Beautician Tara Hollick and her husband Alan believe in liberal parenting. They would rather their children feel free to express themselves in front of their parents than go behind their backs. So Alan's 16-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Charlie, smokes and drinks alongside him and Tara. 'Wrap 'em up in cotton wool and you're asking for trouble', says Alan.
Meanwhile, if ex-England squash pro Sam Willis caught any of her four kids with a cigarette, she'd make them chain-smoke until they were sick. Life in her Kettering home is run like a military campaign with Jade, 15, George, 12, Dionne, nine, and Olivia, seven, packing in 40 hours of extra-curricular sports, dance and music every week. Sam's husband, construction boss Nick, works long hours six days a week, leaving her to look after the kids alone.
Sam's not impressed when she detects smoking as soon as she walks into the Hollick home. Ten-year-old Ryan is asthmatic and Abi, five, could be picking up bad habits. When both mums introduce their new rules, Nick reckons he¿s in danger of ending up in a padded cell and Alan leads Sam a merry dance. Is either party prepared to rethink their ways at the end of the swap?
