People With Polyamorous Parents Are Sharing What It Was Like Growing Up, And It’s Fascinating

28.

“I grew up with one dad and two moms. My bio mom and my other mom both got pregnant at the same time, so I have a half-brother who was born two weeks before me. Since we are the same age, everyone thinks we are twins, but they get really confused when we tell them that no, we’re two weeks apart. I also have a sister who I’m not technically blood-related to (my brother has a half sister that was born 18 years before him). Though she is still my sister.”

“My childhood was pretty normal except I had two moms instead of one. Extra parenting, I guess. There were one or two cases of my dad getting another girlfriend and them moving in with us for a year or so. They just lived in an extra room and helped with our kids and all that. All of my parents had separate rooms.

One of my moms moved out when I was probably 10 because of issues with my dad’s girlfriend. I still get to see her, but not nearly as often. It was harder on my brother, though, as it was his birth mom who moved out, and he was stuck with my biological mom, who is kinda wild.

We all still have a good relationship, and I visit my other mom and my sister often. We are still a family, just a kind of weird family. Also, all my parents, my siblings, and I are all bisexual except for one. He is kind of the black sheep because of how ‘normal’ he is, LOL.”
