"Tim’s
daughters were conceived via self insemination at home, and spend
part of each month with Tim and his male partner, who live very
close to the girls’ mothers. Tim shares the school runs, and phones
and emails his children throughout the week. “Nine years on, it’s
been a most successful and satisfying arrangement,” says Tim. “Each
couple are always welcome in the other’s home, and we sometimes go
on holidays together with the kids. We don’t let our egos get in the
way or argue about rights, because the people with the rights are
the children.”
