Dada always doing nursery run, is he single?

[ByDandyTurtle]

Aibu in thinking he must be single as I never see a woman drop of the child

I want to approach him but unsure

lol my DH does all drop offs and pick ups.

Good grief, how many Sports Days does your nursery hold, if there's a different one for 3 year olds and 3 and a half year olds?
🤣🤣🤣

My Brother in law does all the nursery drop offs and pick ups and does all the events, my SIL is a teacher she isn’t allowed to take time off during term time, she works full time, BIL works part time in his own business whilst their little one is in nursery which she attends term time only.
There could be loads of reasons why he’s only ever the one that seems there

No no no, my husband did all the nursery runs, I only did two school runs for my youngest in the whole of primary school.
'Mama' is likely keeping this country going in some job with zero flexibility.
Hands off.

Oh you’re one of those Mums! You actually believe school teachers and staff have 12 weeks off. How sweet!

In the real world, some Dads simply do the drop offs - there are many possible reasons; and teachers don’t get 12 weeks off - they get 12 weeks of none pupil contact but not 12 weeks off.

Seriously OP, consider some counselling to work on your ideas about relationship, and your boundaries in general.

This man is a complete stranger to you. You have no shared conversation and no shared history. At all. He drops off his child at the same nursery as you drop off your child. That's it.

Just because you want to date doesn't mean it's right for this man or anyone else to date. You are separate people.

You should have no idea where this man goes after he leaves nursery, nor how he gets there, nor whether he passes any coffee shops on the way. No We, no Our, no speaking for him in any way.

There is a boundary where you end and other people begin. Get back inside it.

Why do you even ask us if you are going to shoot down any answer saying he may not be single??

And do you know his name? Simple SM reccie should tell you what the deal is

I’m a teacher so my dh does all the drop offs and pick ups. It’s very rare that I can go to stay and plays or sports do although I do try.

The only way you’ll know is by chatting to him more and suggesting meeting up/ swapping numbers etc.

My dh does almost all the school runs. His job is flexible, whereas mine isn't. He did the settling in sessions and sports day last year simply because nusery only let us know a few days before and I had work already booked in. He does the stay and play sessions too as he can take an hour out of the day and work till later.

You could be direct and ask or maybe mention co parenting or single parenting and see how he responds?

I would just gradually chat more to him. I often very quickly say my husband… just so people know. My DH has often done all the drop offs and pick ups due to our jobs. No harm in being friendly at the end of the day he may well be single and if he is interested it will quickly show.

Or invite for a play date at soft play 😂
Is it ur child’s bday soon? See if a mum showed up then?

Ugh I would find it really creepy and weird to be approached at nursery/school pick up/drop off. I'm there for my kids not for some random parent to hit on me. Honestly, if you want to date join dating sites/find a hobby or whatever. Don't date parents from the same nursery/school. If it doesn't work out you have to see them every day.

My husband did all the nursery runs because the nursery was on a business park next to his office. I worked 20 miles in the other direction. There must have been a lot of 'single' dads dropping off there because the companies on the park were very male dominated.

Oh settle down.

OP does he wear a ring or anything. Have you made eye contact?

My partner does nursery drop off. Time I did drop off I got asked for ID, staff didn’t know me

So you looked up the man's child's birthday, on 'the wall?' Why?

I could not have told you the birthdays of my DC's schoolmates, apart from 3 or 4 very close friends who she'd known for several years or more. Knowing a random child's birthday, who you don't know, (after 'looking it up on the wall') is extremely odd, and stalkerish! 😬

OP going after him 🥰🤪

My DH does all the nursery runs as it’s on his way to work so makes sense.

On the contrary, I agree with @Stravaig

You'd hope they've at least made eye contact given that OP has wished the mother of his child dead.

Approach him how? For what? Why? What does him being single have to do with you approaching him? Are you suggesting you try to hook up him or something?
Totally bizzare.

The misguided view that people can belong to each other like property really brings out the nutters.

Desperate.

Just invite them over for a playdate and then you can see if he arrives with a wife or you can ask about child's mum in a normal way at the playdate.

Big daddy .

😆

She say she fancies him so yes, I think she’d like to hook up.
