We were entered into the show by our children Kirsty and Courtney, they are the reason we participated.
How did you find the experience?
I found the experience to be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
What was the highlight of being involved on Wife Swap?
My highlight was meeting their children Phoebe and Drew.
What was the hardest obstacle or challenge you faced?
The hardest challenge I faced was being away from my own family.
What one thing did you take away from your experience that you'll apply to your own family life?
The one thing I took away from this experience was to always treat my children equally, also to have more family time around the dining table.
What do you think you taught the other family?
I hope I taught the other family to have more fun as you're only a child for a little while. I also hope the parents learnt to pay more attention to their children.
you know what, everyone that has a better way of helping us poor dumb wives that swapped.......get ***ed! your husband is probably cheating on you anyway while you are busy writing us off!
I pay my taxes so that your children can get a FREE EDUCATION. The fact that you think its not a big deal that they way school, says alot about the young woman they will become.
I guess myself, & other hardworking Aussies will be helping to pay for their 'single mothers pensions' as well.
Your Husband deserves a medal :)
Peace out, a town, c's up!!!! Yeahhhh boy!
Looks like you're a stick in the mud with no humor. Sad sad life!
Hahaha you've been raised well, a credit to your parents :)
Are you embarrassed at all by your children's behaviour? Do you think it's ok to allow your children to swear and be disrespectful? I would be so disappointed in my kids and my parenting ability if they turned out that way. Considering there are cameras it is probably worse in real life. Blaming your husband Cherie for not 'punishing' your children shows where the problem lies, your husband works hard and you used him as a scape goat because your lazy. That was evident with the state of your house. Your delusional, I felt embarrassed for you. You say your going to university yet you hold no regard for education. It's neglect, your allowing your kids to sit around the house, go out late at night doing god knows what (I'm sure Australia will develop their own opinion on that) and carry on like disrespectful young women. Did you notice your twelve year old has developed the same attitude? I'm sure you will write a comment defending yourself or one of your children will attempt to muster an intelligent comeback. It doesn't matter what you say to defend yourself we all watched your gross neglect of your children's well being. What lessons do you think your teaching your kids? Its obvious you keep checking what people are writing so why don't you answer some of these questions since your so sure of yourself. The fact is your checking this because your embarrased and you should be.
I actually do find this very entertaining. Listening to people's views on how our family lives their lives based on 1 hour of a "reality" show when in fact it was completely warped and over exaggerated. To be honest, you and who ever don't actually truly know anything about my family, have your petty judgements and assumptions but in fact they are far from the truth. Now that your done with your assumptions, I'm just going to assume that you obviously havnt been taught well as YOU ARE ALSO WAITING ON HERE TO DEFEND YOURSELF. Another assumption from reading your comments are that you most likely wernt educated the way you wished and that's why you're trying to force people you don't know to be that way when in fact, we all so far (4) have passed year 12 with flyer colours. I also assume I most likely make more money than you and you have no life except children, most likely fat and enjoy bullying. That's a sad life in my opinion and if what was shown on wife swap was true, I would rather live that life than yours. I'm over all this, it's lame and immature now. Have great life worrying about others. (:
Hey Suzy, lol well said, Im finding it extremely amusing as well. Keep the replies coming Clarks and Hardings, ts great entertainment!!!!
Hahaha yes your right it is fun, watching you reply to every single comment. Sitting on the computer waiting for people to reply so you can defend your families bad behaviour hahaha. The sad thing is you don't get it, a parents job is to give everything they possibly can to their children and that includes an education, learning boundaries, cleaning up after yourself, learning life skills. What do you think going out till 2 in the morning, not going to school, not cleaning up after yourself will teach? If your so proud of the way you live then answer the question. The funniest part of all this is your attempting to give advice to someone else when you live the way you do. It is you and your siblings who will live a sad life, uneducated, no skills, bitchy attitude. The list could go on and on. You sitting on this page waiting for people to comment so you can defend every action proves that you haven't been taught well. The best way to prove people wrong is to help teach your siblings the importance of self respect. You don't know who we are or what we do but we have seen enough of your family to cringe on your behalf. Your family chose to open your home and expose yourselves to us, which in turn opens you up to criticism. Let's hope some of you have atleast learned something but I doubt it since your here scouring the net waiting to pounce on anyone who speaks out against you. It's hilarious, I'm sure lots of people are enjoying this, I know I sure am :)

Unfortunately you worry about what others think of you, you are going to have a very sad life. Not being able to be the person you truly want to be but instead worry about the people who don't conform to how you want them to be. Obviously we don't live like that, they have better things to do with their lives, I dont at the moment and this is alot of fun so keep it coming!
Truth always hurts hence family members coming on this forum to defend how they were portrayed. A prime example of parents trying to be friends and that childhood is about fun. I bet none of those kids end up with a university degree or their own business. Mediocre parenting breeds mediocre kids.
Get your stats right, Einstein (i.e. Bianka)
Sometimes the truth does hurt but in this case, I see no truth especially from your own comment. I'm not defending as I don't need to, I just find this rather entertaining probably more so than the show itself. 1 out of the 7 of us already has a university degree, I myself is half way through uni and my brother billy has just started up his own business. So how much would you like to bet? By the way, a high number of successful people all over the world either dropped out of school or didn't even step foot into university. So all in all, university isn't that big of a deal and I definitely don't think I'm more educated or have a better shot at a successful life because I am going through university honey.
It's interesting how Cherie has more negative comments than Michelle - mmmm do you get it Cherie and Husband??
We would have world peace if there was no negativity my dear. Care to join the band wagon?
i thought the children were little arseholes and and the parents have no control what so ever i think all the kids need a big kick up their arses and dad you need to grow some balls and mum you are a clown a big stupid clown what will you do if your kids go out and you dont know where they are and something happens to them yeah you may trust your kids but their are some people out their that you cant trust grow up for f..k sake .
You really need to take your own advice honey.
I thought Cherie Clark's family needed a real shake up. The girls were incredibly rude and direpectful and lacked rules, boundaries and limitations. Their father was appalingly soft and pathetic - especially as he was a Navy Brat himself and therefore should have known better.
Thank you for your input Karen Mcallister. You are a genius.
i have been teaching for over 20 years and i have never ever ever seen such rude obnoxious and disrespectful girls in my life. what a stupid mother raising rude rude girls. im in shock. those girls need a good kicj up the butt. disgracful daughters. raise you girls stupid mother
To cccccc; If word processing was part of the cirriculum you taught for over 20 years, there is little wonder we need grammer police nowadays!
What school have you been teaching at? Definitely not a public or private school. As a teacher, you cant even spell or have a decent opinion. Good luck with your career, I'm sure my girls will make it further than yourself.
Shut up idiot
