My potential roommate has a 11 year old son. Should I sign a lease with her?

Hi

I'm a 25F in Naperville, looking for roommates. I work from office pretty much every day, come home and after resting for 30-45 mins, start work again. I do prefer solitude since I'm always thinking about work. I've gotten good at setting boundaries. Although, I tend to like having another person in the house, even if we're not talking all the time.

I'm currently speaking to a single mom with an 11 year old son. Mom seems okay ( a stranger so one can only know someone so well) but she has an 11 year old which makes me a bit hesitant to be roommates with her.

Ofc, it depends on the specific people but what do you all think? Any success/horror stories?
