Last night's Wife Swap sure was explosive when the two wives fought. What really caught my attention during the fight though, was when Neicey called Vicky "white trash." What was that! Through the entire episode Neicey harped on Jeremy (Vicky's husband) for using the "N" word, and then during the meeting she turns around and calls Vicky white trash. 

I suppose if that had been the other way around a lawsuit would have sure been underway. But that's just my opinion...on with the rest of the show.

I had agreements and disagreements with both families, and I'll express those tonight. Sure, we all raise our kids and run our household our own way, but I do think there are limits and boundaries to certain things. For example, I believe Neicey and Bill are too strict on their boys. 

I mean come on, the 19-year-old can't have any freedom at all, and them keeping track of his every move is just ridiculous! Sure, he's still living under their roof and should abide by the rules, but why so many strict rules. If I were him I would be looking for my own place.

And what's up with Vicky and Jeremy not disciplining their children. Children should be disciplined, because without discipline they end up running wild. Children should not run the household, and they certainly shouldn't talk back to their parents. I've seen children who haven't been disciplined before and they usually end up in trouble later in life. 

Maybe my views are different then yours, but I was raised to respect my parents and my elders. And believe me when I done something wrong I was spanked. Not put in "time out", I was spanked. And personally, I still see nothing wrong with a good ole' spanking when it's needed. Let me know your views.

Vicky, well I believe she should make more time with her husband and children. Sure women work now-a-days, but there comes a time when we have to make time for our family and Vicky doesn't seem to be doing this. She should be thankful for what she has.

I, too, was raised in a very disciplined household. As a matter of fact, there were many rules. I agree with you on some points but, on the other hand; there are certain rules that are applicable to certain children that don't necessarily apply to others. I think it depends on the overall nature of the child(ren) involved. Some people need a little more and some a little less.
