I'm polyamorous and live with my partners and our children. Here's how we make it work.

When my husband and I opened our relationship, we never thought we'd have a live-in partner.
That changed when we met Ty. We moved in together, along with our two kids, and never looked back.
Imagine a polyamorous person right now. You're probably thinking of a young person who lives with their cats and plants, or maybe an Instagram throuple where every member is super fit and conventionally attractive. But what about an exhausted mom who wears yoga pants and goes to bed before midnight? Well, that's me — and I'm polyamorous.
I've got two kids: D, who's 11, and H, who's 9. I also have two live-in partners. There's Daniel, my legal spouse and the biological father of D and H, and Ty, my unofficial spouse and co-parent. But we are not a throuple; Daniel and Ty do not date each other, and I switch beds between the two.
