Only in a poly family.....

[Joleneakamama]

I wanted to share something that just made me and my youngest son laugh. I almost put it in the random comments, then thought that perhaps others might want to share chuckles....or insights.

I am busy in the kitchen churning butter with a blender and our 2 year old little girl painting with watercolors at the table asked "Mama, where'd my mommy go?"

Of course a while ago I enjoyed a 2 week trip to visit our daughter ...with my husband....and her sweet mommy held the home front even with a nasty bug making the rounds and a new calf to feed and new cow to train for milking. She was not alone, and our daughter stepped up and helped with laundry, meals, dishes, and milk processing/butter making too. A trip of that length would not have been enjoyable without ...not just an adult, but a parent at home.

Now back to the butter! This batch will probably be 5 pounds when done.

This place is so much better when you’re around!

This is the sort of practical nuts and bolts advantages to polygamy and by extension more adults in the family that I think would change more minds.
It simply more practical and allows for more infrastructure for the family.
