The One Twue Way they told you is the Only way. Just kidding. There’s no “right” way- it’s just what suits you and what gets you what you want.
But if you’d like to know how at least one kinky, poly parent does it, well, here’s the place for you! (Spoilers, it’s a lot more fun than you’ll see almost anywhere else!)
Breathing, deep breaths What I have with my little ones though they’d hate to be called that now, but they always will be to me Is precious, rare More-so than some ordinary diamond I am their “ama” now We celebrated together, muted, perhaps, but sincere A beautiful memory of an evening I earned that Something …

I read an article today about a mother who missed the days when she did not yet have children. Some will say that is just a passing phase. Others that they would never, ever feel that way. I wondered how many of them had ever met a child, let alone raised one. You will miss …

Summer’s faded into autumn. It’s my favorite time of the year. Pretty sweaters, cozy lazy dresses and brisk, cool weather. It’s the end of the watermelon season.
Something unpleasant happened this morning when I went to wake the youngest up for school. I’m not going to go into details, not here. She didn’t want to get up. I pushed, little one pushed back…and she said some pretty hurtful things. The child brain in me wanted to respond in anger, but I didn’t. …

I don’t always want to stay. I am a kitten, and a kitten can often be skittish. A kitten wants to be loved, yes, but doesn’t always know how to ask for it or find it. I am, indeed, one of the lucky ones. Why do I stay? I stay because of little moments like …
