What Parents Need to Know
About Farmer Wants a Wife
Parents need to know that, on the surface, this farm-themed reality dating show seems like a safe family pick. But the farmer's old-fashioned "country" values are quickly eclipsed by sexually charged shenanigans that are too steamy for kids. Over the course of the series, for example, women soap up the shirtless farmer in an outdoor shower and refer to it as being "like a porno." There's also plenty of skin, as well as some kissing between the farmer and his dates -- and some typical reality show cattiness between the contestants.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether the realities of farm life are accurately portrayed on the show and what, if anything, the producers might have done to play up commonly held stereotypes. In terms of the farmhouse, the women are living in, do you think it's been staged for television by a crew of professional decorators? Why or why not? In terms of Matt, the farmer seeking a wife, do you think his intentions are 100 percent genuine? Do you think the prospect of finding true love was his only motivation, or would the chance to be on television equally appealing?

Too much focus on the Christian girls
The party girls like to focus too much negative attention on the Christian girls. I assume they believe that just because you love God you are not suppose to get have a normal life but constantly be looking at the sky. Girls you can stay pure and still have a life without straddling the fence. No one is perfect and these other girls are ruthless and like to call names.. I personally wouldn't have a man that made me work like a dog to "prove" myself and I wouldn't want that image put in my little girls head, that this is what was expected of her. So my kids would defiantly not be watching this without knowing it was a crock..
