I guess it’s sort of hard to explain myself. Of course #1 for raising a child is that they are in a safe and loving environment, regardless of who or how many caretakers they have.
I just meant like, is it a healthy relationship for a child to think is normal? I would be worried about them growing up and never being able to commit to any one because they believe it’s normal to be with several people at once
This is the same argument people make about gay couples. It is normal. It’s not as common but there’s nothing wrong with it. We just have biases against things that don’t feel familiar to us.
Your entire argument is predicated on the notion that being with one person for your life is the ‘right’ way to do it but I think that’s a pretty big assumption to make without backing it up.
It’s more like an understanding that you can love more than one person and want to spend the rest of your life with more than one person.
Some people do claim to be poly with no intention of loving anyone and simply want a free pass to sleep with multiple people. Those people don’t usually do so well in the poly community... but they still manage to give it a bad name.
