I kive in a council property in a crap area of town. Some of you may remember threads about a small child saying she would kill my son and the fire brigade always being at on of the flats. So I was planning on moving to a private rent next year before ds goes to school so I could get him into a nicer one.
However, I am a single parent and I work part time. The thought of moving into a private rent at the moment scares me. I could use the money I would have to save for a deposit to update my flat. I could apply for an out of catchment school place which wont be to hard here. I would also like to have a full time job so I can pay towards my rent before I take on a huge increase. Lastly, I would like to save and take ds on a small holiday next year if we can afford it after 2 weddings and 2 hen weekends.
My mum went mad. She said im selfish and that I will just have to suck up living in a private rent even if it means I have to keep moving. Im on a list for a swap, Im going to join homeswappers and do anything else I can to move. I just dont want to go into a privare rental. AIBU?
