`t know that she is destroying herself by her way of living, she can`t stand for 1 hour. And really the other women who swapt with her is a brave woman. I congratulate her for her way of life and tydiness.

76. After watching wife swap tonight I have to complain. I have NEVER been so affected by a program in my life. My daughter is the same age as Georgina. I feel that lady should be seen by social services. I cried the whole way through it. She is the most disgusting and lazy woman I've ever see. I am quite annoyed with clannel 4 for airing it in the first place. I pray social services are involved.

87. My sister and I talk about doing a wife swap. We live VERY different lives - I work all day and all night (self employed) and she plays all day (she'd kill me for saying that). She has a much more affluent life style - owns and flys her own aeroplane, has 3 kids, 2 dogs and a house keeper and says she never gets any support! My partner and I are business partners as well as life partners and we have a very different approach to work and play so there are some challenging times. When my sister and partner get together they have a riot and when her husband and I get together we talk business!! It'd be fun and I think we're going to do it anyway! I fancy having a house keeper and an aeroplane!
