Has anyone been watching the new show Sister Wives? I have but I'm not sure what to think about it. On one hand I have been fascinated with the FLVS ever since that big raid. Not in a "want to join them" fashion more in a "how on earth do they do that" fashion. I'm been a huge fan of Big Love and my kids used to watch it with me so when this one came out I thought nothing of my 16 year old daughter watching to. Until half way through the show she had commented on how they looked so main stream, then there was a "Oh well that's not so bad" and I think my head exploded.
I'm a slightly over protective mom sometimes so I am looking for honest opinions here. Do you think by watching shows where the polygamist lifestyle is shown so normalised with our kids can do any harm?
Also do you think it is wrong for polygamy to be illegal (between consenting ADULTS) in a country that is all about religious freedom?

I thought it was not wrong, because if you give the correct directions to your child I think he will not take that the wrong conclusions from what he saw. So all there is on what you explain to your daughter.
And polygamy could not be anything illegal, although often considered unfair by some people. Because, until recently it was still legally valid.
