Homelessness with a child

[Meganj95]

Hi guys I know it's not really the right thread but I'm getting desperate - long story short partner and I live in a desperate part of my parents house with our one year old - think a small annex type flat attached to the house. The other night me and him have had a row - petty - but ended up with a lot of shouting and he went to stay with his mum to calm down for a day or two. Now my parents are saying they don't want us here due to this row (and one or two way in the past). They've said I can stay with our daughter but he has to go - I obviously don't want to split from him OR have that decision made for me by someone that's not a part of our relationship so I've told them we will all just move out. Trouble is we have no money and no where to go. Can anyone offer up some advice? I have emailed our borough councils housing department to ask but no reply yet - we're in a london borough if that helps any.
Thank you

Do you think maybe you should listen to your parents based on your cheating argumentative partner? Maybe you should live separately and re think what’s best for your child and soon to be baby?

Only one thing you do here. You a mum. Your priority is your child. He moves out. You stay put in your parents house. You not homeless unless you choose to be.

Stay put.

Never, EVER disrupt the life of a child for anyone else, not even that child's father.

He will miss a safe home far more than he will miss listening you you arguing with his dad so loud your parents have intervened.

You're not homeless. Council won't be interested, therr are plenty of people who are actually homeless who need help

You even have to ask?

You made a child - they HAVE to come first. You have somewhere safe for them, why would you even consider moving out?

There isn't a bottomless supply of council housing you know! There are (too) many people who have NO choice. Your council will house them first.

Not intentionally homeless if family is split. Don't leave your mums, take advice from shelter before you approach the council, but do ask them for accommodation. Temporary accommodation can be very tough, so think carefully before leaving. Maybe housing association?

OP are you young or inexperienced or something?

You sound very naïve. Picture yourself in a single room with your child and partner. A shared bathroom down the hallway. No kitchen. One room with a bed and a cot. That's it.

Do you honestly think you will be happy spending all your days and nights in one room with your boyfriend? Can you not envisage the rows and the claustrophobia.

You really need to start acting like a parent rather than a petulant child.

If you have safe accommodation with your parents please stay where you are with your child.

From your previous posts you have another house but it was being refurbished?

You are not homeless. And no London borough will find you involuntarily so because you want to live with your boyfriend. You stay put with your child and he lives with his mum. Unless you fancy a dodgy B&B in the Midlands or Newcastle or wherever for as long as the council sees fit. Your chances of getting a cozy flat for you and him and your child/children in a London borough under these grounds are slim to none.

Predictably, the OP hasn’t been back!

They are homeless if they can't be together and have no right to secure accommodation (tenancy)
Whether they will be high priority is another matter
