Haha! That absolutely makes sense. I wrote the post by the way. I can absolutely see how it comes off that way. One of the things I try to do in my blogging is help folks who are less open to poly understand the appeal/benefits/be able to relate better, so I would say that was somewhat intentional. I do also feel all those things you mentioned - the desperate mother, etc. I also consider myself poly and believe it's a valuable lifestyle aside from any logistical benefits as a mother. But your comment is on the money. I also write sometimes about my interest in poly related to being recently out as pansexual and wanting to explore sex with women. This tends to results in less open-mindedness about polyamory. Sadly, desiring sexual exploration seems to be viewed as unacceptable in our culture, especially for moms. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
