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.

You could move to a commune

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

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

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

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

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"

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 :)

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

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

ha ha op you say that now

Tea! Drinking tea!

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

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?

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

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

Period so just get some staff.

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

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.

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

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

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