Did you see this new reality series on TV? Some guy in Utah has married 5 women.He has 24 kids to them. He spends 1 night a week with each one.
 
What was this guy thinking?? 
 
I knew poligamy was legal in Utah.I didn't think anyone actually did it...and 5 wives. Can you imagine that 5th marriage proposal? He must be a really busy guy.

With an average of 5 kids per wife, the wives will be spending their days changing nappies, etc. and not working.
That leaves him supporting 29 people and 6 homes...  unless he's head of MS or Apple he aint gonna have a job that can do that, so he'll be sat on his arse watching tv while counting the welfare cheques...
 
So no,  he isn't a busy guy...

I wondered the same thing Karyn, how he did it......my first thought was that the TV show itself is probably lucrative. A few of his wives  have jobs. I don't know how they would have much time to work with that many kids and all of the work that would make.
 
He owns a construction business. On one of the vids he says that their grocery bill is 4000 american dollars a month. That is even more in euros.
 
 

I didn't think it was legal anymore.  I never got polygamy in the first place.  One set of in-laws is bad enough. 

In an unrelated story, a Utah man has just won an Olympic Gold medal in Apologizing. His wives accepted the medal on his behalf and said that they would present it to him as soon as he woke up. They said that he typically collapses into a coma on Valentine's Day and doesn't wake up for at least a month. They were sure he should have time to appreciate the medal once he got caught up on a backlog of chores.

Why don't you ever hear about a woman with five husbands?

Good question....
 
 
Because it's usually the man who asks for her hand in marriage? ....and....
 
 
They can only handle one of us  and even that's a lot.

My wife proposed to me....and I wouldn't have said yes to any other....and strange enough but true, there were more.
 
 
 
 
I probably wouldn't have said yes to her but she called and asked me while I was on a fishing trip at Lake Powell, I was so drunk/stoned I didn't even know until I got back to town. 1975. Best move I ever made and can't even claim I knew what I was doing.

Now that I Am single I like it. I was married once for 38 years. Now ......No attachments. Just a tractor license
