I don't have any issues with polygamy as long as everyone is a consenting adult. I was raised in a fairly boring nuclear family myself, which has since shattered and scattered.
I'm always skeptical when I see anyone claiming that this or that structure of a family is "right" or "wrong", we've all heard that phrase "It takes a village to raise a child" for a reason, despite the fact that most of us probably were not raised in something at the scale of a village.

If I had to rank the factors that help a child:
1. Values of the parent(s) that will be passed down to the child - most important, most helpful in life. A kid with lots of inherited money but a shitty value-system will still end up broke and alone eventually
2. Household income - usually better with 2 parents
3. Community/extended family - For a sense of belonging and productive/constructive socialization. This is where I personally see the “village” quote
