Three Moms Better than One?

This polygamist mom thinks so.

When we here at Momlogic had the opportunity to talk to Christine, 37, a polygamist mom who has two sister wives and 12 children, we jumped at the chance. And, of course, we videotaped it so you could share in the fun.

Red flags usually start to appear when we hear women like Christine spout off about the benefits of their alternative lifestyle. But when she explained why it was so great to have more than one mom in the house, even we had to admit she had a point. Aren't there some things around the house--like taking out the trash, algebra homework, or scrubbing toilets--that you'd like another mom to deal with? We have a very long list, starting with wiping kids' butts.

Actually, now that we think about it, when can Mom #2 start? Sign us up!

What would you like another mom to do around your house?

No. There is NOTHING about a polygamist lifestyle that appeals to me, especially not the sexual abuse and blatant sexism. I am personally disgusted and offended that Momlogic would try to create humor out of such a sad, disgusting situation, let alone implying that it’s acceptable.

I agree… To a point. I don’t think that polygamy is OK, but I don’t think that my personal opinion should determine how other people talk about it. If they are happy, let them be happy! It’s not for me, but it looks like it works for them!

Being a mom means sacrifices and hard work, even when I don’t want to scrub the toilets or take out the trash but doing it for my family anyway because I love them and want to take care of them. Passing it off to another woman would be like saying my family isn’t worth the sacrifice and that I’d rather have life easy than work for it. It’s a selfish way of passing off responsibility at the detriment of the family.

I personally don’t think I’d ever practice polygamy, but if people want to choose that, I think they should have the right. (Note the key word “choose”—unlike those stuck in the FLDS who have no real choice in the matter.)
However, there’s one thing that always bothers me about this: polygamous relationships are primarily one male, multiple females. I’m not all super-feminist or anything, but for once I’d like to see two males in a polygamous relationship!

What exactly is the difference between leaving your children with a loving and trusted child minder; live -in domestic nanny; grandparent; Godmother AND a polygamist sister wife to pursue ambitious career goals???? What is this logic?? I left my children for many years with a stay-at-home mother, who happened to be a trusted friend, my children adored her. She did not need to be in my husband’s bed every third night to fulfill this role for our family!!!!!!!!!!! Why don’t you give the true reasons i.e. You will be cast out of Heaven by a vicious angry God if you dont allow your husband multiple sexual partners!
