Telling your parents.

[benzita]

How did you tell your parents? I only took a pregnancy test today which came back positive. To be honest I was devestated, but now I'm trying to figure out a way to tell my parents. I'm 22, living with my boyfriend who I've been with for about a year. My parents are my biggest supporters though through everything, but they consistently tell me they are proud that I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I hate disappointing them. Telling them probably has to be the scariest thing of this all. Help.

I'm only 20 and I live with my mom. I just came out and told her and she was just accepting. I don't think she was happy but she wasn't mad or disappointed. She became excited as I got further along of course. But she just told me most important thing was for me to stay in school and finish and she would help me out the best she could.

I really expected her to be disappointed. I'm not with the father and still living at home. Not the best time to be pregnant

I'm 22 as well married so my family was happy and excited to add another grandchild I have two nephews already. His family is happy as well and excited it will be his parents first grandchild. I just said mom I have something to tell u n she said what and I told her I'm pregnant. My older sister cried from happiness but we played so many pranks so they asked me if its true or a prank again.

I was 17 when i first got pregnant and i told my grandfather first (he was mg guardia) and he was happy that i was giving him his first great grandchild. Then i told my mom she was happy but devastated and then she told my dad and he was beyond p**sed. And i was also a single mother the dad bolted before i found out i was pregnant.

I gave my mom two little plaques to hang in her house to tell her. One said "TGIF This Grandma is Fabulous" and the other said "grandma's never run out of hugs and cookies". Unfortunately my dad passed away a year before that but I would have done something like that for him too. I think if your parents are truly supportive they will be happy although a little worried if they don't feel like it's the right time.

With this pregnancy, thanks to Bella being almost 6 months old, we are sending baby booties to the grandparents

Wait to tell your parents until the time is right. Don't stress about it.

To be honest i texted my mom lol shes excited tho

[missmayy]

It's really hard , I felt the same way when I found out . My mom was really happy my dad on the other hand was a little upset but your parents will definitely come around .

Yeah even though they were upset at first they have been there the whole time and been to every appointment with me and they are super excited to be grandparents! Just don't take it personally when they aren't excited for you right away because it's big news and they will come around :) better to not get upset about their suprise at first

My mom was the same way ,but when i told her we just in the kitchen tlkin n i striaght up said mom i have sumthin to say n she said wat yur pregnant? Lol she wasnt mad shes actually really happy. I was most scared to tell my big sister who cried when she found out but dey r the biggest support team i have. Its hard to believe myself but family will always be dere. U just have to have a plan now . Dont be devested a child is a blessing

I was 18 when I had to tell my parents and it was really scary! My mom told me she was worried because she didn't think it was good timing for me to have a child and my dad was so angry especially because he's not a fan of the daddy. My boyfriends parents were extatic! I let him tell his parents and I called my mom just to chat and ended up spilling the beans before I could do a cute little grandparent announcement. I originally planned on giving them a pacifier attached to a note that says the best parents get promoted to grandparents :)
