When dating a single mom

[Anonymous]

Men looking for a life partner and dating a single mom, do you assume you’d likely have to move in with her if you cohabitate, due to her kids schooling?

You'll have the custody arrangement to contend with and any limitations regarding the distance she is permitted to move. However, that doesn't mean you couldn't find a new house to move into together. It's going to be really fact specific so hard to generalize.

Single moms don’t have custody schedules to worry about. Divorced ones or ones with baby daddies might. But not single moms.

I’m defining single mom as a mother who is not married. I’m personally divorced

Probably. Or you get a new place together in the school zone. I would not move my kids’ school.

I’m a single mother by choice and have 2 kids. If I were to marry, I would want him to move in with us so the kids school and friends wouldn’t be disrupted. Me getting married and having a man in the house would be disruptive enough.

Personally I wouldn’t cohabitate or marry anyone until the kids are out of the house. My kids are 12 and 15, it’s just been us for a long time.

Who's the question geared at, the moms or the potential partners? As a single mom, I don't think guys are thinking that hard about who'd have to move. Frankly, I don't think guys dating non-mothers think too hard about, for example, whose career will determine where they might live. I don't know if I ever want to live with another adult, but if I did, figuring out schools zones is probably not even in the top 10 things I'm concerned about. My place is small, so I imagine that, were I to find someone to live with, I'd move to a larger place than wouldn't cause my kid to switch schools.

Most people don’t use this definition.

I was dating a single mom last year, and I was thinking seriously about first moving to her school district (we both rented at the time), and then in a few years buying a house with her which would be large enough for everyone.

I don't know what happened. She broke up with me.

I would not move in with her unless we were getting married. The kids deserve better.

If I'm a single mom, I wouldn't move anywhere and wouldn't let anyone move in with me. My focus wouldnt be on dating but on little people i brought into this world. I wouldn't any conflict of interest.
