Modern Family

I'm curious, how do you feel about plural relationships? I grew up in a conventional one wife household. Eat well, get your sleep, do your chores, get married, six kids, house in the suburbs.

I was chasing my dream working as a server in a 'hot' bar and grill. A man came in and sat in my station. By the time he was ready to leave he asked me to come be his younger wife. See, he said, my current wife refuses to have kids, I need a younger wife to have kids for me.

It was three months later that I followed him out to find out, 'younger' meant the younger of two wives. He wanted me to join them, two wives in the house. One working on a career, the other one making babies. I thought of walking out, but his first wife said I could sleep with him, she would move into the other room.

He didn't just sleep with me. By then I was pregnant. He slept with her too, against her will and better judgement she got pregnant too. It was after the boys were born that we looked for a day nanny. Kendra, a senior in college. She lasted six weeks before she was pregnant. Wife number three.

I'm 35 now, Kendra is 32 and Suzie is 37. We have a dozen kids, four each. We wanted a dozen, you know the movie Cheaper by the Dozen. We live in an older house, built in 1937 for a banker. We remodeled and added two bathrooms, and extended the Master. Three of a kind, three 'sisters'.
