Ever dated a nursery/school parent?

[bluemoons3]

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if anyone has dated another nursery or school parent? I've name changed for this as it could be outing.

I've been friendly with a nursery dad who does nursery pick up/drop off for the past year, we walk a similar route and the kids play so we got chatting & exchanged numbers about 8 months ago but only in the past couple of months did he ask if I'd like to go out for some food and a drink (we didn't see it as a date) but we massively hit it off and had a kiss that night. We're both single before anyone thinks there's any foul play.
Anyway we've been on a fair few dates now, he's absolutely lovely & an amazing dad. Am I playing with fire? Wondering if anyone has been through a similar experience 😂

I mean the kids are 4 so it wasn't exactly soon after for either of us, and we also both had partners who had affairs so not our choice to be single either 😩 but yes I'm fully expecting an ear full haha, just hoping someone has some experience! X

Go for it. A great natural way to meet someone. Don’t listen to the doom and gloom merchants who will pipe up. Good luck.

I did briefly - it didn't work out but not because he was a school dad - because he was boring!

It's also how my daughter's dad met his current partner, and they have been together for years now and seem happy as far as I can tell - he isn't faithful to her but that's not connected to the way they met - in practical terms having kids the same or similar age is a good thing, means you are at the same life stage.

Good luck!

No experience personally but it sounds lovely and I would just enjoy it and see where it goes

I went on a couple of dates with a school dad once, who faded me out after I shagged him. Oops. A bit awkward when I bumped into him on the playground, but I just acted all nonchalant about it and forgot about it a few months later!

Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not totally crazy for thinking this is nice 😂

Did you find it awkward after you called things off? Our kids won't be going to the same school which is a plus if it doesn't work out.
Shame your daughter's dad can't keep it in his pants 🙄 but it's nice to hear your experiences thank you! X

It does feel like a bit of a movie, I'm going to enjoy it for what it is and not think too much into it! X

Oh he was one of those! Glad you were ok seeing him after though that's one thing I've worried about. Luckily we've got past the sleeping together bit and the worst thing was after I had to go do nursery pick up and his ex was in front of me in the line and I was sure she'd smell him on me 😂😂

No experience but there was a couple who met like this at my DCs primary and it was really sweet. Me and DH had a bit of a gossip when we first noticed (have you seen x's mum and y's dad?! I am sure something is going on!) but a few years on it was just normal. I did worry a bit about the kids (in same class) if anything happened but not significantly! Just a passing thought.

Hope it goes well!
