13-female & i rate high
my mom and her fiance have just decided that they would like to move in together B4 they get married. (which is sometime at the end of this year.) the lease on our apartment is up at the end of may, and my mom wants us (me, her and my lil' bro) to move in with them (him and his two kids). she says that she doesn't want to renew our lease on our house, b/c at the end of the year she would have to buy out of it b/c she will have to break the lease. his house is not big enough for all six of us to live in, so they have been doing some house hunting in his neighborhood. i have two problems with this:
#1. i am not comfortable with moving in with them right now. i don't really know hime or his kids that well.
#2. i don't want to move to his neighborhood, b/c then i would have to change school districts and leave all of my friends behind.
i have went to dinner with him and his kids. (his daughter is the same age as me.) and we try to do something "together" every weekend or every other weekend, but i feel like this is still not enough to make me comfortable with them. how do i tell my mom how i feel w/o hurting her feelings? i know that she deserves someone in her life that makes her happy, but at the same time i think i should have a say-so too. how do i convince her not to move?

You're right, your mom DOES deserve someone to put happiness in her life, but you should have some sort of say in it. I think you should just tell her exactly how you feel, but that maybe once you can get more comfortable with him AND his kids, you'll feel better about it. Tell her that you love the fact that she's found someone to love, but that you wish you could become more comfortable with "his part" of the family before moving in. And maybe throw in that if they do decide to get a house together, that it be in your school district so that you don't lose your friends. Make sure you're polite about it and stuff, and hopefully she will understand! hope i helped
