I like Kitty being the one to suggest the idea to the kids.

Who do you think would have the easiest/best time? The hardest/worst time? And which parent(s) would have the best/worst time?

Hyde with Fez's host parents.

Donna with the Burkharts.

Jackie with the Formans.

Eric with the Kelsos.

Kelso with Edna.

Fez week with the Pinciottis.

I think Jackie would have an easier time with the Forman's because she seemed to really like being around them, even if she wouldn't really admit it.

I can see Eric having trouble with Kelso's parents, because let's face it...their Kelso's parents.

Maybe ... but if she acted the way she did at the Pinciottis' in "No Quarter," Jackie would be a dead woman.

Eric would have to fight for scraps of food. He'd be a dead man, too.

I think Eric would have a tougher time with Kelso's siblings. They'd use him as a football or something!

If Donna's sisters were still home at the time, Fez might hide in their closets.

Donna at the Burkharts-assuming it's S1 Pam Burkhart; I see Donna getting along pretty well with her as a career-oriented woman.

If Donna still had sisters, they would have to watch out for Fez hiding out in their closets, that I can see happening!

Oh, gosh! Poor Eric!

Bob would kill Fez if he spied on Tina.

S1 Pam Burkhart FTW. Well, she's at least better than S6 Pam Burkhart.

I don't see much good out of any of them switching parents or houses for the night, unless they wound up and got the Formans. Kitty would take care of them, some of them might have to fear Red.

[MistyMountainHop]

You don't think Eric might count himself lucky to have the family he has if he had to experience Edna or the crowded, chaotic Kelsos?

[msstock87]

That's a good point, Eric might spend some time at the Kelso's or the Hyde's and realize even with Red he is pretty lucky.

[hanselnext]

Eric was a little spoiled. Spending time with Hyde's family or Kelso's family might make him realize how lucky he is to have Kitty and Red as his parents. Red is tough but he's tough because he loves him.

[msstock87]

That's a good point, maybe Eric would learn how good he actually has it.

[jessec12]

Red might even appreciate Laurie a bit more after spending time with Kelso's siblings!

Or he'd even appreciate Eric more. He did say once that Eric was Einstein in comparison to Kelso.

And I agree that Eric was -- well, maybe not spoiled -- but that he took his home life for granted. We see this in "The Good Son," and Hyde though Hyde outright calls Eric a "spoiled brat," he means that Eric doesn't realize or appreciate how good he has it.

[jessec12]

Whoops, why did I say Red on my post. I meant Eric.

Eric might appreciate Laurie more after spending time with Kelso's siblings!

But if for some reason Red had to spend time with Kelso's siblings, he would appreciate his kids more I bet!

[msstock87]

Red had a low tolerance for Kelso as it is, I can't imagine him being around any of the other Kelso kids!
