Talking it out

I am 7 weeks today... Planning on telling my mother and my sisters in a few weeks but I know that they probably won't be very excited... They feel 21 is too young to have a child and to top it all off they hate my boyfriend... What do I say... How do I talk to them... I want everyone to be as happy as I am but fear that it won't happen that way

I'm 20 with my Second child(: who cares what anyone thinks? Not me , because as long as i'm able to take care of my kids by working, having a stable place for them to eat & sleep . Nobodies opinions matter but mine! My daughter is almost 4 , & i'm happy with my mini family! When you start focusing in what other people will think of you then that becomes a problem. . . Your parents will be fine.

21 is NOT to young..it depends on persons personalities and liking. A 30 year old would always be a more sutable mother then a 21 year old if she is imature etc. I was 21 when I had my first and dont regret it. And I know what I want in life and how people supose to act. Dosnt mean we have to walk around like headless chickens because we are young and have to find a purpose in life to know what we really want.
If you are ready, then U are. No person in the world and I mean NO ONE i  the world is 100% ready for what a child will bring. We are humans we fail and we get up.
Tell them and take things frome there. You never know their reactions and things might suprize. But be always nice to them and please them by makimg them happy and take care of urself

Congrats hunny..My Personal opinion is that your family should be your biggest supporters during this time nobody what .. 21 yes is young to the point where your supposed to be finding out what exactly it is you wanna do in life but sometimes the path is different.. Im 20 and at first my mother was disappointed because i knew she wanted me to be fully stable and ready to take care if a child but a couple doctors appts later shes excited and adjusting to the fact she will be a grandmother lol .. Just what another week or whatever makes you feel comfortable to tell him .. @Tk1293
