I personally would not have a kid with a friend, but I can see the appeal in raising a child communally. I was raised by two parents (who are still together), but I was also raised by my extended family. It's a cultural thing, Nigerian families seem to have no boundaries and really subscribe to the whole 'it takes a village to rear a child' ideology and so my brothers and I grew up knowing we had - and still have - an excellent support network (outside our parents) around us. I think this is the advantage of raising a child communally, especially if it's done right.
