A exasperated mum has been warned that her partner is "deceiving" her as she struggles to make ends meet financially.
The worried mum-of-two took to online social forum, Mumsnet, to explain that her partner had moved into her home last year to help out with her two children.
The boyfriend had initially wanted nothing to do with his first-born child, now five, but has since decided to come back into their lives - and they now have a second kid together at five-months-old.
