I am a single mother of 2 (ages 9 and 11) and am plannning to move into a 4 bedroom house with my best friend. she has no kids but has 2 small dogs. the rent is $2,250.00 I am trying ot figure out how we should splitt the rent. I have not discussed $ arrangments with her. but she knows that I would like it if both of my kids each have their own room. She also knows that I am willing ot pay more money than her since we will have 3 rooms. The most I can afford right now is about$1,300.00 since i have many more expenses that she does. This means she would be paying $950.00. Does that sound fair to offer? Would it be too much to then also ask that I get the Master bedroom? I plan to have my kids share thius bathroom with me and not the guest bathroom. I love my friend and don't want to be unfair... it is just a bit tuffer for me since I have child care expensess, car, needs for my kids... We will be splitting the utilities in 1/2. i spend most of my time at work or at my kids sport activities. Just need someone's outside opinion.
