What is wrong with polyamory? [I Support Polyamory]

Just finished an argument with another user saying our kids need to be taken from us solely because we're polyamorous. Their only argument, it's a sin. Couldn't even explain how or why it's a sin.

So I ask what is wrong with expressing love for more than one person openly? What's wrong with raising kids in a home with more than two loving parents?

What specifically is so wrong with raising a polyamorous family? Please give me arguments that can't apply to monogamous parents.

(laughs) The concept of "sin" is essentially a human concept. Ergo, their only defense will implode on itself.

My argument would be just as valid: "Speedbumps suck for those who want to drive fast!" Yup, they sure do. Way to pull a fast one on me there, you clever individual. Now go away.

(sighs) Everyone having their own opinion is perfectly fine. Expressing it? Sure. Imposing it upon others? Well, in that case, imagine how you would feel if another party were to do that to you. How would you react?

Have we truly lost the ability to utilize this skill in understanding a different perspective?

People get so weirdly threatened by relationships that deviate from their expectations and experiences. An unhealthy monogamous relationship will do more damage to kids than a healthy poly relationship will.

Yeah polyamorous relationships are likely to break down because of interpersonal conflicts - oh wait loads of couples get divorced

It will show the children that love is given freely to people who earn it without the need for a contract - oh wait that's a good thing.

Shit I'm really struggling...

There's... More... Support available? More money as there are more people in the household earning?! No wait these are all good things?!!!

@KuroNeko Emotional health and social awareness - agreed, thoroughly saturated with constant open and honest communication amongst all parties involved. Being so open with those whom you love breaks so much unnecessary tension down.

There’s nothing wrong with polyamory so long as all people involved are consenting adults and the children aren’t being harmed in any way. People don’t have to care for it, but to say it’s wrong is just an old, outdated way of thinking.
The most logical argument I have heard is people barely can get along with just one person.

@canusernamebemyusername Yes but you will always have someone else to talk to lol.

Nothing. Its like any relationship, the people involved should be emotionally mature enough to handle it and raise kids. A lot of people struggle in monogamous relationships because it's not a good fit for them. People should be able to make their own choices without others thinking they know better.

i've always supported polyamorous relationships as long as its honest between everyone involved if anything that kid will be more cared for. they'll always have someone they can confide in, hang out with. a pta meeting will never go missed. and feck help whoever bullies that kid.

Kids mind is influenced by your behaviour and the kids need to make their own choice about how relationships work.If you are setting a precedent, then you are illegally influencing a childs mind, when that is not the social norm.I,m not saying its unnatural, but you cant sexually guide kids into a particular way of life and you would be doing that by becoming openly polyamorous.

@johntomSWPhd Save for (arguably) the last few words, I could see your statement as being applicable to "organized" religions as well.

I imagine confused kids

@revenant confusion is in adult mind not with kids. Open your mind and admit you loved to be loved that way

I just Googled it. There is nothing wrong with it.

It doesn’t bother me outside of those cult towns where they keep marrying younger girls to old men. Outside of that just ordinary folks with a healthy relationship that may involve any extra adult that cares about them doesn’t worry me.
