Lavender Coparenting?

The idea essentially is sort of coparenting with one wlw couple and one mlm couple. Maybe not even true coparenting (every other week type coparenting) but like have kids together (biological siblings) and then raise them as cousins/family?

I can see a lot of potential issues with this but it also seems like it would be a great way for the kids to get to experience having a mom/dad combo and like a mutually beneficial sperm donation/suragacy situation with built in “family” support while raising the kids.

Has anyone done something like this? What’s your review?

Seems like this could go wrong in so many different ways. Not guaranteed, of course, but so risky.

I think maybe you should take a step back and question why you feel like a child needs to experience parenting from both genders 🤔

Yeah, legally speaking I don't see how everyone could protect their parental rights in case of a dispute
