Sitting Up Straight

Boy it's hard to try and have good posture. I forget to sit up straight then catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window and I'm almost touching the desk with my head because I'm so slumped over!!!! So today I'm going to try very hard to sit up straight and have perfect posture.

Anyway, that wasn't really why I was posting something here. I know my title is misleading, but whatever.

I watch this show called Sister Wives. I couldn't help but to watch. I was curious about why someone would ever want to get involved in a polygamy lifestyle. Why would anyone want to share a husband? Why would anyone want to help raise other peoples kids? Sounds stupid. Then I started watching it. Maybe my opinion is now just based on this one particularly functioning poly family, but I have definitely changed my tune.

This particular family, the Browns, live in Utah (of course) and there are four wives and one husband. The fourth wife is a new addition to the group which came about while the show was on so it was interesting to see the dynamics of the family adjust for this new wife and her children that she already had. But they did adjust and they are all incredibly happy.

The first three wives have each been married to Cody for more than 15 years, two of them I do believe are children of a polygamy family. And the one thing they all have in common: they love everyone.

They don't all live in one house, sharing one bedroom... each wife has their own "wing" (except Robin who lives down the street because she's the latest wife and there's no room at the Inn). All the wives are just what the title of the show says, Sisters. You know the saying, strength in numbers, well no kidding!!!!

They each raise their own kids, but each wife helps out. It's kind of like if you lived with your aunts and cousins. Your aunts would be there to help out if you need them, but you abide by the rules of your mom and dad.

I'm at work and I have to go, the phone is ringing. If you get a chance, please watch this show. You might become a bit more enlightened. Oh, and now they have to move because .... putting the person on hold..... they are being investigated. (Not all the wives are legally married, but it's causing problems). Ok, have to go.
