Its a hard one.
I'm 21 and i had to tell my parents too...i had a idea in my mind, i wanted to lay it out on the table and be truthful about it all. But i ended up sitting at the dinner table with them while we where eating tea, and said well hey your going to be grandparents!
They just looked at me and said.."oh your pregnant" and a real quick discussion about it and the subject was changed.
I wanted to give them the truth about everything but in reality it just doesnt happen.
But the advice i give to you, the sooner you tell them the better. Don't hold it off because it is only going to make it worse on yourself in the end. ↑ |
How old is your bf, if you don't mind me asking?
I agree though the sooner you tell them the better. Also remember they will need time to digest the info and then maybe you can talk some more. ↑ |
| it was hard to tell my parents too, i'm 20 and i dont have a bf. i told them each sepreately which made it easier on me. they actually took the news way better than expected ↑ |
| I guess you could do what I did and bawl like a baby---:) JUST KIDDING! I was 19 with my first---I was out of the house at college but I was thinking of myself as a 14 year old kid or something. My plan was to tell my mom first and have a grown up conversation about it---I ended up CRYING my eyes out. Which made her very sympathtic etc...but didn't make me really look like someone ready to have a baby. All in all it turned out fine and she was actually very glad I didn't just run off and have an abortion, etc. So do the opposite that I did---just be happy and confident and show them you are ready! ↑ |
| Wow...i'm 19 with my first and i did exactly what you did Double_K.....with the WHOLE cryingmy eyes out thing when trying to tell her like an adult....and she said she was proud that i told her and it must have been very hard for me...she wasnt thrilled but she was understanding ↑ |
| I'm in the same situation.. Except I'm 19 and married. But my Mom was a young Mom and told me I better not get pregnant and if I did it would be the last time she and I speak. ↑ |
| hes actually 50- there is a huge difference in age but we dont notice it and even my friends dont even notice....my parents live in a different state which is why im finding it harder, I am engaged to this guy and I couldnt even tell them that! :( everytime I ring my parents up they are llike so happy and im scared that its going to end in a HUGE fight! man my baby better not have to be scared to tell me! LOL ↑ |
| well i'mmarried too..my parents have never met my husband and they didnt approve of my marriage.... ↑ |
| yeah I know my parents wouldnt approve of this marriage and not that I really care coz i do truely love him and at the end of the day im an adult but then at the end of the day im still their little girl i never ever thought it would be this hard to tell my parents exciting news! ↑ |
