I’m in the market for books that normalize poly parenting. I have the Red Stroller for normalizing different family types (eg. single parent, gay, interracial).

My child’s other parent (separated) is very conservative and my family is too. I’m not trying to “push” poly, but prepare my kid mentally/emotionally if people say shit about me. I still have several years before I would need to come out.

      Poly is about more than sex.

      Ethical non monogamy is uncommon so there are very few cultural signposts about it. It’s reasonable to want to see yourself or your situation reflected in media. Some families have multiple adults in loving relationships simultaneously.

      isn’t the reason to explain why the kid might have multiple parents in comparison to other children? (sort of like how some children might have only 2 dads, 2 moms, or 2 nonbinary parents) (ah derp they already mentioned this in their post lol)

      based on the post it doesn’t seem like their intention is to talk about their sex life as you say, that just sounds off and real bizarre
