Trading Spouses, Levy Family Part Two

Marybeth might be my favorite mother from the whole show. She is so supportive and sweet at least from what they showed us.

[@Urbanracer]

Dont forget Dina lol

[@melrose8213]

I just wanna hug her. I hope she knows that she is frickin adorable and such a sweetheart and it could have been any person, and they’d of still acted that way. All distant n too kool for skool n what not :((((

[@Imojean]

She was so kind!

[@maidahaltrecht6577]

She is a good person and very caring. I wish she could have helped the other kids too.

[@Azkamoski]

I don't cry at anything, but that part where Marybeth looked inside Brian's room, just made me tear up and smile. I know these scenes can be set up sometimes, but that was just a beautiful moment.

[@soniasavage5852]

The gift from him to her at the end made it real for me. 😅😅😢 Okay I might wanna cry really quickly

[@maidahaltrecht6577]

I almost teared up too.

[@happyaccident105]

This episode of Trading Spouses has really stayed with me over the years. Janet is just an awful, awful person. The way she treats Brian turns my stomach. That guy is so talented and unhappy. Janet is way too judgmental and she repeatedly hurt his feelings. She was the same way with all of her other kids, too. She is narcissistic enough to think that everyone around her loves and adores her but that is not the case at all. She's rude and too self involved to notice what's happening around her. Mary Beth is incredible. Just incredible. Her heart is big and open and she genuinely cares about people. I hope that everyone is doing okay ... but Janet can stay on her own planet for all I care. She is NOT a good person.

[@jasminejeanine2239]

+Chelle Daniel I definitely agree with you. I had a mom similar to her in many ways. (Mainly the way she always puts down her kids hopes and dreams and always thinks that she knows best!) It made me cry to see the look on Brian's face when he got positive input from a mother for the first time in his life! It was amazing to see how the whole family was SO shut down emotionally all scared to share anything bc of the continual bullying they got from their mother. This also showed how much what you tell your kids effects them, though happily you can turn things around with just a few kind words of encouragement!

[@ginb981]

Chelle Daniel __ agreed

[@ginb981]

Valerie Sherman __ I dealt with same kind of mother too! What you say is so true ...

[@michellehuglitt7258]

I wanted too agree with you, and I'm aware this is old, but purely I believe this woman does not like herself and that she honestly feels that she is entertaining with her obnoxious behavior. I really hope she has gotten a better grasp on things, because I have hope, as well as her children are not bad children (that I could tell from a tv show) so she's got some things right. And wether they would admit it or not... they love her. I for one do vote for MaryBeth. I love her positivity and kindred spirit. I know people like Janet and they all deserve love.

I think we ALL would have LOVED to skate with Mary Beth. Those children were rude, disrespectful, and didn’t even TRY to make her feel welcome.

[@jessielynch7493]

I can't skate worth crap on rollerblades but I would fall on my fat butt in public for her or if it was allowed strap on a pair of regular roller skates

[@dcham041]

I think if you all were raised with someone like Janet you would understand why those kids are so distant, it’s not that they don’t like Mary it’s just that there use to dealing with Janet loud overbearing presence, she doesn’t really talk to her kids so they pick up on that and naturally shut down it’s obvious Janet kids feel as though they can’t talk to her, Mary actually talks to them and make them feel like they matter, they would change over time if Marybeth was there

[@Undefinedcreature394]

I literally was so sad watching that.

[@stephanielong2660]

I just have to add that at the end of this episode, you can totally see how wonderful the Levy family is by how the older biological children stayed back while the adopted children rushed to their mother. It showed such unintentional compassion that they allowed their siblings who needed that motherly reassurance more than most to embrace her first & feel that relief that their mom was home & with them. I'm over her crying, watching this episode for the millionth time because I've gleaned so much from watching this tremendous family not take anything for granted & simply be wonderful people.

[@godislove9307]

That's so perceptive-- what you said about the biological children letting the adoptive children greet their mother first. Totally missed that, and glad you pointed it out.

[@jeanakatherine9369]

Janet could make a fortune renting herself out to fill in as a mother's replacement for a week. It would be a guaranteed way for mother's to be appreciated and adored by their children and husband's after having to experience Janet.

They lack people skills because Janet is such a poor role model.

[@barbaradalzell2597]

@@CountrySing She also tells them to be quiet, don't make noise, shut up, and so on. She doesn't have conversations with them, because she wont listen to them and does not care about anything they have to say! It's all about her, and anything those kids do or say gets them yelled and screamed at, ridiculed, and shamed!! It's disgusting and not how a mother is supposed to be with her children!! Smh... She was difficult to watch, or even hear! I am very disappointed in her as a mother, wife, woman, and even a human being! She obviously lacks empathy and understanding! Those poor kids!! No wonder the oldest turned to drugs and alcohol at an early age!! I have a ton of respect and awe for him that he was able to get and stay clean and sober living in that house like that!!

It kind of makes me sad that Janet is so out of touch with reality. She was actually upset that she had to share the money with her KIDS? Really?! Wow.

[@layneparker3087]

I do feel a lot of pity for Janet, for sure. She thinks she's supportive of her son's art when she (very vocally) LOATHES his medium. She's jealous and upset that they thought Marybeth was wonderful when Marybeth woke up, took care of them, and spent every waking second trying to show an interest in the family - even when they weren't ready to be receptive. Janet is lazy and doesn't see the value in something as simple and easy as making a batch of muffins, ffs. I learned how to make muffins in 5th grade. It's really not that complicated. She just doesn't understand... she doesn't even have to mimic Marybeth for her family to appreciate her. She just has to do SOMETHING worth appreciating. You get what you give... and if Janet wants that same kind of affection and adoration, well, she's got to find her own way of showing her family she loves them instead of just being critical and laying in bed all day.

[@thelittlepiper1868]

Mary Beth seems to be mother of the year in my book! She is so lovely and caring. What awesome parents they are. I had to laugh when the 'ghost hunter' told Janet she should pretty much be leaving the house. I feel so sorry for Brian and his family, Janet is a very blind lady. I hope Brian gets to make his dreams come true!

[@rempanda]

I think all parents should strive to learn something from MaryBeth - you may not understand your kids passions but you should always support them and just give them unconditional love. The Farrell teens seemed like nice people, they had just been so overwhelmed and a little emotionally stunted by their mums loud and unpredictable nature. The Levy family were so wonderful, such a fun and compassionate family. I think they handled the whole thing really well, especially considering that Janet came in and was so nasty to their friends.

[@lorabetht9206]

I legit cried when Brian gave Marybeth the present 🎁😭 she showed him so much genuine kindness! Tattoos are not looked down upon anymore- I am an artist and have thought about working in that industry as well.

They're not normal teens, they're complete shut down from being raised by that narcissist, Janet. It's so easy to dismiss people as trash but that whole family revolves around Janet's ego. I was raised like that, I never meant to be rude with new people but I was scared because all I knew was that kind of crap.

[@SpookyMingo]

i just think the kids have been so emotionally abused and neglected by that narcissistic mom janet, so when they speak their minds they're used to negative feedback. when you grow up with someone like that every day it'd be hard to have confidence and think it's safe to talk about their personal feelings since usually it doesn't mean a thing to their mom. So to have someone in the mother roll even with it being marybeth it was still hard cause they've just been scarred by the woman that usually plays that roll. that to me was just showing the damage the mom's done for their social skills and how much they have to overcome now ):

[@mikalbates5231]

[@lisaowens2040]

Thanks Emma for sharing your family with us!

Mary is possibly one of the sweetest people they've ever had on this show. She's so amazing. When she actually offered to let Brian stay at her home to check out the scene where she lives, I was just amazed. She's living with this household of people who act like they want nothing to do with her and all she does is respond with love. Offering what is essentially a stranger into her home, just amazing.

Bryan if you are reading this comments I want you to say that You are an AMAZING ARTIST 🤗👏🏻💕wow 😀

[@PassionateGoth]

Mary Beth is an absolutely wonderful, hard working, people oriented, family oriented woman who obviously loves her family and is a dedicated mother and wife. I love the fact that she is fun loving and cares for others, and is open to possibilities. The first few minutes of part two irked me. She wanted to go to the family fun center to connect with them and hopefully get them to loosen up, epic fail. Have Janet's family ever had fun as a family before?! Her feelings were hurt because it seems like all that she's doing isn't getting through. I'm surprised she got through to Brian. At the beginning of the episode it was mentioned that Brian was a bit of a trouble maker. It may have been because of the fact that his mother criticized everything that he did/does. Maybe he felt the only way he could express himself and get out his true feelings was to act out. He's very talented and when I saw his art work, I felt something deep in my soul. I hope he keeps it going and makes a living out of it. For Janet to say that the Levy kids simply adored her made me see red for a moment. Brian was not excited to see his mother at all. He was not thrilled when Mary Beth left. When the younger son said he was not excited to see his mom it make me smirk. How rotten is Janet to the point were she'd rather have all that money to herself because she feels she deserves to "treat" herself. It seems to me that she treats herself enough. She is BEYOND selfish. To make it worse she's perhaps ticked off about sharing the money with her kids and now she's taking it out on her family. Her kids aren't happy and neither is her husband. I can tell that he just tolerates her. It looked like at the end Brian was was packing his bags and leaving. I don't blame him, but now the others have to suffer. At lease Janet was thoughtful of the Levy family's money.

The light haired mother was a true inspiration for other mom’s. Such a beautiful moment when she was promoting the other mother’s son. Loved it!! Children NEED motivation and support from those they love. Encourages success.

[@kathyc8922]

Narcissism at its finest. Wow...

[@amandabaker8446]

Marybeth Cared about brian art. and if she didnt at least she acted and incourged him to keep it up unlike his mother. who seem really rude to Marybeth frineds and kids frineds

[@sabrinalecrivainmediaTM]

Issa NEW YoRKAH thing. It's not rude. 🤷🏼‍♀️🗯️

[@keithagraham3901]

Marybeth is such a good mom 😍 her face lights up when she's with her family ❤

[@starcarteriii3448]

I feel bad for Janet's family, I hope that things have gotten better. Sadly, it would sadden me if that family got separated.

[@legoma84]

im not crying. 😭😭😭 Mary Beth, you smart, loving, talented, great mom lady. you are raising amazing human beings. 😭😭😭😭 when she went to the oldest 20 yr olds room.... just wanted to cry. she's such an amazing human being 😭😭😭

[@itsjustme.7059]

I loved when Marybeth went too see his work. She was so understanding and saw he truly is talented.

[@blurthewolf1416]

you know this episode is old when you see that first commercial...

[@vintaqe_vibez5978]

Oh Lord have mercy! I feel sorry for Brian’s gf or wife. To have Janet as a mother in law?! Oh HELLLLLLLLLLLL NO! 😭🙅🏻‍♀️💩

[@Supablonde1]

Psychologically speaking,Janet was probably picked on a child and thus led to her becoming a narcissist. When Mary Beth said how great an artist Brian was,Janet immediately rejected the idea,all praise and attention has to go to Janet constantly for her to survive emotionally.

[@shawhennessey3178]

I want to know what happened to Brian

[@cherylverdon3077]

"Find what lights their fire." Marybeth's advice to parents is THE BEST. Bless her.

[@creativespirit629]

I hope I marry someone as wonderful as Marybeth.

[@dakotaspradlin8258]

your own children should not dread your return after being gone for like a week! it just helps show on top of everything else what a horrible person she is. No one not even her own family or husband like her! but marybeth is amazing and a wonderful person. and an awesome family. :)

[@pistolshrimp2109]

That Asian kid is my hero!

[@cw9790]

I lmao'd when he slapped the other one upside the head when he said "Can I leave now?" lol

[@tynicole88]

Mary Beth is such a nice person, loved her attitude towards life. The other mother and family are so miserable

[@OhhMyLena]

Wow Mary Beth is such a genuine, noble person. You can tell that she would take any child into her arms as her own and just love them openly. She reminds me so much of my grandmother it warms my heart up. She definitely has a special spot in heaven just for her 💓 Incredible!

[@LiD0349]

Mary Beth is one amazingly kind, loving and compassionate woman and I love her. She’s absolutely one of the best mums to appear on this show ever

[@katelynking4978]

MaryBeth seems like an awesome mom and person in general. She reminds me of my mom, who’s the hardest working person I know. Go hardworking moms! 😊 And best of luck to all the kids including Brian!

[@tabithanoneya5368]

Love watching these older commercials. Realized I was in Vegas on vacation when this show aired. Fun to look back and see where I was at during these episodes.

[@egormc5919]

brian seems like one amazing guy . I hope he followed his dreams hes very talented

[@missymcintosh8603]

PS. shoulda said this first. MARYBETH is the best mom ever!!!! she could teach others how! if they would listen.

[@D3nm0n18]

these videos are gold especially with the old commercials, it’s like going back in time 😌

[@samuricexful]

This is the only episode I remember from both series and it's because your mom is a fantastic person.

[@smokey2dopeee96]

Omg, the nostalgia from these old commericals!!

[@buttaflybex3872]

I would like to see an update on both these families. I did not like Janet very much. And I do not think her own family likes her too much either...

[@rybo510]

OMG the more i see Marybeth the more I absolutely adore her. Such a great supporter and so loveable
