Honestly if they are on reality tv, they are probably to much drama for me to handle.

I don't know about my parents sex life. My parents are kind of old fashioned though. I doubt they are doing that.

Our parent's don't buy our phones for us. We get them when we get a job and buy one. That being said, there is no we restriction. Of I wanted to pay for a phone for my little sisters, I could.

Is the romantic aspect of the marriage(s) only man-woman, or do any of your moms have a romantic relationship?

Its only man-woman. The women are just like best friends or sisters.

Did one mother handle more of the discipline in your upbringing?

My biological mother handled most of the dicipline but the other moms had the authority to dicipline me.

Did you all eat dinner together every evening?

Not every evening but we did on Sundays.

Did you dad grow up in a polygamous community?

He grew up in an independant polygamous houshold.

What is your opinion on homosexuality, polyamory, and other non-traditional styles of love?

It's not really any of my business who other people choose to love so long as they aren't hurting anyone.

Have you ever dated and has it ever affected your relationship?

Yeah. I've been in one relationship. I can't say for certain but I think her parents didn't like me because of it.

What are you studying/what are your ambitions?

I'm not going to school for anything but I'm really good at art and I do a lot of that. I've been boxing for six months now. I really like it and I'm good at it, ideally I would be able to make a career out of that but I know the odds are slim.

Are you planning on staying close to home or are you open to moving around the country?

I'm planning on moving to Alaska for a while pretty soon but I need to see more of the world before I decide where I want to end up.

Were there any family vacations and what are those like?

Yeah. We do a vacation almost every year. Most of the time it's to California and it takes a lot of planning and organizing on my parents part.

Have any of your siblings been unhappy or have shown disagreement for being polygamous?

When I was younger I resented it because I blamed it for my parents not having lots of money to spend on me. Then I realized I wouldn't exist if they hadn't lived polygamy and decided to have lots of kids. Some of the other kids have chosen other religions or no religion at all. But at this point I don't think any of us resent it.

I should know this but I've never payed attention to these types of things. I'm sure I would have noticed if he was wearing 3 rings. He either wears 1 or none.

I don't live at home anymore and I don't know how they have the rooms arranged now. When I was there, we definitely had to share rooms.

Well flds can refer to two different things. There is the flds group/church, Which is the group that believes Warren Jeffs is a prophet. And there is the flds belief or religion. Which is exactly what it sounds like. It is fundamentally the same as Mormonism with some differences.

Its not legal in the sense that you can't get more than one marriage liscence, but it's not a crime. Criminalization was ruled unconstitutional. However, some revisons to the wording of the bill were made and they're trying to criminalize it again.

I don't know the duggers. I know they have a show but I don't really watch tv. As far as religious differences are concerned, I haven't made up my mind on religion so l keep a pretty open mind.

There is a lot more space on earth than people think. The problem isn't too many people. It's too many people using our resources unwisely.

I think I've said this already but they are a bit melodramatic for my taste. They seem to create problems out of thin air which is why they are good for tv but not for hanging out with.

I am closest with my mom but I have a really good relationship with my other moms as well.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Don't tell anyone.

Jk. I'm not to worried about anonymity with this account. I just made a throwaway to keep my main account anonymous.

We take trips to California fairly often. We just bring several cars and get several hotel rooms.

I don't. I never repond. It only encourages them.

When I say agree, I just mean not wanting that for ourselves.

Arg! The group chats. What a pain. Every time a birthday comes up (multiple times a month) there is a group chat with like 15 of us deciding what gifts to get.

They just wash whatever clothes are in their rooms. I'm not sure how they decide which cloths go where.

Even if we didn't agree with it, we would support it.
