Polygamy: Is It Worth It?

My wife and I are into the show “Big Love” and we watch it together every week. Before I actually saw the first episode, I thought to myself that polygamy sounded like a great life. One man and multiple women; how can that be bad? Well…I really thought about this and I have the pros and cons all figured out.

Cons

• More than one woman in your life
• To many children
• You need a lot of money to maintain the family
• You have to lie to everyone outside of your home(s)
• Multiple women asking when will you be home from work
• Multiple women telling you how hectic their day was while you worked
  

  Should I enter the world of polygamy?

• More than one woman in your life (oops already said that)
• Multiple women telling you that you got fat
• You will need a bus or a convoy of cars when you go on vacation
• You will probably be the #1 recipient of Xanax
• You may also be the #1 recipient of Zoloft
• More than likely you will have a lot of friggin children
• Never have time to yourself (like that matters after you have 1 kid and 1 wife)
• You increase the chances of having an ugly child
• More than one woman in your life (sorry)
• A house/houses full of hormonal women
• You have to figure out how many of your wives will work and how many will stay home to raise the kids
• Apparently there is a hierarchy amongst the wives which causes competition (that may be a pro)
• If you go “old school” your wives will dress like it is 1850
• If they dress like it is 1850 they probably won’t be shaving much
• Because of the women’s movement of the early 20^th century and child labor laws, I will still have to cook or clean something

You get then point, I hope. There are many cons to the whole idea of polygamy but there are some benefits:

Pros

• Sex with multiple women

Well that is really it! I think the pros out-weigh the cons!  We men are such simple creatures.

In reality, I think it would be a good idea only if I can be the undisputable religious “prophet” of a mass amount of people. That would be cool. I can imagine being the supreme ruler of a community of people that just worship me in every way.  I would just be the coolest leader.  I would be sure that all of the women show me affection and swoon over everything I do or say. The men would just have to step aside when they see me. Children would not be allowed to look at me of course, unless I speak to them which would be rare. I would allow people to do whatever they wanted as long as it didn’t interfere with my own prosperity. Wow…I would be awesome. Is anyone willing to join me? Hahahaha

Ok enough of me dreaming, my 3 year just pissed all over my bathroom!
