I made you a little pillow.

Oh, my God.

I'm about to step into someone else's life.

I can't believe I get to be a real housewife.

I'm having breakfast made for me. Sounds like a vacation.

Oh, my God.

We can leave it just like this. Oh, my God. This is my nightmare. We are going

to make a raw vegan dinner.

Raw? Raw.

I am in a different world right now. You're very mean.

Making a favorite, huh?

A little Thai deli with the peas and the ham.

I'm Melissa Gorga. And I'm Joe Gorga.

We've been married for 20 years. 20 long.

Amazing. Yes.

Amazing years.

Henningman.

It's a Thanksgiving.

Oh, my God.

I wear many hats. I own a clothing boutique, a sprinkle cookie company. I

have three kids, a husband that's like a child, and a dog that wears a diaper.

So that's a whole job in itself.

Hi, Tonya.

My daughter, Antonia, gets off to college, and there's Gino and Joey.

You guys, I got a letter saying you have too many parties.

See you later.

Bye.

Joe is out of the house at 6 .30 in the morning. He doesn't come home until

dinnertime. I'm unloading this whole trailer all by myself. Most of my days

are with me.

I have coffee, I work out, I do glam, and then I go to work.

This needs to be together. I'm like a rat. Okay, come back home, and then I

dinner together.

I feel like I need to clean the stove now.

Who cleans up your clothes?

She does.

Who makes your food?

She does.

Who makes your bed?

This is bad.

If this house is unorganized, it's better.

Wet towels on the floor.

Kind of, we're ahead.

You're so messy.

A lot of my anal -ness comes from my childhood. I didn't grow up in a house

where everything was run as tight.

I lost my dad at a very young age.

I always said, not in my house.

In my house, we're going to eat dinner together.

You're going to see mommy and daddy home together every night.

And I keep it neat, and I keep it clean.

That's what it's like living with teenagers. You're so OCD on everything.

Gotta keep on it. That's the word.

OCD. Too much.

Eat, because I want you guys to remember how good of a cook your mom is. What I

hope to get from this swap is to just let some things go.

Yeah.

Yeah. You do.

Oh, my God.

You're realistic.

That's my color.

Girl, that's my color. Shut up.

I don't think I can handle, you know, the 1960s, 1950s, man come home, woman

the cooking, woman do the cleaning.

What? No.

My name is Sean Clark, and this is my wife, my life, Michelle Clark. We love

being together all the time.

I don't need any personal space.

We have three kids.

We have Sean Jr.

We have Phoenix.

Phoenix, you don't drink your smoothie. You drank your smoothie?

No. And then we have Maverick. We call them Money Matt.

The Clark household is a vegan household.

Going vegan was a health choice.

Thank you, chief, for juice.

And juicing is everything to us. Yes. And double dutch. And to hell.

We have a family business. It's called Double Dutch Aerobics. If you've never

jumped in your life, this is when you learn.

I am a world champion in Double Dutch. I have been jumping Double Dutch since I

was four years old. So I created a Double Dutch Aerobics class.

The rules of the house are joy and fun is

priority. How do you know if it's done?

I don't know.

Yeah.

Is it done?

Even if that means not doing the dishes. If we're all miserable but the house is

clean, what are we doing?

Did you leave your sneakers here, honey?

Michelle likes a clean house, but we don't really keep a clean house.

Cleaning with kids is like cleaning in quicksand.

No, you know where you're supposed to put your sneakers.

I hope that I get out of this experience.

what a more organized life is.

Oh, it just made my shoulders relax. Saving that.

So where are you going? I'm going to Georgia.

Georgia. I'm going to East Point, Georgia.

Guess where mommy is going?

New Jersey.

How's I like this? You got to do hugs like this. You always got to do that.

on. All right.

The only thing I know of housewives, they live a very wealthy life. You got

throw a glass here or there. Goodbye, my beautiful babies.

Bye, Mama.

And the house must be flawless.

I love you, Princess Fee. Bye, Mama.

I don't like leaving you.

And you hate sleeping without me. I do. I made you a little pillow.

Oh, my God.

You put yourself on a pillow?

Oh, my God.

Worth kissing, I realize. Is this a milk house?

Oh, jeez. I'm very against dairy.

Can you tell me how many kids they have?

They're like two -year -olds. They're going to be infants.

A little rusty.

I really hope they like sprinkle cookies.

Hello?

Interesting paint choices.

All right, so let's take a little look around.

I brought sprinkle cookies.

Let's put those right here.

Let me just see what they eat.

Do they own a fruit farm?

Oh, honey.

All right, design.

Okay. She is the star of the block.

Oh, this is nice.

Oh, that was a step. She doesn't want to go like this.

Alyssa, you do not need to put glitter on the olive oil. Okay, we're eating

chicken? Okay, I see some cheese, cheese, and more cheese. Dairy, you know

I'm saying. Dairy is the devil, if you ask me. I feel rich and fabulous, and

this is just the house to match.

This house is beautiful from the bar.

This is my house. What would you like?

To the gym.

Oh, my thighs would be popping down here.

To the pool.

The house is fabulous.

They're not neat freaks, so that's refreshing.

There's definitely little kids here.

Definitely got boys. I see footballs. I see basketballs.

My house is so monochromatic and clean lines and extremely

organized, extremely neat. You can tell that they live here. This is where we

keep all the clothing.

Am I allowed to do this?

Oh, my anxiety.

I have to organize this. So neat and color -coordinated.

Now, I know you don't spend time doing this all day. I like a clean house, but

like a lived -in house.

Do kids live here? Because I don't know how you keep it this white. It's so

white, it feels like nobody lives here.

These must be the rules.

Okay, friend, let's do this.

Temporary wife.

We are vegan.

No meat. No dairy.

I'm anemic and I need to eat meat. We are finishing our group juice cleanse

which means we have not eaten food for 10 days.

Just juice.

Impossible.

In our household, we don't follow traditional rules. We have dinner on the

We'd rather stay up late playing over making it to bed on time.

Wow.

Joe usually gets home around 6 .30 for dinner. Joe is going from 6 .30 to 6

When do y 'all hang out?

I do most of the chores and tidy up the house. The greatest challenge for us is

organization and rule.

I got you, girlfriend.

Have the best time, and I hope you learn from each other.

Enjoy my family. Oh, Melissa.

Oh, Melissa.

I think we're friends.

I mean, the overall rules were that there are no rules. I mean, there's a

that they have to eat vegan, so I can't even feed them any of my sprinkles.

Hi. Hi,

everybody.

Oh, my gosh, how cute.

Tell her your names.

My name is Sean.

We're both Sean.

You're Sean? My name is Phoenix.

Phoenix. And what's your name? Oh, my God. I love you. You're so cute.

Thank you.

She's very nice. She's very beautiful.

Nail polish, lip gloss, eyebrows.

It's so nice to meet you.

She's well put together. Everything is in place.

You know, different from me or Michelle.

I can't believe there's three of you.

No.

Uh -uh.

No, no. Why don't you pee in the kitchen?

He has a diaper on and still peeing on the floor.

Are we training this dog correctly? See what you did?

What are we doing?

Wifey. Oh, my God.

How are you?

What's your name? Michelle. Nice to meet you, Michelle.

Nice to meet you.

This is Gino. Hi.

Gino, wait. Gino, you're the oldest boy.

Yeah. This is Joey. Hi, baby.

Hi. Oh, he peed.

Yes. Can we do something? The dog pees and poops all over the house on a

basis. He does. That's why he's got a diaper on. But the diaper's not working.

Gotta put it on right. Did you put it on yet?

Who, Michelle?

This is your bedroom. Yeah, this is Michelle and I. Okay, good.

This is where you're going to sleep.

Okay, good. Beautiful. Thank you.

And here's the kids' room. You guys have a lot of books. Do you read to them a

lot? I don't read to them as often as I want to. Sometimes we get in too late.

You all get in late, like with them? Yeah, so we do everything together. Like

literally, you start your day together. You guys are a team.

A team. Wow.

Wow. I've never had a man help with a child in my life. Get out of here.

My husband, never. He's never changed my child's diaper.

That's the problem.

That's the problem. We don't do that.

Do you ever cook?

No. You don't cook her a night meal? I work a lot.

She's very nice.

Very nice.

You know, a little opinionated already. I don't know.

We're just starting.

Let's get to that time.

You guys hungry?

You cook?

You make pasta?

I do. Vegan pasta.

Vegan? Yeah.

You know, if you cook on vegan, you don't know how to cook for an Italian.

But I'm going to follow her rules. Okay. And make pasta your style.

This house is fabulous, by the way. It looks like this every day.

She's psycho.

She's OCD.

You're going to trip out from my house.

You got it by yourself.

You see that?

All right. We're moving and grooving. All right.

Look at that. We're going to eat all these fries.

No fries for you.

What? No, these are for the kids. Oh, no, no, no. They look so good. Melissa,

don't do it.

Don't do it. OK.

And you're going to just finish out this juice cleanse with me. It's only one

day. OK.

It's only one day.

It's fine.

Michelle and I are on our last day of our 10 -day juice cleanse. And I know

Melissa is a housewife, and it can be a little high maintenance. But I know I

can get Melissa to do it.

Because this is what I do.

I'm going to live by your rules.

If that's what your wife would do, that's what I'm going to do.

I love a good juice, but I get hangry.

So I'm going to cook the rest of this beyond burgers.

I'm hungry.

I'm always hungry.

All right, so where would you normally eat the dinner? Right there at the

table right over here. OK. So grab a spot wherever you can.

I just feel like sitting around at a table is a great memory for you and your

family to have.

I'm going to wipe down the dinner table.

You kids hungry?

Yeah. Yeah, OK.

Hi.

Tanya! You're gorgeous.

Thank you. Nice to meet you.

I'm cooking.

Sundae sauce is a thing?

What? She didn't even know what sundae sauce was.

Wow.

Oh, my God. I haven't touched animal eggs since the 80s.

What?

Salute. Salute.

Ooh, here it goes.

Sangria without the wine. That's what this is to me. That's just the way I

it, actually. Mmm.

That's how Michelle cooked.

Let's see.

Oh, yeah.

Not bad.

Really? Yeah.

I think it's good.

Okay. I'll eat it. It was fine. I don't even have it. But it wasn't like mom's,

obviously. No.

Who's supposed to clean all this up?

Me? Yeah.

You.

Can I help clean this up for you guys?

No, we could leave it just like this.

We could clean this up later.

Oh, no.

This is my nightmare.

My goodness.

We are going to make a raw vegan dinner.

Raw? Raw.

But you can change your faces because you're going to like it.

We can leave it just like this.

Really? Are you sure?

I'm in sensory overload.

I am in a different world right now.

My goodness.

Like, we're just going to go to bed and leave that all in the sink right now?

None of what goes on in this house goes on in mine.

Why don't y 'all all clean together? She's just so quick with it. Like, we

our dishes in the sink, and she cleans it really quick, and then we leave.

So I'm taking way too long for all of this.

Yeah.

I'm having so much fun with the little kids right now because I miss my kids

being this age. But I'm also like, they got to go to bed.

Good morning. I feel it.

You're leaving for the day. Hi,

Melissa. Hi, cutie.

It's workout time.

The silence is odd.

Oh, yes.

Smoothie time. Smoothie.

Oh, my.

It's not my rules.

Can I scream loud in this house? Would anybody hear me on the outside?

Can anyone hear me?

It's a beautiful day.

Let's go, y 'all. Hello.

Hello.

So here's what I noticed about Melissa.

She's very OCD.

Melissa, Melissa, Melissa. Hi. How are you? Very nice to meet you.

So I want Melissa to see what fun actually looks like. That's what life is

about. It's not about doing this shit.

Turn around.

Yeah, you're on the wrong foot.

Turn around. Turn around.

Turn around.

So I'm here to do your glam for today.

We're going to do like a little zhuzh. So I'm going to just pop up your lips. I

have to shut up, right?

I've been by myself, George, just a lot.

Contour, body makeup, boobie glow.

All right, she's ready. Yeah, she's ready to work.

Melissa, you're next.

What?

Sean and the kids see this as like a fun family activity in the park.

It's like a trip to the emergency room. That's what's going to happen right now.

Okay, ready?

Yep.

So, yep, there it is. There you go.

How easy was that? See?

360.

Good.

She did very good in double dot.

It was like the easiest thing ever.

I wanted to jump on it. See?

You did it. Oh, my gosh. Yes, sir. Uh -oh. Meltdown coming. Voice.

I appreciate what an amazing hands -on dad Sean is. He never gets a break.

What's up? What's up?

Goodbye. And that's going to change along with the dirty, disgusting dishes

that sink. Hey.

You did fantastic.

Oh.

Oh.

This is nice, guys.

So what does she do?

Trying on some clothes and taking pictures for social media, because

Melissa does when she gets here. We get to dress up?

Yes. We absolutely do.

Yes!

Yes, honey!

Yes!

You look hotter than hot.

I love it. I love this for you.

In Melissa's life, you get to focus on you, and there's a beauty to that. But

the same time...

It is a little lonely. And then the people that do come in are kind of on

Melissa's payroll.

See, I could do this once every three months, but doing this daily? Yeah, a

So we're going to go by my rules for the next 24 hours.

It's Melissa time.

It's time to change the rules.

I don't really do. We've been living under Melissa's rules for 24 hours. Now

it's Michelle's time.

First off, while we're on my time, we're going to eat my kind of food. So

tonight we're having pasta.

Real Italian style homemade sauce.

You know what's the first thing in order?

You're not leaving me.

You will be with me this entire time.

I have a conference call.

There's no conference call. This is family time.

My next rule is we are going to make a raw vegan dinner.

Raw? Raw. Raw vegan dinner. But you can change your faces because you're going

to like it, okay?

We are going to make a raw vegan dinner.

Raw? Raw. Raw vegan dinner. But you can change your faces because you're going

to like it, okay?

I do believe in bedtime.

So we are having bedtime tonight.

Your mother needs a little help with organization.

And I just happen to be, like, the queen of organizing.

But in order to do that, I have something very important that I want to

for. So I am going to take these three little ones shopping today because

you

sir are so amazing but you never get a break to just have a little independence

you could take a nap whatever floats your boat first order of business

is to take off this makeup i feel like i'm taking it off and more is coming on

let's go shopping i have a friend that was gonna meet me here you want to meet

my friend

I really want to get the Clarkson dining room table. So I had to dial in a local

friend in the area to help me figure that out.

Do I fly Melissa?

With three babies in tow.

This is Sean Jr.

This is Phoenix.

I've known Melissa for over a decade. She runs a tight ship. So when I saw

Melissa turn the corner with three young children.

Give me a Xanax.

You're in the dirty south.

Have you been eating good food?

They're vegans.

They're vegans. I can't get enough meat in my life.

We've been juicing.

Forget the juice. What about the gravy?

Why don't you take a look at all the little toys and stuff? They've got

It looks like Elsa. She has blonde hair, too.

And I want makeup, too.

Like the housewife.

These parents are like so sweet. He cooks. He cleans. He spends every minute

with them. But to be honest, the guy needs a break.

Yeah. Yeah.

Look at that pool table. This is sort of interesting.

Oh, I see it. Let me see.

Oh my God, they need that. It's so important to eat dinner together.

Honestly, sometimes the only time I see my kids now that they're older is at

dinner. Thank you.

The Clarks are going to realize as their kids get older how important this is

and they need to get used to that now.

Miss Melissa likes shopping.

I know that's right.

This was the toy store.

Okay, y 'all. Let's get raw.

What is this?

Nutritional yeast is how we make vegan cheese and vegan cheese sauce.

We literally call cheese vegan.

Oh. Joey, forget it, Joey. Just stop.

What animal?

We didn't cut it open. I was cheesy.

Where do you get your milk from?

The cow.

I'm going to let you figure this one out yourself. What's fun about this is that

we're all doing this together.

Put the corn in coconut milk.

You're going to put the corn. No, you can't say Ilya. Wait until it comes

together. Rabbit food.

That's messed up.

You got to say I love you to the food. I love you. I love you, kale.

I love you, kale salad.

Say that.

Make him say it.

I love my steak.

It smells good in here. Okay, well, we're just starting.

Thank God I know how to make a good marinara sauce.

We've been cleansing. I'm hungry.

I'm ready to eat pasta.

It's the only thing I know how to make vegan.

I don't like pasta.

It's okay. I want you to just try it. I got a little table for us to... A table?

Yeah. To eat?

Yeah, so we can sit like a family. I want you guys to start doing that. I

that is something that you guys will do.

If you don't mind grabbing it out of the car, though. Sure.

Thank you, man.

Out with the old and with the new.

What about we watch a movie while we eat?

No. We talk.

Okay. I want to see you guys try the pasta. I want to see if you like it.

It's good.

Thumbs up.

Really good thumbs up. Really?

You like it? Oh, my God, I'm so happy.

Phoenix is very hard to impress. It's like... It was yummy.

The sauce was very great. I didn't know onion and garlic made it better.

Can I have some more? Of course you can.

They're literally licking their plates.

What a different sort of tomato sauce. You're making me so happy. Nothing makes

an Italian girl happier than when someone likes their song.

Does anyone want to tell a knock -knock joke?

Knock -knock. Knock -knock. Knock -knock. Who's there?

Your temporary mama.

Forget about it.

Oh, this is what was missing.

Very simple.

I just never thought that it was important, but it's so important.

Guess what time it is now.

What? Bedtime!

Let's see.

I'm scared.

All right, three, two, one.

Got a little kick to it.

It's all right, but this is my meal.

I'm going to need just this.

I'm hungry.

Yeah, I don't know. Exactly what I thought it was going to be.

This is disgusting.

This is not disgusting.

It's not bad. You did all right.

That was not edible.

So who's going to clean all this up?

Nobody. Let's go. We're going out there.

Oh, sh**. It's Michelle's rules.

Look at Antonia. Antonia, she's starting to commote.

If my mom saw that kitchen, I think she'd have a stroke.

That's true.

I just feel like I need to clean it.

Look at her.

You got a juice for a headache?

Who's going to clean all this up? Nobody. Look at Antonia.

She's starting to convulse.

She's like, stay like that.

I just feel like I need to clean it.

I miss my mom.

She hated saying that.

And I don't want to eat her food anymore.

It's bad.

We're going outside?

We're going outside. I love when kids see their parents act as children.

Because, you know, kids think you were born grown. What is this called?

Double Dutch. Now it's time to do Double Dutch on Robyn!

One, two, three. Start jumping.

Good. Keep jumping. Look at me, not the rope.

Low factor.

Jump. Good. Cross.

Cross. Open. Cross.

No, don't jump.

What the heck is going on here?

Melissa is my wife tonight.

Michelle is my wife.

My name is Lisa.

Michelle. I just wanted to come over and see her kitchen right now. The house is

in shambles.

If Melissa was here, she would say, go change your clothes. Look at you. Put

your pants down. Put your pants down. Put your pants down.

Ready?

One, two. Go a little faster. Yep. One, two.

My whole life I've been told what to do.

I love Michelle.

She's like, go with it. You look like an idiot, but you look great.

Okay,

you're such a good boy.

Can I have a kiss?

Good night, sweetie pie. Taking care of young kids again is reminding me how

much I thrive in this environment.

Like, I loved when my kids needed me, depended on me. Like, I miss that so

Good night.

Good night.

I'm having a blast with this family. And yet, I feel like cleaning up at the

same time I want to clean up.

Because cleanliness makes you want to stay clean.

My stomach's got these weird noises like it's not used to all this grass I just

put into my stomach.

Today we're going to do a lot of organizing because we want mommy to come

and be like.

Look at this. I'm just going to follow your lead.

Just follow my lead. I'm going to fall back.

Okay. So break down the table. Yeah. Can we wipe a town?

Can I do it? Yeah, sure. Yes, there you go.

These kids are such angels. They want to be there and help, and I love that

because I'm like, maybe they're going to show their moms, like, this is how we

want it done, and they're going to like this.

I'm tired.

I'm tired.

Beautiful. Now you wipe it. Now you wipe it nice and dry.

Family. Come on down.

Oh, you're making juice? Good morning. You're making juice? No,

I'm not making juice. We're making juice.

We're doing this thing together. My hands are hurting from cutting all that

stuff yesterday.

Good morning.

It's Michelle's morning. I'm not being in this house alone.

Here's the help.

Nice. All right, here we go.

Like it?

I don't like that, though.

Yes!

From now on, you put your shoes away. Right here, look.

Together. Oh, that's smart.

And boop. What do we think? Look at this. Oh, that is really cool.

Melissa showed us how organized we can actually be.

The book. I want them all perfect.

It's always better to go to sleep when the bed is made.

So let's do that.

When Michelle walks through the door, she's going to love it. I know. And

going to want to keep it this way.

Don't we like organizing, family?

Sometimes.

I got to go to work.

We have to go to work. No, I got to go to work.

No, we have to go to work.

We? We're doing it my way, and we're all going together.

Work to Melissa to get on, to get a couple emails, and they go to the gym,

know, right? Just like you.

Why are you coming at me for?

All right.

Reigning, you sure you want to come?

Yep, 100%. I'm already excited.

You just come along all the time. I like him. I like my wife, but I just don't

want her to work with me.

I want it all.

You're very mean.

Joe is so old school. You know, men do the work, women do the nails. You

understand? And so I'm going to prove to him that that's not how this works.

Okay? That's what let's do.

And I'm going to prove him wrong.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

No. Oh, we got to move up. I can't put my feet in. Are you guys kidding me?

This is a construction site. Are you really?

It's a little deep.

What the hell?

This is a construction

site. Are you really?

Hold on.

Tell me when.

All right, stop.

The wife and kids should never join you at work because they're just, they waste

your time. They complain.

Are we kidding?

My shoes.

You're going to complain, really? My shoes.

I've been saying this for years.

Really? Good.

Put that back there.

Joe! Is it always this dirty here?

Come on. I'll help you. Do I look stylish?

There you go. My dad had some colored tape he'd be popping.

All right, let's go to work.

I'm ready.

Come on, Antonio, come on. We can't find the pipe. I don't know where the PVC

pipe is. Drain pipe.

You didn't find it? We didn't find it. It's got to be right here. I want to do

this. You want to do it? Yeah.

Get in there.

My new wife, you keep digging until you find the white pipe.

Tony, why don't you get in there? Come on, this is fun.

You are out of your damn mind.

You want to do everything together?

Everything. I'll show you how it's done. Come over here.

Now you got this.

Okay, husband, I see.

There it is. There it is.

We got it. Who's the best?

We are. We're the best. Together.

You see that?

It's better together.

Yay.

Woo!

Michelle showed you what a real woman does. Come on. A real woman says, I'm

getting in the mud, in the dirt with you. I want to see what you do.

Antonio, what are you doing?

I was looking cute.

I assume when Melissa comes back, you're going to ask her to come with you to

work every day.

No. No. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. We're family, honey. That's what

happens when we work together.

You're making vegan sprinkle cookies.

I found vegan sprinkles.

We do this last.

Look, this is what you do. Go like this, and you make a little ball.

Look at this. See?

Did you like hanging out with me this week? Yeah.

Did you have fun?

Yeah.

You're so sweet. You're so cute. Why do I feel like I could cry? You're so cute.

I'm crying because I'm happy I got to meet you guys.

I'm such a mush.

I look at this little innocent child, and I bonded with him, I feel like, a

The last couple of days. And I need to spend more quality time with my kids.

Like there's not a ton of time left before they want to move out of my

You're going to like this part.

Brinkles.

This is the fun part. You know what? Let's just put them everywhere.

Let's just put this sprinkles everywhere.

The best thing I ever did. It is. Can I have a kiss?

Yeah.

Who is this? My husband.

This is Joe.

Hi, Joe.

Give Joe a hug.

Even though I'm excited to go home, I mean, wow, it's bittersweet because I'm

really falling in love with these kids.

Oh, my God, you're so strong.

Oh, my God.

We had so much fun. I appreciate it. I appreciate all the knowledge you gave

I really do. Like, I learned a lot. Say, we're going to miss you. We're going to

miss you.

I've learned from this experience that I do need rest. I need that downtime.

When you don't do it, you don't know you need it. When Michelle comes home, I

think I'll be doing more of that. Thank you, Melissa.

Miss Melissa is going to Jersey. Everybody wave. Everybody wave.

We had fun.

Bye, everybody.

Don't cry.

You're all right, son.

Never miss Jersey more.

I hope my family's not missing out.

Hello.

Smell of fresh cut grass.

I haven't cleaned up.

My room's a mess.

The bed's a mess. I don't know how she's going to handle it.

What is this workaboot?

Why are there clothes everywhere? Are you kidding me right now?

Hello?

What is this workaboot?

Workaboot on the floor ready to hide.

Do you miss me?

Look at you.

Do you want to go sit outside?

Yes. Let's talk about everything.

First of all, I am obsessed with your kids. They're the most polite children.

The sweetest, kindest, all three of them. We're together a lot. Yes. I

But Sean needs a little time as well. And so do you. You both do. One thing we

do have in common is we love our husbands.

Right. And so when everybody left and then Jill went to work, I felt like,

Alone. Yes.

I felt lonely.

That many hours every day without each other is too long to me.

We do spend a lot of time apart during the day. It's too much.

But I got to go to work. He's got to go to work. I can't go sit in an excavator.

I have to make sprinkle cookies. How am I going to do that? I don't know. Just

has to be more.

time together. You're saying we spend too much time apart and I feel like you

guys spend too much time together. So let's both take 10 % to start. Let's do

it. Good.

Also, I feel like you need to let loose a little more and make more intentional

family joy because your kids are still here, but the moment is going to happen

when they're moved out of your space.

You make me want to cry because you're right. I know.

But sometimes I just can't let go of control. I think that's what it is. Yes.

But I think I'm inspired because the cleanliness made me want to stay clean.

Good. So, like, at night, I know you guys go to bed with the dishes in the

Yes.

I wake up already exhausted if I were you. Like, I'd wake up like, wow,

a lot to freaking do today. What you said is true. I wake up exhausted.

I wake up exhausted saying all of that. Yes, because I can't keep up. I know, I

know. I feel like I'm in quicksand trying to keep up.

No, it's not easy to do all of that. It just has to become part of your everyday

routine. I know. If you keep up with it every day and every night, I promise you

it'll be habit.

And I am rooting for you.

And hopefully, like, we both learn a little something. Yeah.

We did this. We did this.

We did it. My children are watching me.

Tell them all I said hi to those babies and give them a kiss from me. All right.

Bye. Cleaning up and being tidy and being organized is not just for me. It's

setting an example.

Aw. Oh, Miko. I hope she keeps her house clean.

I really hope she does.

And yes, I am obsessed with my husband. But he also needs that time for him.

And I want to give that to him.

I did watch Sean really spend quality time with

his children.

Everything was like a teaching moment. I learned a lot about that.

Do you want to spend more quality time together?

What is wrong with you? I'm with my kids a lot, but we need to have different

conversations when we are together.

We need to dig a little deeper.

It's not just about being with them. It's like, what are you guys talking

when you are together?

And that was big for me.

Cook a steak. I've been vegan for 48 hours. I've been waiting to give you the

meat. This is not going to... Oh, my God.

Your daughter is standing right there.

I have to leave.

Like a plate, a plate set? Yes, so good.

Oh, I'm going, I'm going on that.

Why is there always sprinkles everywhere?

Everywhere,

literally.

Where's my purse?

I cannot believe I am about to be a housewife. Not my style.

Feels like I could have walked into Pottery Barn. I'm not a judge.

There's lots of poop in here.

This, this is not what I envisioned.

I have never left Eric alone with our three children.

Just like, right now.

This is not going to fly.
