My friend is a children's librarian and she shared this in our polyamory Facebook group

I wont say I don’t like my parent because that’s not biblical but… I wish they would wash their hair dye and stop dating Tod, and also Patricia on weekdays. :(

3 adults in polyamorous relationship declared legal parents by N. L. court | CBC News

Having three parents is not a detriment to the best interests of the child, wrote the judge.

Anyone else out there grow up with polyamorous parents? It'd be nice to feel a little less out of place ya know

Surgery Tomorrow

Leon’s surgery is tomorrow and it’s not sitting right with me at all. I’m upset.

I’m not very scared about the surgery itself. But I feel how I feel about circumcision. It’s not my choice to make. Even my therapist is trying to tell me it’s different but like….

I don’t care about a lisp/speech impediment or that he can’t hold a binky. He can eat fine (idk about food yet, but certainly formula) and tooth decay doesn’t happen that fast

Like even if he went to preschool and felt ostracized and said he wanted it gone… I feel much better about the consent of a preschooler than I do of a baby.

I’m afraid he’s going to look at his baby pictures and feel like his lip was just as unique and good as I do and want to know why I changed his face and I won’t be able to give him a reason because I wasn’t for it

All my partners are for it. Their hearts are in the right place. But I’ve grown up used to being the odd one out and I kind of identify/take pride in that. But we got pregnant together with the goal to raise a baby as a unit. So I’m doing my best to put my trust in their decisions and honor their feelings on it.

But our baby rocks his cleft. I think it gives him character. I’m truly in love with it. My heart is so heavy right now.

This post is mostly compromised of messages to @telegentmess because I don't want to dwell anymore

Leon's cleft lip surgery is tomorrow morning. It does not sit well with me. But his other parents are all for it, so it's happening with a heavy heart on my end.

Happy, screaming Leon!

Hey! Life got very busy! But I'm not going anywhere. I'll always love blogging to keep a record of my life. Since it's been a little while, I'll just make some bullet points to catch everyone up: -Our family has merged with therealezraye & raredevices. The actual lineage of who is romantically/sexually involved with who is kind of blurry but we are all "family". Feel free to send asks and I'll answer them as best I can. We are in a long distance relationship with them, as they have family in NC, Maine, Seattle and us in PA. -Our relationship is currently closed to new people again until we all settle down and everyone is comfortable with the idea of new sexual/romantic partners. -I've been going through extreme mental illness crap. Borderline issues mixed with PTSD mixed with high anxiety and sometimes postpartum. My psych prescribed two PRNs (one for panic attacks and one for psychosis) to help me deal. -Since expanding our family, we've also worked on many underlying issues we have been having amongst ourselves. Now family time is much more prevalent and it's fantastic. -Leon is 4 months old today! He laughs and squeals so loudly all day! He loves his play mat/gym. He can reach for things, grab onto them and put them in his mouth. He blows bubbles and burps on his own. He sleeps through the night. I'm not really breastfeeding anymore, but raredevices does when she's in town. His neck control is a little delayed but we're working on that with tummy time and he's doing much better. I missed you guys! Send me some asks!
