Platonic Modern Family - Friends, acquaintances and strangers who raise kids together

[Deleted]

Liberals don't "want the nuclear family dead". The nuclear family can continue on just as it always has. What those dirty, evil liberals want is recognition that other types of families can exist as well.

You don't get to pick a label for yourself like "father","uncle","mother", like you're at the fucking "Family Roleplay" supermarket just cause you feel like it at the expense of a child.

One, The scope of my comment wasn't just the US. Two, commies/socialists/leftists/regessives/sjw's/cultural or political marxists.

So I assume that when you refer to 'the economy' as a singular, you're actually referring to the global economy as a whole? I thought dismantling that was kinda what the Right wanted in the first place - what with all the railing against globalism and such.

I'm also well aware that when you say 'commie', you actually mean 'left of centre': that way of thinking is endemic across the board right now. It's why there's so little constructive debate these days.

I am amazed that the girl managed to mention that she was a vegan in an article about her child. She took it to whole new level.

On topic, I don't particularly have any issue, if the children are being well handled.

Because it's proven by science.

There is no science proving that it's so good as you think it is.

Seems to me that if the children are all being loved and cared for...that's all that should really matter. I've seen a lot of more "conventional" families do a lot worse.

i predict a sex change or sexual abuse (maybe both) in its future like a lot of children raised by feminist lesbians or male homosexual parents.

I predict you will die alone and unloved. Bitter at the world that passed you by.

It seems a good solution for those that can't have kids on their own. Or those that just want to help a struggling parent or an orphan
For me, I would never raise someone else's kid, I am selfish yes yes I know

On the one hand, she did unnecessarily bring up being a Vegan. (How do you know when someone is a Vegan? Don't worry...they'll tell you.)

On the other, instead of a lecture about the evils of the meat industry, she made him a steak. And then she took a big load from him (granted, it was in a cup...but still)

Wow did you know that this is what is taking place these days? Are you ok with this? What problems do you think this type of arrangement can bring?
3 people raising a kid together? How does that work? I imagine it could get really messy in family court. How would custody work if there is a dispute? Do you think we will see 4 and 5 people raising a kid together in the future?

More at the link.
Do you know anyone in such an arrangement?

There is nothing "Platonic" about such a family described in the OP.

The OP does not understand Plato or Socrates and does not even understand what the term Platonic entails.

The fact that you think Plato and Socrates still have value is troubling. A total waste of my time studying their works in the past.

I don't care how people choose to raise children as long as it's legal and safe

Sorry I’m not some characture of a 1950’s suburban house wife, cough.

Is it not true that they planned a lot for this interview and feature story. No doubt they considered how to take the photograph so that it is reflective of their family.
It seems like Adam is in the backseat when it comes to storytime even though he's the biological father. Would you be okay sipping a latte and watching 2 others tell your daughter bedtime stories?

My favorite is the second story, where the lady moved into "Bino's" basement lmao, I will basically assume she doesn't pay rent either

Overall, this type of thing doesn't bother me because its not my life, but some of this shit can get weird.

[kail]

Because it's proven by science.

And what scientific study can you link showing that the nuclear family is the best environment to raising kids?

[Toogoodman]

they said all the right things—“I have a great relationship with my mom; I’m a feminist; I just want to be a dad”

The Police record check, the chick moving into his basement, and making an apartment down there, im dying laughing.

He had to explain to the cops because they were laughing in his face lmao.

[Mistame]

Cuck has evolved my dude. Get with the times.

No, it hasn't. It's still literally defined as a husband whose wife cheats. Not married? Not a "cuck". Period.

Because it's proven by science.

Science is irrelevant to the wishes of the individual. If a woman doesn't want to be in a relationship, child or not, that's her right.

Riiight. So a guy with his live in partner. Then the partner cheats on him but it's all good?

It's not "all good" but he still wouldn't be a "cuck".

Your inability to parse logic never ceases to amaze me.

Welcome back from your ban Adam. Hopefully you've changed for the better.

How about having a proper child with a proper man then which is the way humanity works since like the dawn of time, instead of picking one of your buddies to play daddy as if a father figure was just a spare part to replace, you selfish bitch. Poor kids being used for social experiments and journalists jacking themselves off writting pieces about it.

Yeah I don't get it. Isn't that what nature intended? It takes a man and a woman to have a baby. There's a reason for that.

[Taeldorian]

The kids are being loved and taken care of. I don’t see why I would care if everything is going well and the kid/kids get what they need.

It does seem kinda weird. I’d never do it. Would just have kids the normal way and if I couldn’t then I wouldn’t. However I get people wanting to have kids and going through other methods to have them, which is why adoption and such is popular.

And, in every one of these cases, a man and a woman had a baby.
Nature doesn't require the birth parents to share a romantic bond with each other.
