Mother of two, Debby Zaring, a wife whose obsessed, competitive truck-pulling husband doesn't appreciate her, swapped lives with another of mother of two, Corrie LaBrie, a wife whose main concerns are her appearance and partying like a rock star. Both Moms talked to us about their experiences on last night's Wife Swap.

ML: What did your kids take away from this....good or bad?
Corrie: Hunter, my 9-year-old, actually enjoyed doing chores with Debby. She would earn championship ribbons for the chores she completed. I know now I have to step up when it comes to having the kids do chores and giving rewards.
Debby: They no longer have a prejudice against people who are tattooed. Where we come from the people who have lots of tattoos are degenerates of the law. And now they see the artistic side to it, and it opened the door for my daughter to get one.

ML: How was it dealing with a teen girl vs. a teen boy?

Corrie: Isaac was easier, no drama with him at all, very mellow. It was awkward because he is 17 and I am 34, and when I gave him a nice hug, all his friend hooted. I am supposed to be his mom and it wasn't that kind of hug.

ML: What did you think of your husband reacting so negatively to Corrie?
Debby:
To be honest, I was very disappointed in him. I was disappointed because he showed no respect. His true colors showed. I know there is a big heart there, and he should have showed his softer side.

ML: What song best describes sums up your experience on the show? I Will Survive, Crazytrain, or A Little bit Country, a Little Bit Rock-n-Roll?

Corrie: Definitely Crazytrain because I was a basket case the entire time. You are cut off completely from your family and friends for two weeks, which left me no outlet to vent. I am used to
talking to friends and my family all the time.

Debby: Obviously, A Little bit Country, a Little bit Rock-n-Roll.

ML: If asked to do the show again, would you?
Corrie: At first, I would had said hell no, but now looking back, yes.
Debby: Yes, in a heartbeat. It's good to step out of your comfort zone.
