Q&A with Michelle Harding from Wife Swap Australia

Why did you choose to be a part of Wife Swap Australia?

I choose to be a part of Wife Swap Australia to challenge myself and my family. I wanted to see what and how others interact with their own families and for my family to appreciate me and what I do for them.

How did you find the experience?

I found the experience to be very rewarding for myself as well as an emotional one.

What was the highlight of being involved on Wife Swap?

The highlight for me would be that I made some small changes in the Clark family and that I overcame some fears of my own.

What was the hardest obstacle or challenge you faced?

The hardest obstacle I faced would have to be not being allowed contact with my own family. I missed my babies and husband so very much. Another obstacle was the fact I couldn't do things my way for the first three days of the swap!

What one thing did you take away from your experience that you'll apply to your own family life?

I realised that things I would have normally done, didn't need to happen every day the way I did them before the swap, I also appreciate my family so much more and what they do for me.

What do you think you taught the other family?

I hope I taught the Clark children to appreciate their father Bryan for all the hard work he does for them and to realise that going to school for the four youngest girls is a must. They also need to help out with the daily family chores.
