Hi all. I am new here on this website and noticed some threads on this but wanted to make my own. So I am a 21 year old single mum to a 2 year old and we both live alone. I am currently measuring up my options for potentially house sharing with another single parent in the same or similar situation as me. The reason for considering this option is mainly because of bills although a single parent and having no job it doesn't exclude me from having to pay loads of money towards bills and if you are wondering yes I am on benefits but all I get basically goes towards bills and we barely manage some months which is sad. I have the option of going back living with my mum which would honestly resolve my problems as I actually would be able to save as well as help her with things like cooking, giving her money here and there and cleaning around but this actually would also cause more problems because we don't have the best relationship and I was taken out of there for a reason (yeah I didn't choose to move out but that's a whole different story) anyway.. the point is although an option that would solve my problems, its a no. If anyone can relate to this feel free to comment and also if you are interested in the possibility of house sharing private message me and let's discuss. Now in no way shape or form am I trying to live a free life because I am aware bills are something we all have to deal but it is more of a problem for some than others and house sharing with someone might help I am not sure because we could help one another and even things like childcare we could use the help of each other. But of course I am just thinking at the moment it might turn out not being the best but its worth considering with someone trustworthy and safe.
