Our Children Are Raised By Multiple People | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

I have two wives, Nellie and Jay

Then I have my three children. They love having multiple parents. The experience of becoming a parent to our children

Oh, this is another level of difficulty. We catch a lot of hate

People that'll pop up and be like, oh, this is a sin. Oh, no, I hate it

Oh, take it down, delete it. Oh, you should be ashamed. Do you ever get jealous

I live with my husband and my boyfriend and my boyfriend's wife and together we have four happy

children. Alicia and I originally started swinging. It was just an exciting thing to try. Through that

we were lucky enough to meet our other partners Sean and Taya. We're polyamorous now. We're in a

closed quad. Tyler and I already had two previous children. I found out that I was pregnant with

Barrett before Barrett was born. Taya found out she was pregnant. At first I was a little bit

hesitant to not know who the fathers of Barrett or Carver were

Have you ever personally wondered about it? We're the rebel. Our children have three parents

We're a married couple and we have a girlfriend. Since 2020, we've dated about 60 people

When it comes to our children, we didn't really sit down and have a specific conversation

about mommy and daddy for a year. Probably took about two and a half months before they were like, okay, wait a minute, this is somebody special

We're at Polyquad with three children. Do you like having three moms, right

No. The negative feedback we get is people have like an expiration date on our relationship

My sister took a little bit of an issue. How do you feel about kindness during the relationship

We are at Polyamorous Triad. Me and Emily, we met in 2010

We've been together ever since. We've been married for five years. We had already, I guess you could say, had encounters with other women

but they weren't looking for a relationship at that time. But we realized that we didn't want to keep inviting different people into our life like that

So we ended up, I guess you could say, trying it out with someone. And we liked that dynamic better

About two years ago, we met Ali. It was the 4th of July, I guess you could say cookout

We started to, like, really hang out a lot after that, and then it kind of just gradually turned into something

It wasn't something planned. We kind of just all came together. Here we are now, over two years later

I biologically don't have any children. When I first met Trell, I knew that he already had Lele

We call her Lele, but Aaliyah is her name. We met about a year after she was born

and then now we have our new baby, Rain. Emily had, you know, her issues with it at first

It happened so abruptly, it was so fast. It was a shock. It was like, we're with Ali, and it's like, here's rain

Like, you know. Yeah, it was quick, it was quick. Very fast

We had some people contacting her, like, did they just get with you so you can have a baby for them, or are you a surrogate

Yeah, they thought I was a surrogate. Yeah, and it was like, yo, like, no. No

That's one of the worst things you could say as far as to her because. Sorry

You know what I'm saying? It's like she deals with, you know, issues in that area

So we've all been working on that. I don't want them to add this part

It's okay. It's real, you know, but at the end of the day, it just was a very, it's insulting

I even have to explain to friends like, you know, when they're like, when are you going to have a kid

It's such a like common question because we've been together so long. but it's like a jab like every time

Some people try to test our relationship and cause little triggers but we're unbreakable honestly

I eventually would like to have a child so, eventually we'll get there

But it's just something that has to be planned, you know? Mmm, yummy

Baby Rain is being raised by me and Emily so she has two mothers which is pretty lucky of her

So she calls them both mom and mom. She already calls Emily mom and as well me

We'll definitely let her know that Allie is her biological mother as far as, you know, she gave birth to her

But we're raising her together and nobody loves her any less. You were talking about your baby sister

Oh my God, I couldn't even believe that. She's actually like there

She's just crazy now. Lily is very open about it. She's happy about it

She loves Allie. Allie loves her. I think it's because in the beginning, we didn't, like, sit her down, like, okay, this is what's going to happen

It was more so... She kind of just figured it out. Yeah, it was more so, like, we were living her life, and it was just, like, this is Ali

She just saw that it was organic. How do you feel about all of this

I appreciate it. I don't care. You told me somebody asked you something about it, and you said, uh..

It was the kid when we went to that one pool party on 4th of July. It was 4th of July

Oh, yeah, what happened? What happened? She's like, oh, is that your mom

I was like, yeah. She's like, well, is that your dad? He was like, yeah

And he was like, why is your dad hugging her? I was like, because they're all dating

She was like, how? I was like, you asked me. I don't want to talk about this

Did you lose any friends when you became part of their relationship? I did

I lost a handful of friends when I came into the relationship. I didn't lose any friends at all

I guess that's the thing about being a guy. It's like they always assume something is cool

but they don't even want to really know why you're the way you are. They just assume like, oh, you a dude

You got multiple girls. You cool. It's like, yeah, it's cool, but it's also a challenge

Some people just assume that we're just an open relationship. Yo. What up, bro

All right, man. What's going on? I have friends that don't understand

It's not like they're against it. They just still don't quite understand the dynamic

Like, we're all together, not just there with me. What did you think the first time Terrell told you about being in a poly relationship

I was impressed. I was like, man, I don't know how you do it. One is enough

People don't understand what our lifestyle is. They just see two women and one man. They think it's just party, party, big, turn up

And that's part of it. But that's not the whole thing. That's a small fraction of what it really is, man

It's an actual relationship. It's work, man. A lot of it, too

If your friends and your spouses enjoy each other as far as, like, friendship, brotherhood, sisterhood

you can go far with that, man. You got your squad, you know what I'm saying? What's the best thing about the poly relationship

That we all get to be together. That's true. It's so many different personalities, you know, and then on top of that, we're three different ethnicities

so we get to share our cultures together. Oh, yeah, food is the best

Food is crazy, right? Finance, too. Oh, that, too. Three incomes. That doesn't hurt

You still have to go through, like, trials and tribulations. Putting your emotions in things can wear you out

So don't give up. In these dynamics, they do take longer to really find

It's easier to find one person, but it's harder to have two. So definitely patience is a big thing, for sure

We have a family to raise We have bigger things to focus on It deeper than just us being together at this point Alright y

Alright y'all. It is a wrap. We're a married couple and we have a girlfriend

So I have this guy, he thinks that he's our kind of ideal and the one is impossible to find

I became a dating coach 18 years ago as an accident. There are only five skills you need for a woman to find you more attractive

I actually got voted the number one dating coach in the world three years in a row. His detail list is so detailed

What are you telling him? Well, I'm telling him to revise his list a little bit, basically

We've been running the company together. We've helped over 350,000 people in the world get their ideal relationship

Once he applies this, he will never have a problem with dating ever again

How have you personally applied your knowledge as dating coaches to your own dating lives

I know this stuff inside and out, and it is impossible to be in a relationship and not apply it

In our relationship, we have our dynamic, my dynamic with our partner, Eve's dynamic with our partner, and then our dynamic all together

So it's a lot more communication. So you just have to welcome a lot of very uncomfortable discussions that lead to wonderful results

All in the home with my life. Nice. We've been together for 10 years, almost 11 years

When we first met at Austin Fashion Week, I was in a relationship with another woman

And she actually saw Eve first and said, oh my gosh, I have to date that woman

And so I went up and said hi. I didn't really specifically was seeking for Poliana's relationship per se

I was going with the flow. But over time, it developed into a real relationship

And the three of us ended up living together. For six years, we had children together

She's still one of our incredibly good friends. But the relationship part of it has fallen aside and turned into more of a friendship

And that happened a few years ago now. And since then, me and Eve have continued that lifestyle and dating other people

We have five kids. Oliver, Dante, Orion, Ivy, and Dory. Our parenting styles, I would say, pretty standard actually

I'm more of a strict parent than he is. I would say I'm the bad cop. He's a good cop

We homeschool our kids because we believe that standard education is a bit too rigid and not very flexible

We spend every day with our children, but they have chores they have to complete in the morning

They're all very advanced, but they're also social. Our eldest son, at 14, we have spoken to him about people and relationships

He knows there is monogamy. He knows there is polyamory. Could you explain what polyamory is

uh polyamory is dating multiple people at the same time when did your parents explain to you

about their dating life and their polyamorous relationship they didn't really need to explain

to me that they were polyamorous i kind of figured it out after a while and they did tell me at a

certain point but i just realized that my dad dated multiple people and that was just normal to me

when it comes to our children we didn't really sit down and have a specific conversation about

mommy and daddy boy humorous so for them we're just not a friend basically right until about

like six months because we want to see how the children interact with the person we're dating

as well before we get serious with anybody like and that's important have you met many of your

parents partners uh we do get to meet them after a while but not until they feel comfortable

with making sure that it'll be okay for them to meet us

In the last four years, despite the fact that we've dated 60 people, there's really only been three that have actually interacted with the kids

more than at a group setting. When I talk to my friends about Bella

I usually do bring up the fact that she is my parents' partner. Hi, hon

Hi! Good to meet you! Romantically, we've been together since January, so a couple of months, but I've known them for years

There was this really awkward moment where I thought Bella really wanted me and maybe didn't really want Eve

Bella broke it to me that actually she preferred Eve and wasn't really into me

And she's like, you're okay. She's like, Eve's like a perfect 10 and you're like a 6

And that's accurate numbers. I hadn't really been in a relationship with three people or two other people before

It's still like a learning progress type of thing. Since 2020, we have dated about 60 people, give or take

We have definitely dated more than one person at a time, but the dynamic tends to work best when we have the throttle

Everything else is fun, wild time. I don't define any specific rigid rules

It's just a relationship that you make work. By your own rules

Family is super accepting. Friends, mostly accepting. The friends that aren't accepting have gone

Yeah, they're not friends, right? Again, why would I live my life according to someone else's standards, right

It's my life. That's why strangers, we get all kinds of reactions. Some people are very supportive and ethical of questions

They're the same, which, you know, I answer at the time. And some, of course, are very detrimental, right

And tell me that I have no self-esteem or no value. We absolutely have people try telling us that our lifestyle is going to have some kind of negative impact on our children

I don't believe our dating life impacts our children in any major way

other than to help them be more tolerant and open to other ideals

Are we the best parents in the world? Probably not. Yes, we are. Probably

Our children don't get confused about our dating life, because we don't make our children part of our dating life

I think a lot of people in the sense of our dating life think we will just live in a big compound

and we have a lot of f*** in front of our kids. So the biggest misconception is that we are too promiscuous and we're damaging our children, basically, which is not against my members

Yeah, I think that's true. That's a massive misconception for us. How did you feel when Adam and Eve told you that they had five children

I was definitely a little overwhelmed at first, but getting to know them, they're so wonderful, they're so cute, and they're so funny

My age kind of does help me connect with them on levels that they might not

I definitely still have a lot more, I don't want to say energy. You guys still have a lot of energy

Just throw me in the face. She's in her 20s. I'm like 80

I mean, you're almost there. Let me go adult. I double check. Good job

And making a bag. What are y'all baking today? We're baking two cakes, a lemon one and a chocolate one

That's how they met her, was as a friend. And of course, when she was hanging out, she started baking with them

and they pretty much fell in love with her. As our relationship developed, they really just knew Bella as a friend that came over

And it probably took about two months to an hour a month before they were like, okay, wait a minute

Like, this is somebody special. Push in and pull. There we go. Good job

She'll teach me so much that I'm able to do eggs now

What does it mean to you to see your children and girlfriend bonding like this? Very, very special

of course. It's for me the most important part. Our kids like her and she just fits really well The best thing about being in a poly relationship is that again you make it your own rules It like you have your cake and eat If my children grow up to be happy wonderful people that all I really care about

I just need them to be happy and to be as successful as they want to be in their own world

I'm Legend. I'm Cheetah. I'm Mayna. And we're the Rebels. Our children have three parents

Right, our first name. Legend, she's like a super diva. She's super girly

She's a cat. Aries, she's like more calm and laid back. She's super empathetic

She's super empathetic. How old are you? 10. If you put their names together, it's Legend Aries

Yeah. All right. Good job. The twins refer to me as Mommy Maya

The twins refer to me as Mommy Chena. The twins refer to me as Daddy

First to start off as a joke. Their moms call me Daddy. Usually if kids hear you say somebody's name a lot

they're going to be like, hey, Daddy. So we kept it. How many sides

I think the girls love the dynamic simply because they have so much love

Good job. The reason that we chose to homeschool them, one, because there's a lot going on

in the schools right now. Yeah. And two, I feel like there's a lot that they're missing in schools that they could be taught at home

Duh-duh, little you. When Maya and I first met, she slid in my DMs

Now we're together nine years later. We first decided to open our marriage about four years before Chena came along

Fun fact, I've known her longer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Me and her were friends for years before we started dating. And she knew us when

I started dating mine. So I think we had stopped talking for about six years. She went away to

school, lived her life, dated ugly girls. And then she ended up seeing us on Instagram

and she slid in the DMs and was like, hey, how are you guys? You're poly now. And I was like, yes, I am

The twins were one and a half when I came in. I met them in May of 2020

I was not familiarized with polyamory at all. I was very monogamous

When I got married to Shaina, it was not only out of love, but it was for a very legal reason

It's so that she could have step-parent rights to our kids. So that if anything ever happened to me and Maya, that she would not have to fight the court system

When they got married, I was the witness. I'm the one that was there when the papers were signed

and the words were said. When did we start having more of an online presence

I feel like we started having a big online presence during COVID. Yes. We were all locked in the house

Everyone was locked in the house. What are we going to do? And it kind of grew us on TikTok

Three lesbians, you know, one bed. One bed. We get a lot of responses to our content

The hate around the kids is a big one. that our children are going to grow up gay, right

They're like, you're making the kids gay. You're confusing the kids. And I was like, these kids are not confused

They're highly intelligent children. Someone on this comment that's judging my family

who knows nothing about how smart and beautiful and loving my kids are

When people say, oh, you're just going to make your kids gay, I said, that's okay. Because it's okay to be gay

It's nothing wrong with being gay. Like, there's nothing wrong with being gay

There's nothing wrong with being straight. There's nothing wrong with being bi or pan. Whatever my kids want to be, at the end of the day, no one can make you do anything

How we can even have kids. So that one's still... Yeah, someone said they're lesbians

How can they be mothers? Like, that one is still... I'm like, Google. What

I think Google it. We have experienced judgment with our relationship dynamic

Just because they disagree with it, they feel like they have to say something negative. we don't see too many people of color that are polyamorous relationships

It's like a very cultural stigma around it. I think it also circles back around to a lot of black women that are competing with each other too

Oh yeah. People are like, these are your sister wives? I was like, please don't call them that. It's not just one solid person at the top with multiple wives

Their relationship is just as important as our relationship or me and Maya's relationship

So it's like four little relationships in a big bubble. and then we still gotta maintain a relationship with our kids

Exactly. The positive comments and the positive DMs and how you're changing other people's lives

it kind of outweighs the bad. Goals, it's beautiful how you love each other

Even though we do get a lot of hate, people also love to see us all together

When we're out in public, we get a lot of strange reactions. Or like when people think that you're like cheating or something

I had that happen where a lady in a grocery store, I gave Maya a kiss and my parents go grab something

and then she walked up and I gave her a kiss and this lady was like, how dare you? You need to be ashamed of yourself

You, ma'am, you need to find someone else because she's cheating on you

I was like... One of the key things to make this family work is patience

A lot of talking. A lot of talking. I also feel like being open-minded

is also another key factor of being in a polyamorous relationship. All right, guys, it's time to go

Okay, we're coming. Legend, Aries. You got the key. You got the key

Hold the beam, sir. We have the key, Freddie. Okay. Okay. Today I have an appointment at the fertility clinic

because we are trying to have another baby. The doctor will go through results

and tell me everything I need to know and give me a schedule, Oh, my timeline. Good, how are you

I'm super excited. Yeah, something we've been wanting to do for a while

Like the girls are almost five and we tried to do it sooner and it was unsuccessful

So we're hoping that this time we can have more family. We've all had a conversation about it

Maya carried the girls and I never got to carry a child

So we decided that I would carry this time. And it's something that would be great, you know, to experience

I've always wanted to do it. I want her to experience what I experienced because I know how she feels about wanting to have babies because I felt the same way

The immediate next steps that we're going to undertake. You're going to start concentrating on the diet changes

Then the process of IVF is going to get started. Okay. We're really excited to expand our family

And I love Dr. Littman. She produced these lovely baby girls right here

So I know that it will be great. Here are all of your prescriptions. Okay

See you in a couple weeks. All right. All right. Bye, guys

Hey, girls. How was your nap? Guess what tonight is? The Pride Parade

You want to go to the parade? Yeah? Okay, we got to get dressed. The buttons go in the back

Okay. Thank you for telling me. It important for us to take the girls to the pride parade just so that they can see more inclusion seeing families that may look like us and just be open overall

Some of the best things about being in this sort of dynamic is always having someone to talk to

It's always a part. Yeah, like constantly supported. I feel like the best part is that you're always learning something new every day

Every day. We got trolls out there saying that we're making our children gay

Welcome to our big polyamorous family. I live with my husband and my boyfriend and my boyfriend's wife

and together we have four happy children. We're just a normal family like anybody else, except that there's more of us

We're lucky enough to find a house with two masters. There's one master on each side of the house and then a baby's room across from each master

And then the two big kids rooms are actually downstairs. This is mine and my husband Sean's room

He keeps the majority of his stuff in here. But he and Tyler actually rotate rooms every other night

Yeah, it was a little weird at first just not sleeping in my own bed. But now it's like I get to have a sleepover every night

Part of our nighttime routine is, do you switch pillows? No. Ugh

You gotta go every night. Every night. Alicia and I originally started swinging. It was just an exciting thing to try

And through that, we were lucky enough to meet our other partners, Sean and Taya. We don't consider ourselves swingers anymore. That's how we met, but we're polyamorous now

We're in a closed quad. We don't date other people anymore. None of us were polyamorous before we found each other

I think actually it was Taya that sent the first thing saying, this is us, this is polyamorous

And we're like, yeah, that's right, that's who we are. When we started talking, we met like that very next week and we just wanted to see more and more of each other

We were making plans for the following weekend before we had even left and then again that next weekend

And I always like to say that once we started talking, we just never stopped. Taya and I were living in Portland at the time, so we were driving an hour and a half down here to see them almost every weekend

Alicia and I were looking at buying a house in the country where we'd have some room for the horses and it just made sense to find a house that would work for all of us

Tyler and I already had two previous children. I always wanted a third, but it was very difficult to make that decision when there was just two of us

What happens when you have a mad cow and a mad sheep? What happens with them

I don't know. They're... Huh? Me? No, they're in a bad mood

I found out that I was pregnant with Barrett and we were all pretty excited

About a month before Barrett was born, Taya found out she was pregnant

So we weren't regulating who got pregnant, we were just trying in general

I think that we immediately agreed that we didn't want to know who the dad was. who the dad was. It wasn't important to us. We're raising them as all of ours

anyway so it doesn't matter who the father is. Good thing we do all our shopping at Costco

Your baby, my kid. What do you like about living as one big family

There's more parents and it's more fun because I have more people to play with

Okay, good? Okay. At first I was a little bit hesitant to not know who the fathers of Barrett or Carver were

just because I was worried that Dylan and Rayna were going to ask questions and I didn't

want to hide anything from them. But after talking it through with the other adults in our family and realizing we can have

that conversation when it comes up. You're going to try and pull yourself up as much as you can, okay

Have you ever personally wondered about it? Sure, I've wondered about it, but I see Sean as a wonderful daddy to the babies

and I see Tyler as a wonderful dad to them, and that's all that really matters

Pull the whole camera. and close friends or fond when you told them

We've kind of had a mixed bag of experiences with that. We had some people in our lives who right away were like, that's great

We had some people who were cautious at first or hesitant or had some reservations

And a lot of people make it about them, about how does it affect us

It doesn't affect you. At the end of the day, it doesn't affect you. We're just telling you because you're part of our lives

and everyone has their choices to either be part of it or not. A lot of people's initial questions or comments or reactions are

oh, I can never do that, I'm too jealous. We say, it's okay, we're not asking you to do it

We're not trying to convince anybody else to live this lifestyle. We're just letting you know that this is what our choice is

The more that you talk to them and educate them, the more accepting they can be

When we're out in public, people don't really think twice about us

because we present as just two cis-hetero-monogamous couples who look like any other couples that are hanging out together

unless they're really paying attention and see, oh, well, he was holding Taya's hand and then he gave Alicia a kiss

Sometimes people will do a double take. People who share their concerns about the kids

And, you know, when we're educating them, polyamory is not about sex

It's about relationship dynamics and loving more than one person. We're definitely not teaching them polyamory

We're teaching them that they can love whoever they want and however many people they want, you know, in a consensual way

I think that having four parents does make us all better parents

because you get the other side of what you're not normally accustomed to. I do have older kids, and I parented it a certain way

And they had Dylan and Randy before we got there, and they parented it a certain way. So you get to see both sides of how people parent

And so it makes you more, I feel it makes you more rounded parent for sure

We didn't start this because we were missing something. We realized that we could add something to our lives

There's no way we could have made it to where we're at now without a lot of honest, open

sometimes really hard communication, you know, talking about what we wanted, the fact that we wanted this to be a romantic relationship

how we balance these things and make sure that our existing partners feel

the love that we still have for them. As long as we're happy, we're gonna stay together. Hi

Wait for the camera. I cook most of the meals, but every once in a while

Nellie will, you know, she'll jump in there and try to do a little something

Whip it up. My name is Pandora Monroe. Everyone that knows me in personal life

I am known as Slim. So, I have two wives, and both of them are

it's never like a competition thing They love each other and they're best friends

Give me a high five! Oh. What did they do? I thought they..

My name is Nelly. My name is Jay. And we are sister wives

Alright, let's give it to the brother. At home, it's me, of course, and Nelly and Jay

Then I have my three children. We have Maya, she's 13. We have Kai, he's 9

And then we have baby boy Mason, and he's 3 years old. Hey, buddy

I first met Nelly in 2015. and I first met Jay in 2016

so it was about a year after. I'll do the lasagna and I'll do the salmon

But y'all figured out how to do salmon at this point. Did I

Nelly and I were in a monogamous relationship and it was a little rocky in the beginning

because of course we both were young and we decided we were gonna take a break

and then when it came down to getting back together, I was also, another person was interested in me

and I couldn't choose between the two. So, but that partner at the time, it just didn't work out

So we got back out there because Nelly loved having a sister wife

and I loved having another partner. We started it up with Jay and we've been smooth sailing ever since

Nelly, you've mastered like four meals. Yeah! Okay. You got spaghetti. Spaghetti for sure

Baked chicken. For sure. Tacos. Tacos. For sure. Do you ever get jealous

No. How I think of my wife, I don't think of her as a possession or my property

So she's not mine to hold all the time. And there's time where she don't even want to deal with both of us

Wait, does tacos and nachos count as two different things? Because I feel like that's one

It's one. You've mastered three meals. We have a calendar for dates and stuff like that that we already plan ahead of time

And we communicate when we want to spend just personal times, one-on-one times with her

It's just like the way that our life is set up, it's like we all have our time

So we get what we need, so there's no room for anyone to be jealous

When it comes down to the kids, they look at Nellie and Jay as father figures, not as other mothers

I'm the mom, and they're the dads. The experience of becoming a parent to our children

Come here, baby. Real quick. Like now I'm the parent, you'll just come over here and I'll just watch you for my brother for a couple of hours and they come back for you

So it was a very great learning experience and I'm still learning. But I love it

We figure out our household daily as a whole and a team and we get it done

We're like a buffet for them. And you know how like you got two parents, so you go to one parent they say no

You go to the other parent they might say yes. They got three chances with that now

Unless they get caught. Let's make it cool! Ty, dinner! Tell me about the best things about having three minutes

The best things are probably always having someone to talk to, always having someone who can be there even when they're busy with the other kids

I call them Nelly and Jay, but like on special occasions, or if I'm being funny or something, I'll be like

I'll call Nelly and be like, Papa, I need something! Or like Jay, I'll call her dad

Yep, right here. So which one is this? Alright, so we're gonna do one of our traditional signature, as we call it, our signature videos

Basically doing a reveal of my two wives because of course I get that question a lot

Alright, let me see y'all slides so I can know. Let me see y'all a little skim, yeah, so I can

Alright, babe. Of course, here we go again. I get this question again

So for the newcomers and for the people in the back yes I do have two wives Ta

Nope, you already two wives! Oh, opinions, opinions, opinions. We catch a lot

We catch a lot of hate. We catch a lot of judgment. We get a lot of people saying

oh, you just want your cake and eat it too. You need to choose between them

We definitely get, oh, you must love one more than the other. Of course, we did get from some family members that we did get the, you know, the eyebrow raise or the, is this really what you're doing

When we post something, and it's always like, oh my God, I love you guys

Oh, I love you. I love you. And then we get the couple of people that'll pop up and be like, oh, this is a sin

It's like this. We got the love up here, and then we got the haters right here

But we always say the haters don't got a wristband, so. Three, two, one

Go shoot. Boop. They gon' love this. Can I just take your shoes off

I am, baby. Today we have our family photo shoot. We do one each year

We just have to capture these moments as much as possible. Sometimes you just want to get that print, the print photo

We can blow it up and change it out, put it over the fireplace, and we got those memories

Hello, hello. What's up? Family photo time. Let's go. All right, y'all ready? Yes

Let's do this. Y'all just change it up, all right

Love it. Say cheese. Say cheese. Look at me. Look at me

Is that? Look at her, say beep beep. Beep beep. Okay. I love that

I mean, me and Kyle was looking a fool right there. You know what? Oh

This one? Oh, yep. I think we got it. I think we got it

This was definitely a success. All of us have different personalities and you can really see it in all the pictures

And then even down to Maya at the end, And she's just modeling it up and everything

I think it's important to capture the moment as they're here, because you never know

You never know. And as we get older, we just, we gotta look back on these memories

and this is my family. So a successful photo session. Why you whoppin' me

Let's go. On three, we say Monroe's. One, two, three. Monroe's. Let's go

Let's go. I really just want everybody to know that you don't have to live the same relationship as this person

You don't have to have the same family dynamics as this person. And you still can be okay. And everybody can still be happy

As long as there's no one hurting anybody. Then you can just, you can be happy being yourself

I have two wives and our kids love it. Yay! You did it

Hey, hey, hey! What's up, everybody? So check this out. A lot has changed in our lives since the last time we saw you

We are a polyamorous triad. We met Ali, and we've been together now for two years

Okay, okay. So as you guys know from the last episode, this is my wife, Ali

This is my wife, Emily. Of course, she remembers Rain. And this is baby Chicago

She's two months old, so, you know, everybody say hello. Lili's biological mom was very supportive

She's always been there. She's a great mother. We raised our daughter to be an amazing child, 16 years old

And also we have a new addition to the family Hey guys this is Kylie Show some love now Here baby How does life feel different since Kylie joined your family

Life has been easier, I'd say. She's definitely another helping hand. She's Rain's favorite by far

She forgot all about us since Kylie's been here. We wasn't looking for another person to join our relationship

It just naturally happened that way. When we met her, she just had a different energy

We were stuck like glue. You were saying this is the first time you've been in a multi-partner relationship

I've always been an open person, so this isn't far out of my scope

It's something I definitely was open to. It just happens to be my first time being in a multi-partner relationship

Kind of through mutual friends, we were around each other. and then, uh, I just ended up going. Yeah

And then you stayed. We stole you. We stole you from the world

It was like an organic thing. It wasn't like, will you be my girlfriend

Or will you be our girlfriend? Yeah. It was more so like you came and then you just never left

So Trell and I are married. We're not yet married to Ali and Kylie yet

It's just about the proper timing, you know? Every woman deserves the proper proposal, I would say

We do not sleep separately. That's not our dynamic. We're literally just like piled onto the bed

Sardines. Were you worried about how the kids would react when Kylie joined the family

I think our oldest daughter had a little time adjusting to it. Because all she's known is Emily and Allie

Now they like this. Do you like having three moms thing? No

No? Well, she always says. Yeah. She always says two moms. Kylie's newer to this situation. Yeah

And she definitely looks at Kylie like a parent figure. She loves and enjoys Kylie, but she's still new to that situation

So she still says two moms. You got the seatbelt? Yep. Society tends to think of poly relationships as inappropriate for children, but that's not the case

They are not in our love life. They are in our life as far as we take care of them, we provide for them, and we love them

So that's all they know. All they know is they got more love in the house

Allie is Chicago's biological mom. Emily is, like, you know, her mom as well, so she does the mom duties

I help with Chicago as well. We all take care of Chicago

Everybody is here to make sure the children are being well taken care of. I don't know how single moms do it, because even when it was just like me and Allie, we're still tired

If I just get a little bit of a power nap for a few hours, I'll get back up and she'll go back to sleep

So we kind of just alternate and Kylie kind of just comes in when we need her outside of what we're doing

How many more children would we like to have together? We don't have a number, but that's just more of a natural thing

If something progresses and it happens, it happens. I would say one of the challenges of being in a polyquad, sometimes dating

just like any other group of people, we have to align our schedules with each other

to be able to spend that quality time. And then we have to get the kids in order

and stuff like that. And then, of course, sometimes, you know, if we all go out as a group

I'm out with three beautiful women, right? Who in the hell is going to assume they're all mine

That's true. Like, it's not like that's a normal thing you come across. We always get the

yo, yo, who is shorty? Which one? Which one is it? And then they think I'm hating

They think I'm hating. They be like, nah, you trying to claim them all

They not like, bro, these really my ladies. I'm in a real relationship. So sometimes they don realize until they know us They like oh this is real They really together Or we bring up the Instagram Look I would say the negative feedback that we get is people have like an expiration date on our relationship

So I feel like a lot of people go, oh, that's cute. It's not going to last

No, none of them should procreate. Okay, if we love each other and we have a family and we're building a family, what does that have to do with you

Like, why do you have an opinion on other people's families? You know what I mean? So I think that's just people just projecting their..

It's ignorant, pretty much. He's a pimp. One of his girls needs to give him an offspring

New age nonsense. So let me make this clear. The person that comment there has no sense

Because this is the thing. If I was a pimp, why would I be trying to have a joke

Right. Yeah, that makes no sense. I don't know what pimp is for most of them

No, it will screw the kids up. They said that six years ago

Just living proof. They probably will say it again. They need to focus on raising their own children

It's a blessing to have multiple people in the home that's caring for you. Have any of you lost any friends or family along the way

I personally have lost a couple friends due to the relationship just because of their own personal opinion on it

And for me, then, good riddance. It's like, if you can't accept how I choose to live my life and love the people that I love, then you don't need to be in love

If you love one person and that's what you want to do with your life, we completely support that

We love that for you. It's just not for us. It's not what we want to do

We don't shame the knowledge of these people. We love love, period. So if you love one person, if you love 10, that's your business

If you have multiple kids, you're not going to love one child. There we go. Yo, what up, sister

My sister Essence took a little bit of an issue only because she spoiled

So she likes her brother to be focused on her for the most part

I've been meaning to ask you, you know, how do you feel about me being in a poly relationship

I don't think I ever actually asked you that question. It'd be like my only little dynamic through it is the sharing part, but that's been since

I was little. But I feel like it takes a village, so it doesn't really like affect me in no way

Or do I feel like it affects my nieces? So it's like, it's a good thing for me

It's just heavy on the sharing part. No, that's real. And then, you know, you a mother

How do you feel about being poly? Do you think it impacts children negatively

No, I think being poly is like, it is what you make it. A parent is a parent

It don't matter how many parents it is. Rain gets to go to school, she can teach the other kids. Like, this don't affect me at all

I just know I'm getting loved by multiple people. That's it. I appreciate that, sis

Go, go, go. I think that the polyamorous parenting is taboo because nobody really sees it

Even if they see it like on social media and stuff, like it's not something like they know personally

We just wanna keep building, keep doing content. Growing. I know that's our goal

Everything, you know, they say, oh, you guys weren't gonna last. This is just temporary love

And look at us now, six years later. Now in a new relationship, a great relationship with Kylie

They say that it takes a little bit to raise a kid

Well this is my kid. Yeah. Okay. Her crazy self. Wow, she got that time break

We know the future for us will be everything we dream of and imagine

Thank you
