Fabulous description Annabel! That's exactly how it works in my family. There is no appreciable difference to my toddler and preschooler between one parent being out for a meeting and that same parent being out for a date. I cannot put my life on hold for 20 years until the kids are grown...

It doesn't give us a lot of time with other people, but it's what we can manage. Thank goodness for instant messaging! I am running a sleep deficit, but as a nursing mother that's so normal to me that I don't notice it much. I'm at home with the kids, so we all nap at nap time. In another year...

I've got two kids under 5. For now my husband and I trade off time taking care of the kids. My youngest still needs me at bedtime, so I don't leave the house until she's asleep, which still gives me a couple of hours to socialize. And every few weekends I take the kids out of the house for a few...

That was my immediate reply when my husband told me. I said "I give her two weeks." :D

We sat down before Thanksgiving and had the big talk. We agreed that from an emotional stand-point it was right for us to break up, but no one wanted to give up our sexual connection. That felt weird, but at the same time made us all happy. Then Thanksgiving travel happened and we didn't see...

Thank you all for the good advice. The three of us are going to sit down tonight and have a good long talk. It will be interesting to see where we end up.

Sorry for the confusion! I think what I was trying to say was that I ought to have set boundaries and rules long ago. We haven't brought up all the petty annoyances with her, and probably ought to have. I'm terrible about handling conflict, and so is DH. Instead of talking to Sia, and setting up...

I think it's time to break up with my girlfriend, but since I haven't broken up with anyone since I was 19, I feel like I ought to handle it better than I did way back then. I was so bad at handling break-ups back then that it took me 5 tries to break up with a guy I'd never been particularly...

I wasn't poly when my toddler was born but I'm hoping to still be part of a trio when the next baby comes. I can tell you, this relationship was given a big assist by my pregnancy hormones. So I hope it lasts past the birth of my daughter. My hopes for our relationship when the baby comes: 1)...

I met my husband in college and our girlfriend through a LARP group.

Very grateful for a wonderful husband who got up early this morning to entertain the toddler, allowing me and our girlfriend to sleep in.

Thank you Magdlyn! I really appreciate getting an outside experienced opinion. This weekend we seem to be working on giving and taking the personal space we all need. Both in nurturing our outside interests and also in working out where every body sleeps. When K sleeps over we need to balance...

Hi folks! I've been reading the forums for about a week but thought I'd finally register so at least the search would work for me. I'm not new to the concept of polyamory (lots of people talked about it when I was in college, and I did spend one summer reading every novel Heinlein ever...
