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

I actually think predatory is a pretty apt description here. You're sounding very very stalkerish.

God forbid a women works.

My dp is a sahd.

I wonder how single he looks to the casual observer.

If I changed my work place or even my hours DH would do every drop off and pick up, and probably all the events, because nursery is 2 minutes from his work. He’s still not single.

You know there are many women who are higher earners / ‘bread winners’

A dad at our school does every drop off, pick up, sports day etc because the mum works in a hospital and can’t get the time off.

He could be married. He could be gay. The mum could be dead, who knows?!

Lol starkerish?

So seeing someone in your normal.daily activity is a stalker.... Weird.

When my neice was little my brother didn't work but my sister in law did, because she earns a lot more than him. He did all the drop offs, playmates, etc.

He was definitely not single!

My husband used to do all childcare and school drop offs as he didn’t start work til after I did so it made sense

18 months be done all the drop offs, she's never attended sporta day or stay & plays

I never did any of those with 4 of mine as I worked in schools. You can't get time away from other peoples kids to do your own kids stuff when you work in a school...

Schools are also not 52 weeks of the year

Do you fancy him

She might be a teacher. Like my DIL.

Most nurseries aren’t open for 52 either

You don't think It's stalkerish how much attention you've paid this person and the conclusions you've come to and the fact you've made a thread about it...

Why is it desperate? What is a 'non desperate' scenario to attempt to find romance? (Or whatever)

I’m getting Kevin from Motherland vibes.

My DH did plenty of drop offs when DC were in nursery. If it wasn’t on my way to work DH would do the school run as he has more flexibility with work.

😂😅 He's a legend!!!

Schools are also not 52 weeks of the year

I'd bet money the kid isn't in nursery 52 weeks of the year...

Not everyone working in schools (plural in my case) gets all of the school holidays off.

A lot apparently.
Be on guard.😀

he might be single, he might not be. But what you’re describing is a mum not involved in nursery life, most likely to due to work as previous posters have said. If he was single, I’d still expect to see mum do pick ups/drop offs based on your weird logic

Maybe she’s going to ask him his thoughts on flags?

My experience is 25 years ago now but DH did the morning drop-offs for both DDs.

Nursery was at the uni where he worked. I taught in schools. Nursery opened at 8:45 so he could drop them then still be in time for a 9am lecture. I couldn't cross the city in time for an 8:45 lesson so it made sense. However, I invariably collected them. The only time he picked them up was when there was a security scare 2 weeks after 9/11 and they evacuated the building late morning. He collected them and they stayed in his office or the refreshment area until I finished (and read the text message).

In general, it's not socially acceptable to approach people in a setting that they have to go to, frequent regularly, and when they're trying to complete an errand/chore/task. This includes places like nursery pick up/drop off, gyms, commuting... It's not fair to make people uncomfortable in that way.

Just find out OP by striking a conversation and just ask. Once you find out you’ll know if he’s single. I’m guessing you find him attractive? If he’s not single… you can continue your life and move on. If he’s single crack on
