Young Mother

I am 20 years old. Engaged and live across the country from my parents. My fiance just recently bought me a car. Than two days later we found out we were pregnant. Now first, my mom's one of those people who answered the phone pm her 40th birthday && said "Yay!!! I'm 40 & not a grandma!!" Now I'm offended first because my sister.. is gay... my brother.. doesn't believe in sex before marriage. So me already having middle child syndrome... I'm worried about my moms reaction && I meed help on am easy way to tell her & an appropriate time. Because I can't see her fact to face.

I'm in the same boat, I'm highly responsible, always have the the smart, older child and now I'm pregnant. I haven't told my mother yet, and I'm not sure when to tell her, I've lived on my own for 3 years now, I'm just afraid she'll be disappointed, not to mention telling my grandmother, HA.

She'll understand. Just call her and tell her. She shouldn't be ashamed to be a grandmother at 40 my mom wasn't a grandmother until she was 43. It's not like your 16 and pregnant. Good luck.
