Thought I'd ask on here before I ring them and get left on hold for an hour.
I've posted about my situation before.
Me and dds dad have been separated for almost 5 years. Since separation he has lived with his mother. Due to lock down he has moved in with us to help look after dd whilst I'm at work (carer) as his mum/dd grandma didn't want dd in her house.
He's just started to get furlough and pays some gas and electric as 'board' but that's it.
He's been sleeping on the sofa the whole time and there's absolutely no way/chance of us getting back together as a couple.
We get on fine and it was either this or I'd have to give up work altogether.
I'm just about to renew my tax credits (and I know some of you will say I should have done this when he every first moved in but I didn't really think about it as didn't think it'd be going in this long and have been more concerned with dieing these past few weeks so forgive me for that) do I need to let them know? He's bearly a lodger never mind a partner, but then, he is dd father so I can imagine them not believing that.
It's shit, I don't want him there any more, he doesn't want to be there anymore but his mum won't have him back until the government says it's safe for households to mix and I need him/her for childcare. And no, he's far too childish/immature to get his own place. So it's my sofa or the Z-bed in my fucking space that want back anyway.
What's the best thing to do?
And please, no sarky responses. It's not needed and I'm on edge enough as it is right now.
