Would not it be easier to hire a Handy Man ?

With privileges ?
An Oakland family has found what they think is the key to a happy household: three parents. Two women named Melinda and Dani Phoenix and the man they both consider their husband, Jonathan Stein, are in a polyamorous relationship and parenting two babies together under the same roof. Melinda and Dani began their relationship as a lesbian couple and became domestic partners in 2010. A year later, Jonathan joined them as the third partner and the three married last summer in a ceremony that is not legally recognized.
Now they’re sharing their story to raise awareness about polyamorous families and hope that some day these arrangements can be widely accepted and legally recognized. With children entering their picture, they feel gaining support from the community is more important than ever.

Bet a handy man wouldn't be forever leaving the toilet seat up.

I have a husband who not only puts the toilet seat down but puts the lid down too. Getting up in the middle of the night and sitting on the toilet lid isn't as bad as sitting in the toilet bowl but it's still irksome.

It's very important to train your wife early on, so she doesn't join the nut balls that think they're never supposed to have to look down to see where they're about to sit.
Men know they have to look down before they pee, and I'm happy to say both females I live with are properly trained.

At least in the country.............but not in sub freezing weather and snow...............which leads to a whole other discussion about writing one's name.

I never heard of polyamorous families until the little girl in Azle was killed.
Makes no sense to me.

The weird thought that went thru my mind was, who'll be first to do a reality show, so I googled;

Seems to me this is nothing more than slapping a fancy name on adultery.

Bet humans have been saying that since the dawn of time. I'm old enough to remember adults saying that Rock & Roll was supposed to be the destruction of society. These days we are cursed with a media that lives and breathes to publicize anything that even vaguely seems like it has potential to attract an audience with prurient interests.

When Civil Marriage is no longer limited to one man and one women at a time; anything goes, and will in time.
