tornado
."
Cowboy Colton now spends alternate nights with his two wives, which they both agree is one of the "hardest" parts of the marriage.

Tami birthed one of the children, whilst Sophie birthed the other two.
Determined to make her brood bigger, Tami is now using IVF, and revealed that she struggles with the fact that Sophie popped out two children in quick
succession
, whereas she has found it more difficult.
"If you're sleeping with the same man, you think it's got to be something to do with you", she said.
The trio agree that it can be really hard to live together, but added that it's all worth it because their children make their plural family feel "complete."
