A CHILD of polyamorous parents has opened up about their experience growing up. Their relationship with their mom isn't the best because she's not understanding about their monogamy. Redditor Crazyginger1221 shared their family drama in a viral post.
As a child, they explained that their parents' dating style didn't pose a problem. "It wasn't a huge deal when I was a kid. Essentially, it was just like hanging out with your parents and their friends," they said.
"Some of my mom's [significant others] had kids my age that I got along with really well." While her mom's various partners never exercised any parental control over them, they were granted an amusing title. "I forgot to mention, while they have never had any authority over me, she refers to her SOs as my 'rampparents' because they're not quite stepparents, which is kind of funny," they said.
"Ramp-parents is a play on words because they're not married, so they are not my step-parent, so the ramp is instead of step as in stairs," they explained. A double entendre to the title both amused and disturbed them. "Ram-parent had never even crossed my mind, but I can never un-think of it, so thanks for that," they said.
As they grew older, however, judgment from their mom put pressure on their relationship. Their mom, they explained, didn't believe that less is more regarding partners. "That being said, a little while ago, my mom was flirting with a guy and referred to me as her 'mono ki' in the same tone I've heard ultra-con.
