help i need advise
So I'm nine weeks and haven't told my parents yet. I'm not really sure how to tell them. He's my story and I need advise. I still live with mom and dad but plan to move out soon. They are very traditional like you get married buy a house then do the baby thing. And I'm only 24 years old. I'm a nurse so I make decent money but I just need advice on telling them.
Havnt told them yet but after my scan on Jan 5 I'm going to wrap them up in frames and boxes and be like late Christmas presents from Santa Comgrats nana and grampie. I hope they are not to mad considering I'm still there baby girl. As for lhuandreae. I've already started buy.g stuff the baby depot in a great place and right at the end of every season. I have a carseat brand new 52 bucks. And just in case its a girl I have a coupon to carseat. Caddy .com so I can get a different pattern. Then I already got a snap and go from craigslist and baby clothes for when the babies older at the end of season sales. I've got this cute onsie for Halloween and Christmas now for like 4 buck each and none for cheap always look at sales first
I'm 32, just started dating my bf in November(known him since July), ALSO a nurse (RN), and I'm scared to tell my family...my mom knows, isn't the happiest, but telling my dad is going to kill me, he'll kill me...They have met my bf (need to tell him yet too...help!) Luckily I live on my own, but I don't know how I will be able.to afford everything. I'm thinking start purchasing stuff now, and on clearance! :) Any advice? :) Good luck and keep me posted!
Well, noawadays, things go backwards sometimes. When I met my husband we got pregnant right away. We were still discovering our relationship. We moved in together right away so that we could figure things out. We got asked MANY times if we were going to get married after we told people we were expecting. We said No, why would we do that? So we moved in together. A year after we met we got engaged and the following year(2 yrs after we met) we got married. But before we got married we started ttc because we knew we wanted another baby. So I was about 2 months pregnant when we got married. Honestly, at least you are 24. I have cousins that got pregnant at 15 and 16. And I was 21 when I got pregnant, turned 22 before the baby was born.
Like it was said above. I don't think it really matters how you tell them. They'll have time to get used to the idea. It's not like they could turn away from you because of it, especially an innocent baby. Maybe they won't take it as hard as you think they would.
You should of heard my stepmom when I told her I was pregnant the second time. Her comment was negative, something about not watching 2 kids. You know what?? She didn't really get to SEE my kids for almost a year after baby #2 was born(because of what she said). Babies are blessings not burdens. She didn't HAVE to watch my kids. And since then she has said nothing about having them there.
We have had our own house since 2007. We planned on it being a starter house. It seems like something is always going wrong though in this old house. We can't wait to move and plan on being in an apartment/rental for awhile before even considering buying another.
Anyway, I'm going on and on, but I just wanted to tell you my experience. They'll be surprised but really they can't stay mad because what's done is done.
Good luck with telling them tho! Hope it goes well for you!

I was 15 when I told my grandfather that I was pregnant with my son, who is now 8. Theyre going to be upset at first but when you start to show and it becomes more realistic they will love the idea that there's going to be a little one. My grandpa now says my son was the best thing that ever happened to him. It brought "life" back into the house. Especially if you have a boy lol. Atleast your not 16 or so. You have a career and can more than well pay for your child's expenses. I would tell them sooner than later. My sister had my nephew and within a month was pregnant with my neice. She didnt tell my grandparents until she was like 5 months. They raised us so basically like mom and dad. I'd tell them now. Good Luck to you!
Tell them the truth there is not right or wrong way to tel them, but be open about how you feel about there views. If there good understanding parents that love you no mater what they will be vary understanding and excepting too.
Nowadays its more common for 15year old to have a kid then it is for a 24yerold that has a job witch gives her the means to take care of a kid vs a 15yearold who prob would not have a job or the means to start out on her own.
Your 24 and have a job and aside from living at home your a totally emancipated adult!!! free to make her own choices in life and take responsibility for them. If you can have sex an date an hold a job you can do IT!! Telling your parents is the easy part!!
Best of luck
Don't sweat the small stuff.

i brought a baby grow and wrapped it up for xmas for my parents and when they opened it i said congraulations ur gonna be grandparents they were extremely surprised and not too happy but they soon come round to the idea and loved her when she was born...if u know your parents arent gonna be happy about it then you just have to sit them down and tell them straight as the longer you leave it the harder its gonna get and while your worrying you are putting pressure on urself and ur unborn baby tell them so you can start relaxing and enjoying ur pregnancy...good luck and keep us posted xxx
