The challenges faced by a hard-working mum and dad of ten are due to be highlighted on the Channel 4 show Wife Swap.
Lee Hamlin and Emma Payne, of Stanhope Street, Bramley Vale, will be appearing on the controversial programme this weekend.
Mr Hamlin said: "We're looking forward to it and even though I'm not too happy about the way it's been edited the experience made me really appreciate everything Emma does."
The couple, aged in their mid-30s, teamed up with Darren and Sam Zendel-Ellis, of Warwickshire, and their three children and the women swapped places during the reality TV show.
But it's Lee and Emma's busy lifestyle and how they overcome the challenges of raising their children that is expected to wow viewers.
The couple's daily routine involves a 6am start or earlier depending on nine-month-old baby daughter Charley with a wake-up call for all and breakfast for 12.
Emma walks four of the youngest to nursery and school and once the house is cleared Lee has a small time gap to do house work, shopping, bills and chores before the couple prepare lunch and tea.
The self-employed businessman, who hopes to start his own carpet-cleaning firm, added: "We're so knackered by the time we get everyone off to bed we're not far behind them but the kids are very good and we wouldn't change our lives for anything."
Lee, Emma and their children Mitchell, Mason, Jordan, Shannon, Callum, Dillon, Ellie, Fallon, Alfie and Charley will appear on the show from 8pm, on Sunday.
