He, the spouses, and the children function much like a "regular" one husband and one wife family. They concentrate on the success of the family unit. Having a quality home life, careers, stability, and a great deal of love. They seem to be just as "normal" as anyone in the community. If you are going to maintain a multi-partner family unit, do it right. Function as a family. Act like a family. Build strong and productive kids and relationships. Just be ready to catch hell from the vanilla world. If your kids turn out to be law abiding and productive members of our society, we will know that you were successful. If they turn out to be criminals, drug addicts, or mentally unstable, possibly, you did a poor job. |
This is in fact the poly forum and even if it wasn't I am curious as to why you would feel justified in your tone with your post. It's true that parents should be ultimately responsible for raising a happy, healthy well adjusted child(ren) but realize please that there are also other facts in play when raising a family.......and that would be the outside influences of life in general and dealing with people who are rude, full of sarcasm, narrowminded and generally negative people have a much larger impact on our children as well. Heaven forbid they be schooled by people with this degree of sarcasm on a daily basis................
You aren't a school teacher are you?
We appreciate that what others offer as suggestions for themselves may not be within your comfort zone but please do not bash what works for others. As for having the children on the trip, nobody mention a sexual orgy, you made that assumption on your own......we are strickly talking a vacation here.......not everything in life is about sex.........
Avid, It sounds like a wonderful time - wish we were going to be there too! A little R&R in the sun is just what the doctor ordered........have fun.
