single parent houseshare

[Lauree]

I'm a single mum (40 something) with a six year old boy in central London. I'm a professional woman working four days a week, living in central London. I'd like to find another single parent to share with... and help each other out with the ups and downs of parenting.

contact me if you think you might be interested.

Honestly I have been thinking about it for a while now as there are not any specific site and there is obviously a gap in the market.
In particular with regard to the standoffish attitude to landlords in general when it comes down to single mother, it would be great if there was some kind of pre requisites and back up from an association kind of thing?.
I put in an offer that was accepted till they found out it was for myself and my son plus another single mum and daughter.... than it was not feasible anymore and they told me to much where and tear as a poor excuse! So I asked how different was it from being a family with 2 kids, It was a 2 bed house with lounge, separate kitchen and dining room, garden and shed....front garden off road car parking. Plenty for 2 adults and 2 kids disregarding who slept with who and where!
First time I have felt discriminated
Speak soon, let me know how serious you are about this ;-)

dear me what a poorly written post hope it makes some sense

Hi folks. I'm living in Brighton and looking for a new home. Interested in sharing with another single parent in the hope that we will be able to enjoy the bennefits of a bigger house and garden. I work for an advocacy charity and have a 12 year old son. Would like to find someone similar, male or female, open to ideas. Hope to hear from someone. Alice

Hello there.... I'm a 40 year old university lecturer single mum with a 3 year old daughter. Interested to find another single mum and child with similar values. We're both vegetarian and also into 'holistic' (for want of a better word) lifestyle as much as possible. I have environmental sensitivities and therefore have to follow an organic lifestyle and avoid pesticides and herbicides. I therefore have an active interest in all things green, especially as far as they relate to children. I think with the right people it could be a lot of fun, and would help to make a more interesting an 'whole' home for the little ones. It's potentially complicated for me though because of my health problems and ideally I'd like to find someone who would like a 'no shoe' house (mainly for health, but also aesthetic reasons!) , and who is also committed to a toxin-free lifestyle. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss further.

Aniluap, have you found a sharer yet? Perhaps we might share similar interests? And Eleanora, have you found a family to share your Devon house? I might be interested in discussing further at least on the short term. FOr the longer term, possible areas would be north London, or anywhere within commutable distance of central London. Brighton, Forest Row, Lewes, or other places in Sussex. Open to suggestion. Please, anyone interested, get in touch!!

onlyme1980..... might you be interested in discussing further? Please see my previous posting.....

Just found this website.... doesn't seem to be used by many people though.... hardly any entries of 2011.

SINGLE WORKING MUM LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TO HOUSE SHARE! :o)

We are all too aware of what a strain (and joy) lone parenting can be. Financial and living circumstances aside, it can be very hard emotionally. For me this manifests as loneliness in the evenings and little time to myself, out of the house.

According to gingerbread 1/4 of all children are being raised by a lone parent. I know there are plenty of you out there who will identify with where I am at the moment.

Is anyone out there willing to share a house with my 3 year old daughter and me in the KNOWLE/DORRIDGE/BALSALL COMMON/SOLIHULL area?

We would need a house with garden, seperate bedrooms and seperate rooms for our children.

I welcome any thoughts and look forward to hearing from you!

Hello we are looking to move into UK before the new school year
begins, I am an artist manager promoter and will not be able to commit
immediately until settled and sorted there although I do take my
work with me and plan to expand it by joining forces with another London agency
by introducing my artists roster for international, I have 2 pre teen
daughters whom are
Italian ? American, very smart tidy and responsible, and I am Cuban -
American, please let me know your
thoughts for this, this would be our first time in the UK, so you can
imagine what a life changing move this will be for all of us now
therefore we would appreciate some orientation there, can anyone help us?

Cheers

I am a soon to be part time student/ part time worker with 3 children, looking to move to Brighton or London, like a few others, I like to be environmentally friendly, gardening and so on. Quite what some of my friends call 'arty'.... As I have 3 offspring: 11, 8 and 6, we are already after a biggish place. But I think a larger place with others living in it would be even better. I love my present neighbours, who have 2 children but they are about to move. Living near/ with other parents who can help and be companions etc is surely the ideal solution for us lone parents... But you need people you get on with, obviously...

Hi, i am currently preparing to move down to London from the West midlands as i am starting to study part time for my degree at London College of Fashion in september. I have an eight year old son and am looking for a house share, we are tidy, fun, good cooks and i am willing to share child care, experience and company. Am willing to consider all areas of london but must be settled at the beginning of the new school year!! It would be brilliant to find not only a like-minded parent but children too to help my son settle quickly after the big move!!!

Hi Sarah
I suggest that you get an addres and apply for school asap, you will not be settle in any way shape or form not your child will be in school in september otherwise
Not sure if some areas are easier to give space for school / tranfer but in my experience its a nightmare and as a result my son has been out of school since 1 of june, just for you to know

Hi, I am moving to London at the end of September. I have a 10 year old daughter. I will be looking for a house share with like-minded single parents. I teach English as a foreign language and am widely travelled as a result. I am a British Italian and my daughter is a British Italian Maldivian but we are quite normal really! Ideally I would like us to live in central, north or west london. I have noted what has been said about getting a school and this is quite scary so I am trying to get organised. Would anyone like to join forces?

Hi I'm interested in a HOUSESHARE in or around FARNHAM, SURREY

I have a 10yr old son and wonder if there's anyone in the area who already has a house with extra space for us. Any ideas, please get in touch.

Alternatively if there are any single parents who would like to coordinate efforts and find a new home together - it would be great to hear from you.

Best wishes to everyone looking for houseshares!

Hi.
DS aged 4 and I are just south of Norwich. We are only 20 minutes from the station which has direct trains to London / Cambridge.
We have a double room and a small single.
The house is opposite the junior school and a 5 minute walk from the infants and high school.
I work in healthcare in Great Yarmouth.
I am a domestic goddess more in the line of Nigella than Kim and Aggie. My house is a home, not a show home and I do have 2 slightly batty siamese :)

i am wanting to move down from up north ideally to Brighton but i am open minded. I have a daughter who is 6 and love the idea of house sharing and having some company of a like minded female!
I have just come across this site so any ideas would be gratefully recieved!
Thanks adele

hi did you find somewhere in Brighton?
