I have a dream...

... I would l like to move to a nice family house within the catchment area of a good primary (looking at se london in particular) with another single parent and her/his dc.
Me and my ds(6) are planning to move back to London by June. At present I am going to apply for school and work (such an over optimistic person me!) and want to be settle by June.
To start with I will have to rent as close as to the school as possible in order to get in I suppose, but I in the long term and would sell my single flat (I rent it out a the moment) and buy a garden flat/house and have enough spare room to keep sharing.
Told you I was dreaming.....
If there is another single parent out there that may even be remotely interested in the crazy idea please get in touch... I am dead serious!
If there is anybody who has tried out this setting would love your feedback too
And if you think of a more appropriate place to post this msg please advice.
I think it would be great to make contact with some like minded people and even if nothing comes out of it in terms of house sharing I am more than happy to make new friends
There are a few tread under this LP section that I can relate too (difficult to keep friendship goings, being stuck at home, lack of adult company and playmates for ds) but something I am certain is that it is down to me to make a change for the better for me and my ds before itr is too late (ie miserable sad old cow as a mum)

I think it's a great idea..but there are many things to consider...moving in with strangers could be problematic.

I would post in Am I being Unreasonable to get some opinions and maybe you will get more attention too..and some good advice.

Oh and you're not being silly...you're working out a way to get what you want...and I suspect you will get it too. Xmas Smile

There have been some threads like this with lots of people saying that they are interested in house shares like this. I'm trying to remember the name of the thread, perhaps someone else can remember? Try searching in lone parents for house share? Smile

EVOlucy if you can remember that would be great, I will try the search
Shana INWYM and I can foresee all sort of issues especially to begin with mainly in term of trust
Ideally it should be a friend of a friend of a friend (no guarantee of success though) and for sure plenty of time to meet, discuss, have play dates for kids...
I do not know ANY single mum beside myself but I do know the world is full of us!

I think its a great idea and if it had suited me I'd be up for it - good luck in finding someone

need to bump this up
I am very happy to see that an other single mum on this forum is getting a lot of reply (lauree) for housesharing
I guess it is something to do with the area she is living in which I do love very much but it is not where I can/want to live right now
I know have a clearer idea what I need doing wrt schools (thank you Admission) and I could actually afford renting from April
Anyone interested from London South East?
