WHEN it comes to raising children, it can take a village.
One parent took all the help she could get after entering a polyamorous relationship.
They shared the unique set up with social media users, revealing that their open marriage involves multiple partners.
In total, Dana Hare, 31, is in a relationship with five different people.
One of these relationships is an open marriage to their husband Eli, 33.
Despite their other connections the pair are raising Dana’s child, who came from a previous marriage.
“We’re not your average couple – we’re polyamorous,” explained Dana, who hails from Nashville, USA.
”Yeah, my life is a little unconventional – but it’s filled with love, creativity and so much joy.”
Dana also revealed that the couple are dating their best friend Kaylee.
They have both labelled this close friend as their “life partner”.
Balancing a marriage and multiple other relationships might seem overwhelming to some people.
However, Dana hasn’t let that stop them from exploring a new connection with a woman named Morgan.

Due to their uncommon lifestyle Dana has received hate online but is determined to “debunk all of the myths”.
They have set out to normalise the lifestyle using their social media platform.
”I do my best to educate on polyamory based on my own personal life experiences,” they said.
“We’re here to break down the stigma of polyamory.”
Dana also addressed the concept of parenting while in a polyamarous relationship.
They used more socially accepted comparisons to highlight how common it is for multiple people to be involved in raising a child.
“You can love multiple children. You can love multiple parents, especially if your parents get divorced and remarried,” they pointed out.
“So why can’t you love multiple partners?”
