I am 21 weeks pregnant and my family is all being very supportive, I am not married but have been with my partner for over 5 years, one of my aunts who was also an unmarried mother and was 6 years younger then I am now when she had her child, has told me I should not be so vocal about my excitement and be a little ashamed that I am not married, I don't feel embarrassed or ashamed, but this aunt is talking smack about it to everyone in my family, any suggestions on how I should approach her to discontinue this behavior...  I feel like she is turning my family against me and ruining my excitement.

@lwolfe520 they dont judge me they love me! I said they havent been supportive. They push the marriage issue. I dont blame them being christain myself but its not up to them so i dont let them get to me:)

If your boyfriend's family is Christian they of all people shouldn't judge. That's sad :/ I hate when people say they are Christian but start judging everyone. That's up to God to judge. They should see your baby as a blessing.

I love the name kinsley!! Same here me and my love put our marriage plans on hold for the time being. I joke around and tell people imma test drive the car before i buy it lol. A baby is a huge stepp so its best we dont overwhelm ourselves! Im here whenever you need someone to talk to! :)

Exactly!!  We were planning our wedding like more then a year ago before I found out I was having Kinsley but when I found out I was pregnant I couldn't see my self spending that kind of money when I have so much to pay for! My grandpa is a deacon which is kinda like a priest that can get married but they even said wait a year after the babies born and then get married, were definitely doing things our own way but whatever... it's 2013 nobody does anything the "traditional" way anyways!! I'm just going to enjoy this gift!

Thanks mah! Lol no problem my boyfriends grandma tries to push the marriage topic on me and to get her mad i tell her i dont believe in marriage lol i love to see her face. Little does his family know that we were talking about marriage waybfore i knew i was pregnant. Just gotta tell ppl your doing it your way not theirs! Its your life. Focus on your pregnancy there will be plenty of time to marry after your baby is born. One thing at a time:)
