Do you think your family has what it takes to be a reality television sensation?

If so, one casting company working for a major cable network has put out a call for local families to star in a new show about various parenting styles.

"I am looking for siblings in the NJ area who have different approaches to parenting to participate in a fun, family-friendly show for a major cable network, said casting director Nicole Plesset. "For instance, one sibling may be a strict disciplinarian while the other is a free spirit-type parent."

The show — tentatively titled "My Kids" — will explore the different parenting styles and for one day, the siblings will switch places and spend time with their nieces and nephews, Plesset said. 

She's looking for families with kids between the ages of 4 and 16.

The show will film for approximately three days — likely for a weekend — and both families will be compensated. 

Plesset and True Entertainment, the production company for the project were tight-lipped about which "major cable network" would air the reality show.
