RAISING children takes a village and one married couple's unique set-up proves just that. The parents revealed they are in a "closed polyamorous quad" with another couple, with all four bringing up their kids together under one roof. In their viral video, TikTok user Taya Hartless (@polyfamory) broke down the dynamic in her family home.

She explained that she and her husband Sean had never been involved in polygamy but became interested in the idea after "a few years" of marriage. They took interest in the lifestyle while watching the TV show Shameless, which featured a throuple storyline.

However, the couple soon realised single women were hard to come by in the swinging community. Instead, they decided to meet up with another couple, Tyler and Alicia Rodgers. At first, the couples would meet up half way between their home towns, making 12 hour round trips to switch partners.
Their first night together, they attended an event before splitting into separate hotel rooms. When it was time to go to sleep, they switched back to their spouses. Eventually, both pairs realised they "wanted more and more" and decided to introduce their children.
Now they all live under the one roof, raising their five children all together. Taya explained that each night the two men switch bedrooms, however she and Alicia remain metamours, meaning they aren't romantically or sexually involved. "I love her as the mother of my children," Alicia told their TikTok viewers.
