"Is 'platonic parenting' the relationship of the future?"
Is 'platonic parenting' the relationship of the future?
What do you guys think of this? This is another nail in the coffin for traditional families. An ugly old dyke IRT cunt decides to have a kid with a faggot and share the upbringing...
Quote:In 2014, Charles Bourne, a then 43-year-old nurse living with his husband in Philadelphia in the US, started to think seriously about having kids. At first, he considered adoption. But after hearing about ‘platonic parenting’ from a colleague, he decided to set up a profile on Modamily, a website that helps connect people who want to start a family.
In September, he was contacted by another Modamily member, Nisha Nayak, a psychologist then aged 40. Throughout the next few months, Bourne and Nayak met over coffee and pizza to explore their mutual desire to become parents.
In November 2015, Nayak underwent in-vitro-fertilisation (IVF) and conceived fraternal twins. Bourne and Nayak are now proud co-parents of two-year-olds Ella and Vaughn.
Platonic parenting, also referred to as ‘co-parenting’, is a term used to define people who are not romantically involved with each other who decide to raise a child together.
Reasons to become platonic parents vary. Sometimes, it’s spurred from LGBT people who decide to get together and form a family that departs from the traditional heterosexual household, like in the case of Bourne and Nayak (who identifies as queer).
In other cases, co-parenting arrangements come from long-time friends who decide to raise a child together. That was the case for Canadians Natasha Bakht and Lynda Collins. The two colleagues and friends successfully fought to set a legal precedent in Ontario family law to allow for Collins to be recognised as parent to Bakht’s son. Canadian law only allowed ‘conjugal partners’ to be recognised as parents, but the women convinced the jury that signing Collins as parent satisfied the legal principle of “acting in the best interest of the child”.
This new trend has not come without criticism.
Some point out that commuting between different homes can be stressful for children whose parents live apart. Bourne and Nayak live 20 minutes away from each other and split time with their kids equally, not unlike a divorced couple might. They work out issues including commuting and other delicate decisions that may affect kids together with the help of a family therapist.
Rachel Hope is the author of Family By Choice: Platonic Partnered Parenting. She raised her first child with a co-parent who lived in a separate home within the same property, and thinks it is best to live independently but under the same roof or in very close proximity.
Critics also worry that kids may miss out on witnessing romantic love between their parents. But she says that the worry is unjustified as kids can be exposed to that type of love through their parents’ romantic partners, or by witnessing other romantic couples around them.
Evolving families
There are no official statistics about platonic parenting yet, but throughout the past decade, participation in online communities for prospective platonic parents has been steadily growing.
Ivan Fatovic started Modamily in 2011 after realising that many of his friends and colleagues were interested in having kids and starting a family, but didn’t have a partner with whom to do so. Today, the platform has 25,000 active members from around the world, and Fatovic estimates that 100 babies have been born out of matches on his site. He also says around 100,000 people combined are registered on co-parenting sites such as FamilyByDesign and CoParents.com.
The law is slowly evolving to accommodate these relationships, in the US and elsewhere. In 2013, California governor Jerry Brown signed legislation that allows for more than two people to be legally recognised as parents. A handful of other US states currently allow for this option either via legislation or court proceedings. In Ontario, birth-parents can form a legal agreement to co-parent their child with up to four people.
In the UK, the law allows for just two parents to be recognised as such, but a recent ruling allowed two people who live in separate homes to be recognised as platonic parents of their child (UK marriage law does not make co-living as a necessary pre-condition to grant parenting rights).
‘The next big shift’
With a growing interest in platonic parenting, the next big shift will occur in language, says co-parenting author Hope.
“We lack a vocabulary to match these types of families,” she explains. “People hear ‘husband’ and think he is the father of your child when that may not be the case.” Charlie and Nisha have gone around this by using ‘Daddy’ for Charlie and ‘Papa’ for his husband Lynn.
Hope even believes the physical architecture of homes and neighbourhoods will change, too. “Right now our homes and neighbourhoods are designed for the nuclear family unit,” she says. “But going forward we may need new communal space, like compounds where platonic parents can co-exist in close proximity to collectively raise children.”

RE: "Is 'platonic parenting' the relationship of the future?"
At the beginning of the gay rights movement, it was all about ending discrimination regardless of the way that God/nature had made them. They just wanted the right to live their lives without interference from zealous busybodies trying to stick their noses into matters which were none of their business. It was difficult to argue with - even if you were disgusted by their lifestyle, it makes sense to treat everyone with respect as long as they are not causing any harm.
Then as soon as they got what they were asking for, it's like the dam was burst and there was a cascade of unforseen consequences. Gays in the military. Drag queens in schools. Anal sex in sex ed. Tranny bathrooms. Mothers encouraging their sons to be transgender. Deviants prancing around the streets in leather BDSM gear in front of children in their "pride" parades. Gays adopting children. Gay wedding cakes controversy. Now this platonic parenting heresy. And coming to a Western country soon, paedophile acceptance.
Is almost as if our ancestors have been through this before in various forms, and the ancient prohibition of homosexuality was the result of accumulated wisdom from the experience of what happens when gays are allowed to be out and proud. It's nothing to do with hate and everything to do with keeping societies healthy. Sure, that sucks for gays who can't help the way they were born, and I don't want to see them being punished or facing harm for the way they are. But it's necessary for them to stay strictly in the closet, to keep their degeneracy well away from prying eyes, and to be in no doubt that if they flaunt their lifestyle they will face unpleasant consequences.

RE: "Is 'platonic parenting' the relationship of the future?"
When it comes to platonic parenting, I kind of see a combination of the above example and the California multiple parent laws coming into play for the future. Basically, I see a platonic sense of polygamy for raising children happening in the future.
I doubt a lot of you watch Big Bang Theory, but I tend to check out episodes every now and then to see what the mainstream thinks and as background noise for work or web surfing. In the later seasons, one of the main couples started to have children. When they gave birth to their two kids, two soy boy friends of theirs decided to get actively involved in helping to take care of the babies. Both are nerd types who have a hopeless mindset for finding women of their own to be with for the long term. One of them even became a nanny for the couple and moved into the spare room of their house.
I'm of the belief that The Big Bang Theory is onto something here. It's not something I want to see happen, but I can easily see this being the start of a push towards this lifestyle for mid age adults for a few reasons.
This will give a blue pill purpose to the soy boys and very very low value women in helping to raise the next generation. Humans need a sense of purpose, and I could buy the media normalizing and talking about positives enough for this arrangement to make it an alternative some people would consider. The cool uncle or aunt angle may be enough here. It can get them to ignore the negatives with their adult life a bit and keep them in the matrix if you will giving them just enough of a piece in the stakes of the next generation. That keeps people contributing to society and gives them at least a feeling of investment to keep them in line.
I would never want that for myself, but with the way some guys are and how degenerate some women have become, I can see this happening. The other reason for it is a rise in cost of living. Where I'm from, 40-50% of people 30 or under live with their parents. People might want independence from their parents and with rent/house prices along with debt and job opportunities being what they are right now, this can be proposed as an alternate living situation for people in their 30's and above if this market situation continues.
Maybe a little off topic but the OP made me think of the above.
As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a player.

In the biblical story of God's hellfire destruction of the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah there is a story in there that alludes to what you are saying.
The main protangonist named Lot is visited by 2 (very good looking male) angels who are sent by God to to warn him and his family to get out of the city of degenerate sodomites before God destroys it. However, many faggots in the city saw the good looking angels walking to Lot's house and come to pay him a visit, demanding to have anal sex with the angels.
Lot refuses to let the homos into his house...but offers BOTH his HB10 VIRGIN daughters to the mad crowd of faggots. The sodomites refuse. That's right they refuse sex with Lot's 2 HB10 virgin daughters because they want butt sex with the male angels from God. When Lot stands his ground, the faggots get angry, call more of their homo friends across town, and soon an enormous gay pride parade is pounding at Lot's door demanding butt sex with God's angels.
The angels take charge of the situation, come out of Lot's house, and with their superpowers blind the eyesight of every member of the crazy gay pride parade.
With the homos blinded and unable to locate the nearest male butthole, the angels & Lot & his family make a break for it and get away from crazy gay pride parade. When Lot and his family are at a safe distance, God tells them to look away cause he wants to show the sodomites His version of tolerance.
I'm not even a follower of Christianity, and even I believe in this story.
All that we are going through now, has probably ALL already been seen by our distant male ancestors thousands of years ago.
