[@Vanessa-ny7fy]

Reality TV is exaggerating so much that they make the worst qualities of people way worse. I don't remember those episodes as much but usually the families found middle ground and changed and this is a good wake up call for racists to realize that just because someone is different in color doesn't make them less than. I don't find it dangerous especially when they both consent to it lol

What about the episode where the teenager daughters were pulled out of school and “homeschooled” so they could raise the little siblings. The girls were so exhausted because they never got enough sleep and would constantly get into trouble when their younger siblings would act up.

[@laceyrodriguez7269]

I believe you’re talking about a super nanny episode. I actually just watched that one. I could be wrong though

[@apriljk6557]

It strikes me as incredibly narcissistic to think your kids should give up their childhood to raise their siblings. There are times or circumstances when it was necessary because of poverty but I hate that these people put their kids in the position of child labor on purpose. Seriously, evolve with the rest of humanity and let your kids be kids and then choose their own paths. I can't understand how some parents can be so intentionally self-centered. It's heartbreaking and it makes me question how ethical home schooling really is 😢.

[@denisesumlin6852]

I remember that episode!

[@KatJameson]

A happy update** The gawd warrior! Went through some loss a few years ago. (I think a daughter?) But the lgbtq+ community online really helped her. They checked in on her. Listened to her. Talked to her. They didnt let her fall into a pit of dispare. She actually went to her first Pride recently and is learning how to be more open minded and loving of people. I rhink its really sweet that the Internet queers could come together to help someone in their time of need, even though that person wouldnt have done the same for them. Our community really showed her how to love people and it makes me cry still. I was also supposed to be on wife swap. I made it through several rounds of interviews but then they gave me my "schtick" and i was out. They would take something you mentioned on passing and want you to make it your entire personality. No happy mediums or notmal people, extremists only! Thank goodness i dropped out!

As a child you don't want to have the anger directed at you so you'll comply even if you know the parent is wrong or don't undertstand the situation. She stiffened when he reached for her, which tells me she was scared of getting hit. And to hear another woman tell the mother "Your children are protecting you from him" just broke my heart.

[@bees.857]

It was obvious from that episode that those kids were in trouble. To the point that the traded wife was crying her eyes out bc the little boy said he couldn't do her fun thing or he'd go to hell. "We moved out to the country to get away from 'urban' violence". The mom reminded me of Michelle Duggar. They always picked wildly different families for peak explosions and fights. Edit: the chicken nugget kid was a funny little dude.

[@stacie7766]

That little boy needed to be taught some manners, and how to speak to adults properly. Also, letting your children eat whatever they want, whenever they want, is poor parenting. Letting them become overweight or obese is child abuse, and eating chicken nuggets every night will inevitably lead to that.

Lack of sex ed and sexual repression coupled results in adults who often sleep around more (unprotected) they they would have if they were taught how to have safe sex and at least have the option, it usually causes a quick marriage so they can sleep together and then those often end unhappily or they get engaged and try to get married before the baby starts showing- it’s ridiculous (i don’t think teens need to have a lot of sex necessarily or even immediately- but forbidden behaviors are often the most tempting)

Marguerite Perrin, the “God Warrior,” was actually in a second installment of Trading Spouses where she was placed with a man who was kind of reverse racist, if that is a thing.

The scariest thing with any show where people look like they're about to go completely unhinged is that there generally are 2-3 people there behind the camera. So imagine what they are like with no camera around (like the dad hitting the daughter incident). re people that you're used to seeing and wanting to reach through the camera: The area that I'm in in Pennsylvania very recently lost a local journalist/television reporter. She was only 42, was this sassy, tough, compassionate powerhouse, and two weeks before Christmas opted out of life. The first week was unreal. I was worried that my mom and I were nuts because when it was announced on the nightly news, we both kind of shrieked and started sobbing. Come to find out, the entire region of people who watched her felt the same way. Her co-anchor got 10,000 messages that first week. They had the 7pm time slot where they'd cover the news and weather and then fun and/or important stuff. That first week, which was handled remarkably well both for her coworkers and the audience, that week was as amazing as it was rough, because, yeah, I can't imagine there wasn't a person who didn't want to reach through the screen and keep it from happening. ✌🏻

I had never seen the clip of the children drinking or the one with the man yelling about the floor. I hope authorities were called on the father that allowed the drinking. The yelling man strikes me as a DVer. But even if he never hit anyone, growing up in that type of atmosphere is still abusive. I hope she left him.

I’ve heard about this murder case multiple times. It’s kinda mildly infamous in terms of true crime content, and for obvious reasons. Everyone around those boys failed them, and it’s heart breaking. I’ve never heard about that last case though. And frankly, it REALLY angers me. We need more strict and specific laws behind different types of abuse. Considering how common religious abuse is, we need something to help protect people, especially children from that. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe those types of cases. I hate that something abhorrent and tragic has to happen in order for anything to be done about these sort of situations. And even then, the justice that gets served is usually extremely shallow and short lived. It just puts victims into more danger after it’s all said and done. It’s sad, and you’d think we’d understand the patterns and consequences by now. But apparently all the cases that keep occurring are never enough to spark a change. Absolutely infuriating.

Honestly as funny as the Christian/Wiccan one is, its also so sad :( She really connected with those kids but ofc they still missed their mom and the second she gets back shes screaming and angry at everyone. "Not one of you prayed for me!" "I prayed for you, mama" 💔💔 its just so sad

[@msterious-zt5pq]

Did you know the Christian woman's older daughter was killed sometime after the show in a car crash @7:09 ? And she had that little girl.

[@whatthefridge1o1]

There was a new zealand episode that luxeria covered that was so disturbing with how the husband treated everyone

[@suemueller4789]

So glad to see you back on camera! I know you've had a rough time lately and I'm sending good vibes ✨️ your way 😊

[@caseyminett7394]

I can't even imagine how this poor kid feels. He escaped one prison only to be placed in another. Televised child abuse. What a joke

[@micah.1009]

Thats messed up, some people only have kids to basically make them work for them

[@acarlo4380]

"Shes gonna say yes because she doesn't want to upset you" 😮

[@FaithAndRepentance]

The show wrote scripts for the families, oftentimes creating fake family issues as well. Many families have come out and spoke on their experiences, can find some here on YT. Not all families stuck to the script though and many were unhappy with their experiences on the show. Anyways, gotta watch the video now, I have not yet heard of this case. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year to all 🎉

[@Cozyhorrorshow]

This is slowly becoming one of my very favorite channels I live throwing a video on and having it feel like someone is just talking to me about a crazy pop culture fact.

[@amberpixie8550]

Them poor boys reminds me almost of ruby frankes kids

[@Melodiio]

wishing those men nothing but the worst omf to be that ok with being horrible in front of others im so worried for their kids and spouses. i hope theyve been separated and doing well without those guys

[@itsnotrounditsapyramid]

Typing this comment as I watch, I guess it's commentary huh 😂 1. 8:06 That lady said she hypnotized the girl I don't think that's okay to do, if I was mom I would have felt justifiably upset if someone hypnotized my child without my knowledge 2. 8:17 clearly this lady is off the deep end! We call it fundamentalism but really it's one side of the deep end. Very dramatic she should have been an actress 😅 3. That little boy that likes chicken nuggets is a vibe, I love it

[@thatdamnnyquil]

21:45 I can't believe they aired this. Triggering as hell 🥺

[@LilySaintSin]

That type of language didn't exist back then.

[@KBlocker29]

“She thinks she is the queen and we are the sorry people” was not innocent at all imo. It was very telling about how the parents speak about people they consider different from them.

[@jessicamorgan7089]

I vaguely remember a family who after the appearing on that show wanted there own reality show and decided the best way to get it was to pretend that there young son was carried away inside a weather balloon but th hey were hiding him in the attic. The parents were both arrested.

[@chandycandy01]

You forgot to mention they had FIVE sons, and BOTH of the oldest were named Calvin.

[@Kmw444]

Happy to see you back and sending you love ❤️ I hope you’re holding up okay girl.

[@crystalfreeman7076]

I actually watched that 2nd episode you showed and I never knew that happened so sad. He took Lives and now he ruined his looks and brain cells as well wow it is sad

[@LovelessPrince]

People like her make me even happier to be an atheist.

[@2KMMC2]

23:08 geeze watching him yell in that little girls face was very hard to watch

[@sadem1045]

Wife's screaming about her god Husband: "I'm so glad you're home." Eff her, that exchange was funny.

[@sgrace6813]

30 years is way too phucking long for him to be in prison. No, for anyone really but especially since his family forgives him.

[@bonnyrose14]

So, kids can actually drink legally, in the UK, at any age, as long as they're in their own home and supervised by adults. My mum always let me have a drink as a kid too, but I was never allowed to get drunk

[@Christy_G_]

If i was on wife swap and the other man talked to me like that that, im 99.9% sure there would be another murder centered around this show.

[@LoveLaceLament]

My goodness. That little boy learned all of that language from somewhere and it is NOT harmless. Jesus. How telling. “That little girl… can’t run in those high heeled shoes.”

[@Sfeksophobia]

THANK YOU EXACTLY!! You're the first one I've seen who's also commenting on this 🥲 everyone's just praising him but those are not his words, he must've been surrounded by casual misogyny

[@Ms.Prairie]

15:58 RUBY FRANKE VIBES, OH NOOOO ☠️

[@Cc07]

it’s so interesting what these religious groups consider evil but how many times do we come across cases of abuse with cult-like conditions masquerading as pure and good religious family? Some of these families kept kids in cages or just completely isolate them from the world but best of all, teach their kids some superiority complex as well either towards sexism or racism or both. I really think the resolve is that we legally hold parents more accountable with sentencing that they can actually fear and the investigation process isn’t always doubting the kid. If there’s disbelief in the abuse claims then just do the same thing you would in any criminal situation and begin surveillance. Many people proved their abuse because they had to conduct their own surveillance which shouldn’t be the norm. Same for corrupt cops, medical physicians and nurses.. even pedophilia. They all have extremely light sentencing and people wonder why these sorts of cases of corruption, malpractice are all too common! Even cases where a pedo would admit to more than 300 cases of SA only to end up serving barely 6mo in prison with a cloaked identity when he’s free too. These monsters know the law and don’t have too much to fear. Especially parents who can just claim the kid is mental and making it up. Authorities are so much more likely to say the kid is lying and a brat especially if the kid is absent or failing or being rebellious because of the abuse. Even the Turpin case- moment she started trying to explain her abuse- the only question the officer has for her is if she’s currently high😐 Then they walk into the turpin home and those parents don’t seem that scared. If the officers didn’t remain hyper vigilante and searched blocked and hidden areas then they easily would have got away with it like jenn and sarah hart case. The social workers and police are definitely apart of the abusive parent tactics. The kid has nowhere to turn AND because they typically send the kid back after the first report of abuse- oh what a shock how many times that kid ends up dead? Their kid is the snitch/traitor in their mind and these sick fucks make the legal decision to put them back in the home! All of them bear responsibility; police, social workers and the judges who put them back only for them to wind up dead. Even the r kelly case exposed how members of the chicago police dpt protected him! None of them faced consequences for it. It’s too easy to be abusive when you know the system is more likely to protect the parent . So many kids get taken out of abusive homes and the abusive parents are never even charged.

[@andreakanaar2218]

Oooooh the way my husband would tear that man up for talking to me like that.

[@BMarie774]

8:25 when I was a teenager I went to the Vatican. I was a student ambassador. We were invited in to sit and pray after being spoken to by a priest there. I quietly decided to sit in the back by myself and wait as I was an atheist at the time. I was berated by one of the chaperones with us, and told I NEEDED to go up and “just pretend”. At fifteen years old I had a mental understanding of how wrong that was. It was, in my opinion, quite insulting and felt like making a mockery. One of the priests had overheard this disagreement and asked to sit and speak to me alone while everyone went up and did their thing. We were sitting in this very very small chapel room with just maybe five benches on each side. Very old, very small. Anyways, he immediately commented how he respected fully my “maturity and wisdom” to not make a mockery of the lord. I felt quite vindicated having this priest say it was the right decision because faking it especially here, would’ve been making a mockery. The thing that really stuck with me was how accepting, welcoming, and loving he was in his approach. It was very much so “I think you’re still a great person with a moral compass and I believe god loves you wholly and is proud of you already”. This.. wasn’t the norm I’d experienced within the Catholic Church prior. But this approach made me more receptive to the word of god than any other. I engaged in conversation, true, honest, difficult conversation and didn’t feel an ounce of judgment. This man approached me as equals. Spiritual equals. One thing that also really stayed with me was how he said those who damn others to hell, or tell others they’re going to hell are actually massive sinners in need of repenting. Only god can judge us. We are all meant to just love and embrace each other. In gods eyes, this woman is doing the exact opposite of what she should be doing. This man told me how when he encountered prisoners who’d done awful things, he was a bit scared. But god apparently told him “love them harder than you fear them” and he walked into that prison head high and a smile on his face, and the prisoners he met with sensed his welcoming and calm, judgment free demeanor and were the most receptive and respectful they’d ever been. The prison guards were shocked. That’s how it should be. This woman has it all wrong.

[@SuperSara924]

Anyone remember the episode where there was one family who would spank their kids with a piece of leather called “the whacker”? They were also uber strict, making the kids do all the housework, homeschooled them and eat a strict healthy diet. When the new mom had her week, she let them be normal kids and cut up the whacker which pissed off the dad. There’s a scene where the kids are all hyper in the car and he wanted to spank them and the new mom had to pull him over and tell him no. Wonder how those kids are doing today

[@lj0608]

I remember they kept it on the wall where the kids could always see it

[@anneberoni]

There was an episode of one of these shows where the family made a hope that a child went into some sort of balloon and was swept away. At the time the local news got involved and everyone thought the kid was in the balloon. Turns out the parents staged the whole thing to try to get famous!

[@cortarah]

Just starting the video. I adore your makeup. The eye look + lip color = perfect. 💜

[@cortarah]

Also, the mic is snazzy!!

[@elisa-beary]

WoooooW, I watched this show a ton when it was out cuz of the exact reasons you stated in the beginning but I’d never heard this story!! Jeez..😳🤯

[@Human-lg8hb]

11:28 I feel so bad to the kid. His parents set him up to be unhealthy, potentially obese and have health issues. Hope he managed to get some help for that.

[@DoryTheExplory29]

That woman in the “Christian” clip was NOT acting how you should as a Christian. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves and love even our enemies. PLEASE DO NOT GROUP ALL OF US TOGETHER BECAUSE OF SOME HATEFUL PEOPLES’ ACTIONS!!! ❤

[@anglesversion]

thank u for getting me through my last 30 mins of work 🎉❤

[@kyeluh]

Here for you ❤️

[@annemerry3304]

Literally same!

[@ocdmusic]

wtf you talking about your make up looks amazing and nothing wrong with your background! Its tidy, nice, got some plants, even a mirror at a good angle lol Also a good sounding video so far, not just the sound the topic too. I loved Wife Swap, was so addictive. I'm in the UK so I watched the UK ones but have also watched loads of the US ones, prob not ever single one but a good chunk of them, watched one or two Austraian onea too.

[@kristinadjurfors8280]

Agree 💯 ❤️

[@sarahlovee1865]

I wonder if the camera people have tazers or anything to protect themselves and their "guests"

[@feamactire5559]

Oo i think it would be interesting if you did a video on the Beaver family from wife swap and just how quirky they are now on tik tok. It’s always funny to see them and I’d love to hear your perspective on a family that has talked about their time on wife swap.

[@gmlcajun]

OMG the one where the boy shout his mom and brother 😭😭 I remember watching that episode never heard about this though like wow

[@shaniceb.5129]

I’m very surprised Wife Swap didn’t have any episodes on different cultures. Plus the man who bunched his daughter was charged with domestic assault.
