She will swap homes with a ‘carefree’ wife who raises 11 children with her laid-back husband.
Ahead of the swap, the women prepare a list of rules for how they run their household – which the new wife must follow no matter how different their parenting styles are.

Meanwhile, her strait-laced counterpart is horrified by the chaos and lack of discipline allowed by her new husband.
The wives will later take control by enforcing their own set of rules, which their new husband and children must follow.
The laid-back husband challenges the rules set in place by his new wife, telling her that he doesn’t think it’s ‘necessary’ – and even encourages his children to rebel.
