To want to live in a Harem?

[PeriodFeatures]

I have an 8 week old DD. Since DH has been back at work i've been having a lovely time with her, having coffees with other mums, baking, sorting through huge piles of laundry....that kind of thing.

As I am at this point in our lives, quite content with domesticity, looking after our l family and spending lots of time with other women and children I think it would be fine for him to go and find his next wife.

Once the harem is built, i can share the domestic stuff with some other women, have more children to play with and probably we could share childcare a bit so i could for instance enjoy having a poo on my own now and again.

It annoys me a bit that the British economy won't support this kind of set up. They need to pay men a lot more money to keep at least three wives and even more children.

AIBU?

I think I'd rather just have a wife.

[MortifiedAdams]

You could move to a commune

[sonlypuppyfat]

Who in there right mind would want to spend all their time with other women.

[BOF]

Eh? I love women. What are you doing on mumsnet then?

[KirjavaTheCorpse]

Jesus, no. I don't like other people very much, let alone their children.

[Lighthousekeeping]

You should work at my place. It's all women.

That would be a great idea mortified but we've got far too much stuff junk and a bit of an aldi habit. Neither of which a lentil weaving commune would tolerate. Nor would it solve me getting the bed to myself at least four nights a week..

couuldnt think of anything worse

baby brain has got to you op

[ICameOnTheJitney]

Don't you mean a commune rather than a Harem? I mean I wouldn't fuck a man when he felt like choosing me rather than one of his other "wives"

[Meringue33]

I think raising children in a nuclear family far from relatives is really bloody hard and probably not how nature intended.

Having said that I'd loathe living with either my extended family or in a commune... Unless all the members were handpicked specifically by me.

Thanks lighthouse I don't want a job though. Not ever again. Work is horrid. Cuddling babies, baking and chatting is where it's at for me :)

[ICameOnTheJitney]

This thread annoys me. If you want the bed to yourself 4 nights a week then sleep elsewhere ffs.

[Sindarella]

I'll live with you! I have a convent ( well i do for half the week ) its great!
Someone is always around watching the dc, someone getting the dinner on, ironing etc. When dc are in bed we sit around drinking

[theywillgrowup]

ha ha op you say that now

[Sindarella]

Tea! Drinking tea!

[Latara]

Why would you want to share your husband with other women??

[PeriodFeatures]

Jitney I am his best an most favourite wife so it doesn't matter. He'd fuck me above all others as i am best at it.

Meringue spot on. It's a bit shit isn't it?

[Sindarella]

I think some people think you are serious by the way.....

[SaggyIsHavingAPinkKitten]

It'd only work if there were young fit half naked slave boys to do me all of the housework and fetching and carrying!

[ICameOnTheJitney]

Period so just get some staff.

[PeriodFeatures]

Sindarella You have a convent for half the week? really? I'm packing my habit and prayers now..

[Puffykins]

I'm kind of with you. I've been watching quite a lot of Big Love recently. I can totally see the benefits of plural marriage.

[catgirl1976]

I would very much like a wife. It would be very helpful

[BellEndTent]

Fuck that! I wouldn't mind a few extra husbands though...

[Helpyourself]

Puffy I love Big Love for the sister wives,
but feel a bit queezy when I think about the actual technicalities of sharing DH.
