#4 Evolution of An Ally

#4 Evolution of An Ally (aka Questions people will ask that are opportunities to turn them into allies).

"That's not sustainable long-term though, right? Like, you're only going to settle down with one?"

"How the hell are you going to all live together?"

"Can you really raise a baby? Who's going to be the father? What will the child call the parents?"

Honestly, if they’re asking these questions, you have successfully gotten past the “it’s not cheating?” stage of thought without generating malice, and should give yourself a hearty pat on the back.

My answers are simple: “No; in a really big house; communal parenting will save a helluva lot on nannies and give the kid a lot of attention and growth potential.”

I would love to hear from people who are actually living in polyamorous families, and some of the articles I post will be related to this.

Nonmonogamous individuals: I do not know what your experiences are, but I suspect that your casual partners and family life are generally kept separate. The kid won’t worry if you don’t indicate to them that there is need to, up to a point. I welcome your comments as well, of course.
