Dating a school parent

There's been a few threads on here saying how could you flirt with children around and others that say how lovely to meet another single parent.

Assuming you both are single is it morally wrong to flirt or ask them out on the school run?

Assuming you are both single (& there's no doubt about that fact), then the answers to your questions are:
(1) no, it's not morally wrong to flirt but you will raise eyebrows, unless you are very discreet and the censorious ones will have a field day and
(2) no, it's not wrong to ask them out on the school run.
Go for it! Smile

Oh god I couldn’t imagine anything worse, imagine it didn’t work out then you would be stuck seeing them every day

What year? From reception seems a long time to be on the school run. Year 6 take your chances

Not at all morally wrong if both single.

However you would have to be crazy to risk the drama of a failed playground relationship. It could get really messy or ackward.

Good point

I've seen this happen a few times from the school perspective. On the back of that, it's not something I would do. Too much potential fall out for the children.

Adults can avoid each other on the school run; children can't ignore each other for 6 hours a day in school when they've previously been forced to spend weekends etc together as 'family'...
