Needing advice.

Tomorrow I tell my parents... I'm a pastor's daughter, unmarried and living with my bf. Anyone have any helpful hints on how to make this go somewhat smoothly?

They'll be more understanding Than you think. You're already living with him. They see that you're starting a life with him.

The whole family has been informed now! Everyone is at least supportive. Not necessarily excited, some are disappointed, but they all love us anyway.

You could always open with, so ya know how I've been living in sin and having premarital sex..... lmao. Sorry I couldn't resist! I'm a 100% God loving Christian! I'm sure they will be understanding hun. Like above said they can't really expect you to have an abortion. All babies are blessings!

Okay when I told my parents and they are really really pentecostal when I told my mom she kinda knew and was like okay and wasn't mad she talk to my bf and ask him do you really love my daughter and do you love the child that you made with God and he said yeah. She pretty much told him when you guys can get married everybody makes mistake and we are not to judge God still loves you and will always be there even when we do make mistakes

God Wouldn't Have Given You This Baby If He Didn't Have A Plan For Everyone involved

Really depends on your religious beliefs. If your church is pro life (as most are) simply remind them about how miraculous life is and how blessed you are to bring this tiny piece of heaven into the world. If they already know you're living with your boyfriend, they probably realized this was a possibility.
If they didn't know, they're in for a bit of a shock. Remind them that you love them and respect what they've taught but that you're also an adult and you're ready to start your family. Good luck!
