For the sake of your kids though I hope you don't show them this side. It's going to mess them up when they start dating. They could end up hurting alot of people.
Oh believe me, we're hiding this poly stuff from our kids and almost all our friends and neighbors. We live in a very socially conservative area, and most wouldn't appreciate our lifestyle choices. When W goes out she usually waits until the kids are asleep. Occasionally, if she leaves before then, it's something like "Mommy is going to work" or "Mommy is going to see some friends". Very vague stuff like that.
There's a lot of variance out there in the poly world regarding when/if to tell your children of your lifestyle. Some start telling their kids right away (especially if the partners live in your home!). Others wait until they're adolescents. Still others wait until their children are adults.
