I also saw episode Trading Spouses & yes it raised some issues that were revealed & touched upon but for some reason not mentioned again. Ive actually been trying to find out what changes if any Sondra & her parents made in regards to allowing her to BE the teenager she is. The end of the show where her Mum suggests she do craft & Sondra declined to do so & continued to read her magazine, seemed very contrived & the grin Sondra gave to camera left ME wondering. Certainly Sondra is without doubt a young lady to be admired & applauded for her achievements, one would be a fool to even try denying that. Yet, one would also be a fool to deny she is being held back & denied many of the experiences of her age. I wonder if this is still the case? Sondra herself looked sad & at a loss as to why she has little or no friends or experience with boys let alone a boyfriend! Her Fathers reaction to the subjet was puzzling in the way he brought the topic to abrupt end, both in the car when discussing friends & again when discussing boyfriends. He did not allow Sondra to respond or speak for self on both occassions. Sondra seemed at a loss FOR a response to the boyfriend issue & looked to her Father for an answer. Is Sondra the meat between the bread in this marriage? More of a craft companion for Mum & company for her so Dad need not be (because I also wonder DO Mum & Dad have friends? Individually AND as a couple?? In fact, DO they have a LIFE as a COUPLE at all??). Being a parent we protect our CHILDREN as best we can, we teach them, advise them & love them, none of this ever stops…but we also ALLOW them to grow as the UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS that they are. protecting them IS NOT stifling them, impeding their growth as individuals!! It IS selfish for any parent to hide behind excuses of protection merely in order to CONTROL our children & to keep them where WE want them! The question IS WHY would a parent WANT to deny their child LIFE experience? I can only hope that the sister, who clearly can see what is going on & recognises Sondra is missing out & being denied her natural journey of life, WILL or HAS already stepped in & helped Sondra become her own person. The only reason Sondra is/was not emotionally ready or equipped for boyfriends & such, as her Father deemed the case, is/was because THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW HER TO BE! Very sad indeed. As I see much time has passed since the making of the show, I hope Sondra DID break free & far from being a “freak” ~ which is only someone who is proclaimed by the ‘norm’ to be different, & oh heaven forbid anyone BE DIFFERENT ~ I think she is indeed an amazing young woman…just waiting to evolve & be HERSELF!

I would just like to say wow after watching the show trading spouses… this girl has problems both her and her mother do… and the fact that the sister said her mom turned sondra into a mini me is sick i would be ashamed of myself if i secluded my daughter like that and it is no wonder that the poor girl has no friends the father mentions that her leaving school was because the girls were mean to her they were not mean they simply think she is a freak just as the other family thought the same about her mother. The father seems really normal how can he put up with the two of the again I say wow …

I really enjoyed watching Trading Spouses with my family It was cute and I can’t help but see how similar Iam with my mom like you and your mom. I do need some help with something big that’s going on in my life right now but I don’t want the world to read. So If u could find it in ur heart to spare me a few minutes of your time it would be greatly appreciated . Thank u again for entertaining my mother and i on trading spouses. http://www.nickychula@yahoo.com

Way to go, Sondra! I always love hearing more about what you’re up to! I’ve read three of your books, two of them several times! They’re great resources. I’m actually going to try to publish my already-written book this summer! Oh, yes, and I also love volunteering (especially with Peruvian children!)!!!!
