Threesomes, foursomes and moresomes

First of all, you should be ashamed of your mind going in the gutter.

Now that I have the obligatory japes and hijinks out of the way, time for the serious topic.

As a guy with his mind focused on the practical aspects of plural marriage and the day to day life for polygamists, I am curious about the site's opinion about not hiding the family dynamic in public.
What I mean by this is a scenario where the family...minimum two wives obviously and let's say 2+ kids...is out in public and walking together. Let's say it is an event for the kids, say going to a family farm where they run a pumpkin patch with corn maze and animals to feed etc. Are you as a family holding off on the body language that says we are all a marriage and a family or are you going all in with no concern for the public eye?

In my own case, the most I have been out in public with in a given time was two wives and a fiance. Before children entered the equation.
We were +/- neutral. In that a keen observer would see but I was not walking with all of us interlinked or some such.

Looking back one it, I don't wish I had been over the top and putting on some silly show but I do regret having simply not considered a potential audience.

It sounds simple but it is a moderately complex issue depending on the family, the circumstances and the location. So I curious about other families feedback.

Most people won't think twice when looking at you. Most people are getting on with their lives and not even paying attention. If they see a man with two women and a bunch of kids they'll think it's a husband, wife, and her sister with various kids belonging to different people. If you're going to a pumpkin patch, it's not like you're going to be making out, you'll be busy looking at pumpkins and rounding up kids, and finding kids lost in the maze, and helping them feed animals.
And people will also make assumptions without any affection whatsoever. My husband and his sister often get mistaken for husband and wife. They go the same events together, and take their children, who look similar to each other. It's understandable people make that assumption.
I just don't see that it matters. I don't think people are paying much attention, and I think that we overthink it.
