It isnt revolutionary, but it is good that there is an alternative to monogamy, and dating multiple people makes it easier to survive under capitalism in a lot of cases.
I just remembered a thread where people were being kind of shit about it and felt the need to post
Multiamory podcast I'll check this out. I don't mind reading tbh but I can't sit down for long to read since short attention span and busy. But yeah I remember a book that was interesting called here's looking at Euclid. It mentioned that in these small isolated tribes people didn't really count how many kids they had just that the kids were everyone's kids. The phrase it takes a village comes to mind. I'd be down for helping to raise kids too just as long as we all clear on rules like discipline and rewards for the kids if that makes sense. I don't want to undermine anyone or be undermined in my authority.
Yeah definitely. Opening that kind of stuff up into a more social space means moving to more social approach to our kid' discipline, diet, media content, etc. with some agreements in place. Although it's not like this doesn't happen anyway - grandparents are notorious for spoiling kids behind the rents' back.
Remember a boomer music teacher saying they spoil the grandkids to get back at their own kids, joking yes but not really.
