@hunkymunky008 You really type a lot do you. As a bisexual I can tell you: I don't feel bizarre for being one, I'm bizarre myself, but I've always been so, so yeah. XD I'm not polyamorous, but I know polyamorous families. They are fine, at least the kids I know of them aren't bratty, they are open minded and less prone to bully. they are excruciatingly smart for their own good, and they are all straight. XD You have to open your mind a bit more, least a kid of you turns out "bizarre." XD
@hunkymunky008 I feel a bit offended, because I'm bisexual, and I have a lot of transgender friends who are even cooler than "normal" people. Calling them freaks is a major no no, they are people and that's it. If you think that because we have different sexual orientations we are freaks of nature, or mentally ill, then that's your opinion and I respect that, I just respect us back because we deserve it, too. We are normal people, we just have different tastes than you. Can you handle that? ^^
@hunkymunky008 Of course I don't! May of my friends are underaged, and I have cousins as young as ten years younger than me, and nieces and nephews even younger! I don't even DARE to imagine what would happen to them if my aunts, uncles or cousins would let them get married to 48 year olds! It's freaking insane!
I'm from Mexico, the coming of age is at 18, but I think a child of 16 can consent... I don't remember it correctly, I have to ask my father. And still I think it's too young.
@hunkymunky008 I dont' think you understood: Normal polyamorous relationships are alright, they tend to be more loyal than monogamous, as far as I've seen anyways. Nobody is brain washed, nobody is forced, nobody is raped. They can walk out without any shame, and nobody will come to get them.The people in them don't need secret railroads to escape to a better life, and the cops will side with whomever is better rather than with their "brothers". FLDS style polygamy, not THAT'S sick.
for the people who are saying the kid is gonna be messed up, or that this is sick.It's ALRIGHT! Get sick at the FLDS guys, not at this! Polygamy is alright when it's actually consensual, nobody is brain washed, it'snot for religious purposes, and most of all... IT'S NOT UNDER AGED GIRLS MARRYING OLD GEEZERS.
@clittle10301 Be sure, the Chances of a child in Monogamy family getting messed up is much higher than a child in a family with more than 2 parent.
Because if 1 or 2 of the Parents are busy the other will be with the Kid, so that will prevent him from getting Messed up or Uneducated or lacking Social needs.......
@hunkymunky008 ...of the problems infesting your own household, the wife in the bathroom getting wet using a vibrating-head toothbrush to her cooch, a pitiful set of miserable, self-loathing children invisible to your eye, dysfunction sanctioned all because of this "sturdy tradition" you unyieldingly ascribe to.
@hunkymunky008 hmm, one of us must try and show some semblance of intelligence, and you're not doing a very good job, actually youve made your mental hindrance very clear to everyone just about. you're still the only one convinced that you are the sole beholder of spotting out FREAKS, you have no self-perception of yourself, yu are completely unhinged to yourself, thats dangerous stuff. You're the type of guy who is so commited to have your dial point due-north to THE OTHERS you have no idea..
@hunkymunky008 just as civilizations' dictators and oppressors never stand an eventual chance in detaining rights from the oppressed class &don't speak of my arab culture as though you are educated in any sense of the ethics of culture. you are the pedo.There is no agenda that is as mirthless, unyielding as enforced religion; the clergy remains a great candidate for molestation of its youth in the own goddamn churches' service but you redneck boors have got your heads up your asses on that one
@hunkymunky008 you brand anything YOU find distasteful to be A PERVERSION...guess what, perversions are defined by cultures, and cultures do have a habit of changing over time in practices and ethics; yet you are so hardened that your set of beliefs are somehow impeccable??? I doubt you'd be calling minorities and blacks perversions, and slavery a needful pillar of American tapestry of industrial power. Get a fucking clue, you monkey. your name says it all.
@hunkymunky008 typical, use a heterosexual man's dilemma to target gays, as though that's not a crock of shit. I don't see who is seeking a medal, you're the only warthog who is setting things ablaze and pointing the finger at non-conventional families. And once again, you expose yourself woefully and deliberately ignorant and blind. the "traditional family" (which Ive already explained is paradoxical as it has only been tradition for mere decades) does NOT WORK THAT WELL.
@hunkymunky008 lol, oh cute. ive forgotten how inventive you could be. I'm actually more than a guest, I'm a born citizen. I can't speak for you, because unlike you I choose not to speak on behalf of things I know nothing about. Pulling shit out your ass is what monkeys do, so there you go. I am glad to have given you glee though, I won't try and redact that from you. Clearly this family is welcome in the US, your american-dream all-happy-on-the-western-front concoction is gradually being wiped.
I feel like this kid shouldn't be home-schooled - that's the main problem I have with this. Kids should learn to interact with other kids - even(especially) the mean ones.
Im also surprised that this family came out with this - most situations like this are kept under wraps for fear of government involvement.
This video is unashamed propaganda for an aggressive goup which wants to change or society.
To summarise: a young boy is being brought up by a woman and two very confused men. He hasn't been encouraged to sleep by himselfl instead sharing a bed with these people who appear to very delusional. He receives no education at all. And some wacky documentary film-maker videos the adults' self-justification with no challenge or commentary.
I'm so glad to see a family like this work things out for themselves in a healthy way. Society has a formula for relationships that has no real basis in human nature. Break the mold.
An update for all those 'concerned' folks who worry about Dru's development: 3 years on he's doing great, big reader, lots of friends, long since moved into his own bed of his own choice, happy and not confused at all.
wow... that was intrestiong! it took me foever to find a good documentry on this type of family! i was raised in a polyamory triad, with one dad and two moms, although i did atteend public school and live a more (otherwise) traditional life. I love this story though!
@somerandomnameyeah what about them makes them nut jobs? i guarantee you that you have no reason to feel sorry for the child, he's living in a home with 3 parents that love him dearly. Just because you're monogamous and most likely straight, doesn't mean your lifestyle is the only one that works, you have no right to judge another's.... #NoH8
I believe in Polyandry, very much BUT ONLY amongst CONSENTING and WILLING ADULTS. For LOVE, like, affection of the other(s) involved NOT for tradition, culture, and religion or faith fundamentalism.
I think your ideas are confused because it is the illuminist regime, born from the Roman Empire, who forced christianity and the corresponding sexual morals upon pagan Europe. I am not against Christianity, there is beautiful truth in it but the illuminist twisted it to their own liking and have repressed the masses through it. the trad. family can be very good but I believe what is important is that people are happy and raise happy, healthy kids. where's your proof polyamory cannot give this?
i think this is wonderful, i was always interesting in these sort of things and if they leave a healthy happy life then more power to them! and really the child would only grow up confused if things werent explained properly, i think its great because this sort of thing will lead to a generation of more open minded people
They seem to be a sweet family ^^ And living in love, that is the most important. Only people that are afraid and have no insight could judge something like that.
excuse me but i doubt you are a liscensed psychologist who is qualified to give a diagnosis. if you aren't then stop ascribing labels to people you have never met so have NO way of truly understanding
OMG you are ALL awsome!! Thank you for sharing you story. I have been poly for 14 yrs. and Trans for 7. I am in the process of creating a domestic family. Bravo for reminding me it's possible. xox
He doesn't need gender roles. I agree with Born2Nonconform. His problem is mostly going to come from the outside world when they try to tell him how he "needs" to be. It's hard enough for a straight girl who doesn't want to be a submissive housewife. It's not fair.
It's perfectly okay with me because America is the the land of the free, but let polygamous men find out and the sh** will hit the fan. The message I've gotten in the past is that polygamy is for men. As long as they love each other and take care of each other.
Just like it is factually inaccurate to claim that America is THE ONLY free country in the world.
There are free modern democracies in Europe that are JUST AS FREE as the USA, like for example Italy, England, Germany, France, Holland, but there are things you are not free to do in those nations, just like there are things you are not free to do in the USA.
However, if I had to be objective, the USA is not the free-est nation in the world.
@misspansyparkinson I'm aware of the fact that Holland is a region in the Netherlands, and the same goes for England/UK, but Instead of focusing on the way I called those places (which are frequently and commonly addressed the same way I did, which I know is technically wrong), are you capable of commenting on the message itself that I expressed, in my post?
I was looking for constructive comments, as opposed to an un-necessary lesson on European geography, with which I'm already familiar.
yeah... I still think that they should force the kid to have his own room. my friend's parents were like that with her and she's now 22 and still mostly sleeps with her mother. Its just a bit weird... The trans girl is absolutely adorable BTW. ;D
you know my thoughts after viewing this were..they're adults if it works for them whatever go for it..but having a kid...what kind of life are you giving this child? 9 and sleeping in the same bed? C'mon... he should have been placed on his room long time ago... I think they kid is going to be really messed up.
I absolutely and totally agree with you! Adults are free to do what they want and I believe that children can be raised and thrive in any loving enviroment, but...children, regardless of whom their parents are, need rules boundaries and structure.
I think if they want to live that way fine but what about little Dru? Seems to me he is going to be very confused about who he is and what a family is all about. I also wonder if he's getting a good education? I home-schooled for 11 years but we did things both ways, conventionally and unconventionally.
Actually i'm I think the homeschooling approach "sarah" had was great, the child was obviously thriving and the parents are obviously attentive to his scholastic and physical needs. My concern is his social well being and his sexual well being. When I say sexual I mean, I don't think he is getting a clear view of gender roles, gender roles are important regardless of your sexual orientation.
Gender roles are no longer relevant...There is no distinct difference between autonomous adults with penis's and autonomous adults with clitoris's, thus the fear of abnormal child development due to atypical parentage is based on flawed and outdated perceptions of gender stereotypes...evolution awaits while minds stagnate...
Evolution? Doesn't that theory revolve around surviving and procreating? How is homosexuality evolving? One could argue that homosexuality is quite the opposite of evolution. Strictly homosexual relationships would result in no off spring, therefore ending the blood line. Nature has very specific male and female roles and it's been that way since the beginning of time. You can breed yourself out, but I won't.
True, someone has to be heterosexual to produce the next generation. Everyone doesn't need to have children. I don't think we have to worry about any offspring shortages. There are plenty of people who prefer a heterosexual relationships.
Speaking from experience, we have 4 children in our Quad. I feel better attention should be placed on the childs education. He will face challenges because of your choice to live your life as you do, minimizing those challenges with a solid core education will go a long way for him.
We are an African American Quad consisting of 3 females and 1 male,we have been married for 5 yrs and together for 8 yrs. We're all in our 30's college educated and spiritually grounded people. A Poly lifesyle is about love. Anyone who dares to step outside the social box is in danger of all forms of attacks by people in this society who are in the box who would rather judge vs respect your human rights. Responsible honest relationships should be celebrated regardless the amount of people in it
that was a interesting video 2 wath but I like the idea and it seem 2 work 4 u it seems u all have a very loving relationship n take really good care of Dru and he's happy u have a neat family kudos
skinheadbill69 I think you are an idiot. Would you think better of them if they were White Nationalist fighting against homos or something? Get a fucking life you racist-homophobic-piece-of-garbage
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This film is very troubling from the point of view for the child, Drew. The problems will come later from the lack of certain boundries that children need. The real hurt isn't to the parents or other adults, but this child will not be better for this. Time will tell, my opinion isn't necessary but is more of a warning to others. This isn't correct and its has moral ramifications and destructive characteristics that will pass. Love means other things than this behavior and realationship
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's all about excesses. You never see a black person living this way. You also will never see this happening in a third world country because eventually something will *give* for the sake of survival. This can only happen in an overly obsessed country where instant gratification and supersizing is the *norm* and there is a haze where spiritual laws are concerned. Excess and confusion will only lead to combustion.
Actually, there ARE Black people involved in Poly-relationships. I personally know of some. In some cases it involves more than one woman as well, and they are very happy.
There are countries (they are spiritual as well) where polyamory, specifically Polyandry (one woman more than one man) is openly accepted. Coincidently, the countries practicing Polyandry did it for just that. Survival. :-)
What the hell are you babbling about? There are tons of Muslim Africans that follow polygamy as it is dictated by Islam, there's you black people AND third world country all rolled into one, genius. Go make your stupid comments about the excesses of America on a video that you actually know something about, might I suggest one about spewing bullshit.
Hello, I find your documentary very interesting. Are you a film student, or pursuing a career as a photo journalist? I am not sure of the family situation, however it seems as though they have found a reason and purpose for their lives, my only concern for this family is the child's mental ability to focus on his own developement when he sees two very different life approaches around him. How does the family address what their child is seeing outside their home?
Wow... i was surfing and ran into this. I knew Kyeli and The Other (Sera) and Dru in VA before they met Pace. I am so glad to see them all happy and healthy and together. Spirits bless your family.
Thank you for opening up and sharing your life. Not only is it affirming for us other poly families, but it's really good for "straight" people to see we're just people, too.
I don't care who you are, what you look like, or what opinions you have, but I don't believe for a second that there aren't conflicts in terms of raising your kid concerning all of you.
Wow. Growing up, you never really see that there are things other than a male/female only relationship, and if you do they always say that it can't work. It's great that you guys put it out there.
How refreshing it is to see people out there loving each other in the way they feel comfortable. Our society can make you feel like there are no other options available to us beyond that of husband/wife and i think your little documentary shows wonderfully how a different dynamic can work just as well as the traditional one. When so many children are raised by one mother alone, this child is so lucky to be lovingly raised by three!
Thank you Pace for giving us a glimpse into your life!
Is the person with really short hair a dude? Sad thing is that this child who is 9 yrs old with no schooling writes like he's just started 1st grade. If the child was better cared for regarding schooling and put into speech therapy that would make this whole situation seem not as sad.
Amazing!! thanks for sharing that with us, looks like you are doing a great job. It is good to see regular people thriving in polyamory and endless types of relationships,
RE: your son sharing your room, you raised a good point about him being opinionated enough to let you know when he wants to sleep in his own room, kids have feelings too and their opinions need to be respected. Thanks.
I'm confused. Is it that you are raising this amazing child together or is there a sexual communication? I'm not sure this is poly or that it is a family accepting a beautiful person trying to be fulfilled.
Huh? I'm confused too. The three of us (Pace, Sera, Kyeli) are all married to each other; we're in a romantic and sexual relationship. With lots of communication. (: And we also have an amazing son and we are raising him together. Did I misunderstand your question?
we are in a poly triad here in dallas area (2 women, 1 guy). This was extremely well done and i give you all kudos for your heart and bravery going against societies boundries. Love it and love you guys...keep on the great job you are doing.
It seems like a more functional family than most!

Obviously I'm not so sure that the kid is getting a "father figure", but I believe he will be just fine, because he lives in a loving environment.
Obviously sometimes they argue, but functional families need that too.

It's perfectly okay with me because America is the the land of the free, but let polygamous men find out and the sh** will hit the fan. The message I've gotten in the past is that polygamy is for men. As long as they love each other and take care of each other.

@misspansyparkinson That is factually inaccurate.
Just like it is factually inaccurate to claim that America is THE ONLY free country in the world.
There are free modern democracies in Europe that are JUST AS FREE as the USA, like for example Italy, England, Germany, France, Holland, but there are things you are not free to do in those nations, just like there are things you are not free to do in the USA.
However, if I had to be objective, the USA is not the free-est nation in the world.

@misspansyparkinson I'm aware of the fact that Holland is a region in the Netherlands, and the same goes for England/UK, but Instead of focusing on the way I called those places (which are frequently and commonly addressed the same way I did, which I know is technically wrong), are you capable of commenting on the message itself that I expressed, in my post?
I was looking for constructive comments, as opposed to an un-necessary lesson on European geography, with which I'm already familiar.

yeah... I still think that they should force the kid to have his own room. my friend's parents were like that with her and she's now 22 and still mostly sleeps with her mother. Its just a bit weird... The trans girl is absolutely adorable BTW. ;D

you know my thoughts after viewing this were..they're adults if it works for them whatever go for it..but having a kid...what kind of life are you giving this child? 9 and sleeping in the same bed? C'mon... he should have been placed on his room long time ago... I think they kid is going to be really messed up.

Polyamory, homosexuality, trans gender... do your thing. But damn, put the boy in school and get him a bed.

I absolutely and totally agree with you! Adults are free to do what they want and I believe that children can be raised and thrive in any loving enviroment, but...children, regardless of whom their parents are, need rules boundaries and structure.

I think if they want to live that way fine but what about little Dru? Seems to me he is going to be very confused about who he is and what a family is all about. I also wonder if he's getting a good education? I home-schooled for 11 years but we did things both ways, conventionally and unconventionally.
petlover60 3 years ago
Actually i'm I think the homeschooling approach "sarah" had was great, the child was obviously thriving and the parents are obviously attentive to his scholastic and physical needs. My concern is his social well being and his sexual well being. When I say sexual I mean, I don't think he is getting a clear view of gender roles, gender roles are important regardless of your sexual orientation.
mirandasblog 3 years ago
Gender roles are no longer relevant...There is no distinct difference between autonomous adults with penis's and autonomous adults with clitoris's, thus the fear of abnormal child development due to atypical parentage is based on flawed and outdated perceptions of gender stereotypes...evolution awaits while minds stagnate...
Born2Nonconform 3 years ago 3
Evolution? Doesn't that theory revolve around surviving and procreating? How is homosexuality evolving? One could argue that homosexuality is quite the opposite of evolution. Strictly homosexual relationships would result in no off spring, therefore ending the blood line. Nature has very specific male and female roles and it's been that way since the beginning of time. You can breed yourself out, but I won't.

True, someone has to be heterosexual to produce the next generation. Everyone doesn't need to have children. I don't think we have to worry about any offspring shortages. There are plenty of people who prefer a heterosexual relationships.

Speaking from experience, we have 4 children in our Quad. I feel better attention should be placed on the childs education. He will face challenges because of your choice to live your life as you do, minimizing those challenges with a solid core education will go a long way for him.

We are an African American Quad consisting of 3 females and 1 male,we have been married for 5 yrs and together for 8 yrs. We're all in our 30's college educated and spiritually grounded people. A Poly lifesyle is about love. Anyone who dares to step outside the social box is in danger of all forms of attacks by people in this society who are in the box who would rather judge vs respect your human rights. Responsible honest relationships should be celebrated regardless the amount of people in it

I grew up co-sleeping with my mom and I never did reach an all out point where I demanded my own bed. I just flitted back and forth.
And kudos for actively unschooling!!
You all rock :D

This film is very troubling from the point of view for the child, Drew. The problems will come later from the lack of certain boundries that children need. The real hurt isn't to the parents or other adults, but this child will not be better for this. Time will tell, my opinion isn't necessary but is more of a warning to others. This isn't correct and its has moral ramifications and destructive characteristics that will pass. Love means other things than this behavior and realationship

It's all about excesses. You never see a black person living this way. You also will never see this happening in a third world country because eventually something will *give* for the sake of survival. This can only happen in an overly obsessed country where instant gratification and supersizing is the *norm* and there is a haze where spiritual laws are concerned. Excess and confusion will only lead to combustion.
adamatova 3 years ago
Actually, there ARE Black people involved in Poly-relationships. I personally know of some. In some cases it involves more than one woman as well, and they are very happy.
There are countries (they are spiritual as well) where polyamory, specifically Polyandry (one woman more than one man) is openly accepted. Coincidently, the countries practicing Polyandry did it for just that. Survival. :-)
BlewStar 3 years ago
What the hell are you babbling about? There are tons of Muslim Africans that follow polygamy as it is dictated by Islam, there's you black people AND third world country all rolled into one, genius. Go make your stupid comments about the excesses of America on a video that you actually know something about, might I suggest one about spewing bullshit.

Hello, I find your documentary very interesting. Are you a film student, or pursuing a career as a photo journalist? I am not sure of the family situation, however it seems as though they have found a reason and purpose for their lives, my only concern for this family is the child's mental ability to focus on his own developement when he sees two very different life approaches around him. How does the family address what their child is seeing outside their home?

I don't care who you are, what you look like, or what opinions you have, but I don't believe for a second that there aren't conflicts in terms of raising your kid concerning all of you.
Long sentence, but it had to be said.

How refreshing it is to see people out there loving each other in the way they feel comfortable. Our society can make you feel like there are no other options available to us beyond that of husband/wife and i think your little documentary shows wonderfully how a different dynamic can work just as well as the traditional one. When so many children are raised by one mother alone, this child is so lucky to be lovingly raised by three!
Thank you Pace for giving us a glimpse into your life!

Is the person with really short hair a dude? Sad thing is that this child who is 9 yrs old with no schooling writes like he's just started 1st grade. If the child was better cared for regarding schooling and put into speech therapy that would make this whole situation seem not as sad.
jcthankful2963 4 years ago
Amazing!! thanks for sharing that with us, looks like you are doing a great job. It is good to see regular people thriving in polyamory and endless types of relationships,
RE: your son sharing your room, you raised a good point about him being opinionated enough to let you know when he wants to sleep in his own room, kids have feelings too and their opinions need to be respected. Thanks.
1unusedusername 4 years ago 3
I'm confused. Is it that you are raising this amazing child together or is there a sexual communication? I'm not sure this is poly or that it is a family accepting a beautiful person trying to be fulfilled.
allieysue 4 years ago
Huh? I'm confused too. The three of us (Pace, Sera, Kyeli) are all married to each other; we're in a romantic and sexual relationship. With lots of communication. (: And we also have an amazing son and we are raising him together. Did I misunderstand your question?
