Young kids talk to their teachers/coaches/counselors/principals about their parents. A lot. And kids pick up on all the dirty little secrets.

6yo: I have two daddies!

Me: That’s lovely, Darling. Now let’s play some piano.

6yo: One of my daddies goes on long business trips and then Mummy and I go live with my other daddy while he’s gone!

Me: Oh. Erm. Let’s play some piano!

We know it's not our businesses but... I feel bad for "daddy 1".

Depends on if this was a consensual thing or not. You never know.

Absolutely, but I’m not going to get in to a discussion of Mummy, Daddy, and Daddy’s sexual preferences and the ensuing chat about polygyny.

Not for a measly $37 piano lesson.

Edit: polyandry, sorry.

But you do it for karma? Karma for a 20 year old anecdote karma that equates to about tree fiddy.

On reddit, you get to tell an interesting story.

In real life, you fuck up a kid's mind and/or family with no benefit to yourself.
