Family Issues is a story made by I Love Jellybeans which is a parody of shows like Wife Swap, with things turned Up to Eleven and made even more chaotic than normal.There are two families, and the mother of each family swaps places with each other for two weeks. Elizabeth and her husband James live in a very posh area, with their three children, Mary, John and Joe. Their family have a very strict routine, the house is perfect and the children are well behaved and have good grades.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Stacey and her lazy alcoholic boyfriend Tony live on a Council Estate in a very poor area. They have nine children-Tina, Lauren, Michael, Katie, Kirsty, Josh, Danny, Alex and Ellie, who are all badly behaved and do whatever they like.Stacey is at first happy that Elizabeth's kids are so well behaved, but then she realizes that they are not happy and never get any time to be kids as they are too busy doing chores and school work and tries to give them more freedom. The house descends into chaos.Elizabeth finds it hard to deal with so many children and the things that they do, and tries to give them rules. The children protest against the super strict rules, acting even worse and trying to get her out of the house. They eventually teach Elizabeth that there is more to being a child than what she lets her children do, and she begins to set more fair rules for the house, that the children follow and become better behaved, but still get the chance to be children and enjoy themselves.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior
 Family Issues / int_77ed6b7d
comment
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Kirsty, age 13, and her friends often act a lot older than they are, and talk about having sex and getting boyfriends. They also steal their dad's beer. Danny and Josh both use swear words they have picked up from their dad, talk about sex (although Danny is probably unsure of what it is), and Josh tried some of his dad's beer, but didn't like it.

comment
Wild Teen Party: The older children have one of these while their parents are in the house. Tony does not seem to notice at first, then gets up, steals some of their alcohol and gets back to watching TV. Elizabeth, who is living in the house at the moment, does notice, and tries to stop it.

Virginity Makes You Stupid: Mary is a lot further behind others her age when it comes to relationships, and does not know about sex, as her parents have kept it all from her.
