Now the two single moms are raising and homeschooling their six kids under age 16. She is a single mother to three kids who formed a "mommune" with her friend and colleague Jess Rodenburg, also a single mother to three kids. I needed more space and got an incredible deal on a four-bedroom house for $275,000. She's a single mom, too, also with three kids, ages 11, 9, and 7. Courtesy of Samantha SalemThe kids go up and down whenever they want, but we really haven't had problems respecting each other's space.
