My ex! I never thought I’d see this on shower thoughts. Her lesbian parents got a sperm donor and then later divorced and re-married. All 4 of them are pretty shitty people though and kinda fucked her over mentally >

Cool!
Oh. >

Cool... Oh divorces with children involved >

Very unrelated but on the wrap-up of EXU calamity (a dnd actual play show) two of the cast talked about how they thought for a bit to have their characters have had children before divorcing as backstory to the show, but decided firmly against it bc there is a funny dynamic in the bickering between a divorced couple, but there's nothing funny about a divorced couple with kids >

Hey, Critter. 
Contrast the humor (and some drama) between Sam and Aabria vs the gut-wrenching drama for Travis and Louis. >

/r/dadjokes would like to remind you that everyone has four fathers >

I don’t get it >

Lesbian couple have kids then divorce, they then remarry women so four moms >

I have 3 moms, I'm kinda rarer.
Mom and dad, then divorced cuz mum's a lez.
I now have mom, her wife, dad, his wife. >

Wow, what a rare background! Would you mind me asking how this felt for you? Were you old enough to understand what happened…? I imagine divorce is never easy on kids, but I was genuinely curious about your perspective. Regardless of whether you reply, I hope you are doing well, fellow redditor! >

Hey, thanks for the interest!
I was 9 when my parents divorced and the reason was never hidden from me. This was back in '97, and in Italy, so it was definitely unheard of. Like all kids, I had no trouble understanding that my mom liked women and it never felt "strange".
Everything else was rough, but I always say that it was rough because my parents were divorced and we all know it can be pretty tough on kids. The reason of the divorce never really played a part in this.
Surprisingly, I NEVER got bullied because of this. I got bullied for a LOT of reasons (geeky, unpopular etc) but never for having a lesbian mom, and it was a known fact.
Also, I'm very proud of how my father handled everything. He took a pretty big hit and it took him a long time to stand up again, but he never showed this to his children and never tried to put our mom in a bad light. >

How's your relationship with your step-mothers? >

It's... ok.
I was not blessed with wonderful step moms, I have to admit. Now that I'm much older we do have a nice relationship, we see each other pretty frequently, but growing up I definitely felt both me and my sister weren't really welcome and wanted by them.
When I said the divorce was rough, this was one of the reasons. But I'm glad we can now be happy. As for my mom and dad, they were never on good terms after the divorce and now don't have any kind of relationship anymore. Last time they saw each other was at my wedding 3 years ago and they were civil... :) >

Life is already so complex, it seems you have a an extra layer of complexity in yours, wow… Thank you so much for sharing, I hope things only get better for you from now on.. ❤️ >

I know a set of twins with 4 moms.  Lesbian couple used a sperm donor to have the twins, they divorce 3 years later.  Both moms get remarried to new wives.  They all get along and coparent well, despite the divorce. >

If everyone is happy, it's not fucked up. >

Tell me you're homophobic without telling me you're homophobic lol >

Wow, incredible levels of homophobia. Not only are you homophobic, but you also say people who aren’t homophobic are the problem. You don’t like gay people, nor do you like people who think gay people should be treated like everyone else. What an incredibly shitty person you are. >

Ah yes, you have nothing against gay people, you just think their lifestyle is abnormal, and it’s wrong for them to raise children, and anyone who thinks differently is the problem. I heard you. Sounds like you are in serious denial about your extremely bigoted beliefs. >

this would make for a great magical girl anime where a kid with four moms accidentally turns them into a squad of middle-aged magical heroes after accidentally bringing home a magic amulet from a toy store >

This just kinda sounds like Steven universe with a small twist and extra steps. >

The twist is you are also your mom >

And you are also your own grandma >

Who is also your mom. >

M8 I never saw Stevens universe but this description makes it sound way more fucked up than my previous understanding of the general plot >

I have a bio mom with a wife (step mom 1), my bio dad has a new wife (step mom 2), and wife's mom (mother in law) so I have 4 mom's 😎 >

Delete this before pornhub sees it. >

It's too late I am afraid. Vigorously takes note >

4? Those are rookie numbers. My dad is on his 5th marriage. Just think of the possibilities of someone having 2 moms just like my dad! >

My fiancé. 
Biological mom, biological moms ex-girlfriend when he was a youngin. Moms ex-girlfriends long-term partner (ex) who is like a step mom. Biological moms current soon to be wife. 
I don’t have a biological mom, but I have a dad. 
He gets a father figure, I get 4 mommas. It’s a nice trade off. >

This sounds like the plot of a sitcom or something >

How I met your mothers? >

Me, bio mom, original MIL, MIL and Step MIL. They are the best moms. My original MIL has even taken on my new husband as her son, she says we are her bonus kids. So he has 4 moms too I guess. >

Now imagine if they were all lesbians! That's 8 mothers >

The Steven Universe hack >

Combining into one giant mother >

Motherzord instead of Megazord >

I feel like there could be some fairy tale story in there where all 4 moms promised the child to different witches and antics ensue >

6 seasons and a movie >

I do! Bio mom, step mom, and because my biological family disowned me, 2(lesbian) adopted moms! >

I have a biological mother (had), a foster mother, a step-mother, and my bf’s mother who has sort of been a mother to me too. >

Sometimes I just scroll through my feed and gotta do a double take on what I just read >

Mean while hitman was born by five dads with no mom included >

Has the “Other-Mother”, the belle dame from Coraline been counted yet? >

At one point my brother had 4 dads. He married a girl whose dad was gay and married and her mom was remarried, plus he had my dad. Then he got divorced and my dad died so now he’s got no dads. >

I have three moms. My mom and dad divorced in 7th grade. Dad remarried a few years later so I have one stepmom. Mom remarried a few years after that so I have two step moms. All three moms have been in my life as maternal figures so I’ve always thought of them as mother figures. I have one mother, and two other moms. Honestly wouldn’t trade it for anything else - being raised by 3/4 present parents that are women have been instrumental in my upbringing, approach to life, and moral compass. >

My best friend's ex has 4 moms - lesbian moms who divorced when he was young and both ended up remarrying, so Mom 1 Stepmom 1 Mom 2 Stepmom 2. >

I saw this girl on TikTok who’s parents separated, her mom remarried another woman, then her bio dad transitioned into a woman and married a woman as well, making her have 4 moms >

it's probably 5 when you assume, the 4 would've adopted rather than one of them get impregnated >

In an age of in vitro fertilization why would you assume this? >

This is biologically possible due to ✨science ✨.  Splice that egg 4 ways, and pop in the wiggly boy and you have a child with 5 biological parents. 
Splice it a few more ways with DNA from all the top athletes, geniuses, and top performing combat soldiers and you have the start of Dark Angel and the manticore program. 
Spice it is with some cat DNA and you’ll have a main character for your IRL anime. >

Know someone with four moms, three grandma's, and her and her sisters are lesbian- AND her brother is gay
It was whiplash hearing it the first time
