In 2020, a single parent balancing work, studies, and childcare found solace in shared living arrangements. Moving in with a friend allowed for a more spacious and better-equipped home, providing the opportunity for outdoor activities for her son, previously constrained due to lack of living space. This experience reflects a growing trend, as seen with other single parents like Lenine Bourke. Both women emphasize the economic and emotional benefits of cohabitation, realizing not just financial relief, but also enhanced quality of life for their children.
For the first time in my son's life he had space for hide and seek and backyard birthday parties.
My experience is mirrored in many ways by Lenine Bourke, a renter from Brisbane who co-parents her 12-year-old with her ex-partner and solo parents her six-year-old.
