I’m in the market for books that normalize poly parenting. I have the Red Stroller for normalizing different family types (eg. single parent, gay, interracial).

My child’s other parent (separated) is very conservative and my family is too. I’m not trying to “push” poly, but prepare my kid mentally/emotionally if people say shit about me. I still have several years before I would need to come out.

Yeah. This is literally just to simplify the questions of why do I have multiple boy/girlfriends. It’s not like I can hide that from my kid.

The alternative is to let them think I’m cheating, which is what other people in my kid’s life will tell him.

It’s no different than trying to answer the two dads question.
