Interesting studies have been done on nonmonogamous parents with children. Not many concrete conclusions have been reached yet, but there is some interesting information. One thing I hadn't thought of is that many (even most?) parents in the U.S. today are effectively nonmonogamous, because so many are divorced and are dating, or there are stepparents, so many if not most children effectively have more than two parents. They wouldn't consider themselves "poly," but in the experiences of their children, they essentially are.
