Ah, I see. It's "for the children", again.
They're not your kids, so if they're wanted and not being abused or neglected, I don't really see how that motivates your "dislike". They're all under the same roof, so dad's presumably there for them equally.
It doesn't really matter that I don't embrace your view. though. I accept it and tolerate it, which is really all that most people ask when it comes to differences in beliefs and lifestyles.
Anyway, plenty of kids in nuclear families are treated like dog shit, while other kids who have half-siblings from a couple or a few different moms or dads are well cared-for and loved.
Personally, plural marriage is a major turn off to me for my own reasons. Honestly, I think the people who engage in it are weird and gluttons for punishment. That's admittedly based on my own biases, and I have very limited exposure to their lifestyles and beliefs (very little interest, too). But, hey, they might well think that I'm weird for choosing to be monogamous and having no interest in legal marriage.
Since we're not forcing our lifestyles on each other, it's nothing that concerns me.
