[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have yet to meet a single mother who does not try to finagle some free childcare from anyone they know.[/quote]

That is BS. I actually work for a single mom. I do a live-in exchange for up to 14 hours per week, but generally only 10-12. Sure, sometimes I get annoyed by the kids, or her not picking up on the weekends like she is supposed to. But it is a GREAT situation overall. I think that if you are usually not home much anyways OP, that it should be a good way for you to have a place but not have to spend so much money for it. Like you said, you can move in with your boyfriend temporarily if needed until you can find something else, but I think it could work very well for you. If they know that you might not be around much other than for work, then I can't see them trying to ask for extra work (without paying) like others are suggesting. Also, I think they could benefit from it very much, as they will be getting the work from you and not actually having to see you that much either. All those families that love the idea but really couldn't think about having someone else live with them full time, sharing the living room and cooking in the kitchen each night (or sharing dinner with them), that is not what you are looking for. You eat out most nights it seems, are only there half the nights in the week, and when you are there, you are most likely to veg out in your room (out of sight). I would love to have a roommate like that! That works for me to help out, and then is hardly around... Who would want to take advantage of someone like that and cause them to move out? I would want you to stay for years.[/quote]
