In this week's cast of podding we go into the nitty gritty of integrating families. We had so much to gab about it, we had to turn it into 2 episodes. Listen along as we discuss our views and experiences with integrating our families and the different parenting techniques people may use within their family and how to make it all work as seamlessly as possible.

Your hosts are J, Crow, and Xan.

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" by: Some inspirational person.
Plans don't always work out the way we wanted, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy the time and opportunities that happen instead. Loving more often means giving more - but also - getting more in return. "Be excellent to each other" - also by some inspirational people.Support the show

When operating within the societal norms of interpersonal relationships, we have developed, as a culture, what some have dubbed the "code" (ie: Bro Code). This code puts into effect certain rules that those in your circle are to adhere to when it comes to interacting with one another. We introduce you to a polyam friendly "code" - the Metamour Code (or MetaCode as we have called it). Are your Meta practices up to code? Listen to this episode to find out.Support the show

While J's M.O. is generally pretty "live and let live", on occasion you will find a topic that the feels just fly on. In this episode we discuss and rant about the importance of intentional distinction between friends and lovers and how some people use polyamory as an excuse for their unhealthy behaviors. Making or priming all of your "friends" to be a polyamorous partner (to the exclusion of actually maintaining outside friendships) is an example of one of those actions - and one that J is (apparently) quite passionate about. Friends VS Lovers ... annnnd GO!Support the show
