You saw an ad. I've seen all the episodes. Palatine Send a noteboard - 07/10/2010 05:54:33 PM
So I saw an ad for a show called Sister Wives about a family in Utah, 1 man 1 legal wife, and 2 spiritual wives. Between the 4 of them they have 13 kids. 2 of the wives work, one chooses to stay home and cook and stuff, but everyone chips in. they make good money and support their whole brood. They aren't like the Duggars where the older kids have to raise the younger ones cuz there are plenty of responsible loving parents to go around. And the dad is currently interested in a single mother who wants to be a part of the family with her 3 kids. And the other wives are debating letter her be a part of their family. Now the attorney general of Utah is trying to prosecute them or threatening to anyways. I dont see what the problem is here. If a man is married legally to one woman and she has no problem with him being with other women and even having kids with her and they all move into one house together, how is it the government business what they do. They have a problem with him calling all of them his wives but if he said she is my mistress or "baby mama" would that be ok? its kind of like the whole gay marriage debate, it makes no sense.


He married all three. While the last two may not count as legal wives, they're not "spiritual wives." Only one of the wives work. The oldest son chips in to "raise the younger ones" as was shown in the first episode. His dad worries about that, even saying his son is sometimes "too responsible." At this point in the season, the man has proposed to the single mother and she has moved into a house next to theirs, so she will be a part of the family once they marry.
