Emma Payne and Lee Hamlin are full time parents to their ten children, and run their house with structure and discipline. The family works as a team, with set mealtimes and everyone mucking in with the chores.
Emma lives for her kids, but at the age of 34, she's now hoping to pursue a career.
In Sam Zendel-Ellis's home, time is precious. Sam is busy running her own sweetshop, Darren has put his carpentry business on hold to look after the kids, so juggling work and parenting can be a full-time job in itself.
And despite putting in a full day's work, Sam will often get home to more work as she cooks the evening meal and does the housework.
How does a career-focused mum cope with staying at home to look after ten children? How does a stay-at-home mum feel about going to work? And what happens when a dramatic flare-up leaves the whole swap in jeopardy?
