Someone else asked, “Did you have friends over or sleepovers? What did your peers or grandparents think of the situation? Did you watch Sister Wives, lol?”
She responded, “We were allowed friends over, but for overnight things like sleepovers, that was close friends only, and there were a few rules around it. Some people were judgemental about my parents; some were cool about it.
My grandparents had differing opinions. Mom’s had a hard time accepting it, and even now, they make some comments, but they’re trying to be polite and learn. I think their main issue is that she’s with a woman as well as a man, not that she’s with two people. Mama’s parents were fine with it because they just wanted her to be loved and happy and didn’t care if that meant loving two people. Dad’s parents didn’t approve of it and still don’t, but they care about him. They’ll only acknowledge his relationship with Mama, which obviously upsets Mom, but we don’t talk to them much.”
