Kendra Wilkinson has revealed the only person she is willing to take parenting advice from is her "Celebrity Wife Swap" co-star Kate Gosselin. The "Girls Next Door" star traded places with the mother of eight on the season premiere of the reality show on Tuesday. And while Wilkinson was in for quite a shock going from caring for one child to eight, she tells People magazine that if there's one person she is willing to hear motherhood tips from, it's the "Kate Plus 8" star herself.

She explains, "If there's any person in this world I'm going to take motherly advice from, it's going to be Kate Gosselin. She has eight kids, and she knows what she's doing with them. When she told me advice, I listened. With most people, I'm just like, 'Whatever, whatever, I'm not going to listen to you.' But she's the type I would take advice from."

And for Wilkinson's husband Hank Baskett, dealing with Gosselin as his 'wife' for the week, the former Playboy Playmate reveals he was just trying to get the regimented mom to relax and wind down from her usually hectic lifestyle. Wilkinson says, "Hank was like, 'Just chill, relax. These are our rules.' A woman gets to relax and be free. Kate freaked out because she's so used to working and structure and every minute is by the book. But that's not us, though. We're very laid back. We go with the flow."

 

"Celebrity Wife Swap" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

WOW..Kate is just as obnoxious as always....Kendra may not be mother of the year...but she is who she is and more real than Kate could ever be and just honest and up front..Kate just makes us sick, she'll never change...1st time seeing her kids in a long time and they certainly don't seem like their jumping with joy for happiness....so sad!!

Who better to get advise from, someone as uninteresting and irrelevant as herself.

The whole thing was so fake; especially Kate.  Why would any decent mom leave their child for a whole week to do a stupid show like that?  Kate looks like she spends a lot of time and money at the plastic surgeon, hair salon and tanning bed.  Is that quality time??

Apparently you don't need to be a celebrity or a wife to be considered a Celebrity Wife.
