I am in a very difficult situation!!?

Question

I am 17 and live in brisbane, Australia. How do i tell my parents that i a will be a father in 8 months.

Answer 1

Just tell them. You know, alot of 17 year olds would not say, "I'm going to be a father" in this situation. They'd say, "I got a girl pregnant". Right there shows you have good character. Take a deep breath. Sit them down. Tell them. Let them cool off. Then wait for their support. And they will support you. They'll be grandparents!

Answer 2

Whatever happens when you tell them - and tell them you must -be a decent guy and stand by the young lady. SHe will need all the help you can muster . Your parents cannot live your life for you so I hope they have raised you right and you know to give support to the baby and mother . Finish your school, get a job and work hard. That's about all anyone could expect at your age . It's too late for reprimand or remorse .
How about when she tells HER parents ! Stand by her side .
Good Luck to you both and do not let that happen again .

Answer 3

There isn't an easy way to tell your parents something like this, the best time is when you all are at home an do not need to be anywhere any time soon. Expect there to be a lot of emotions but you try to stay calm, your parents are going to be in for a shock. Good luck, my heart goes out to you.

Answer 4

You sit them down and tell them you want to talk to them.
You tell them that you have a girlfriend and that you love her and that you're serious about her. Then you get to the hard part and just say it. She's pregnant.
Many issues will come up but you should stay strong and state where you stand and what you intend to do. Don't let them pressure you into doing something that you don't want. If you want to be involved in the baby's life, what you intend to do about college, about work... All these things should be your own decisions. But if your parents want to help then that's cool. I don't think they should pressure you into changing your mind about something you have already decided. If you are still confused, then ask them for their opinion or help. But think for yourself as well. If they tell you to do something it doesn't always mean it's the right thing to do.

Answer 5

You need to grow up and be a man about this. The sooner you tell them, the less a problem it will be for you. In this day and age, there is no reason for an unplanned pregnancy, so its best to tell the truth.

If you want to be a father, then ask your dad how to be the best one. If you don't want that, then you are in quite a bit of a pickle!

Either way, you have to tell your folks and take your chances.

Answer 6

You should tell them that you want to talk to them like an adult. Say that you have made mistakes, and that you learn from mistakes, and you will take action for this one. You should then say, I made a big mistake, and in 8 months I will be a father.

I really hope you take action, and care for this child. I mean, you dont want this child to ask its mother "wheres my daddy" and have you not be there. This could be a great life lesson to you.

I wish you the best of luck.
Hope this helps!

Answer 7

Your nervous about telling your parents, obviously, but are you happy about being a father?

For Christmas, I'd get you parents matching Worlds Best Grandma & Worlds Best Grandpa sweatshirts. Let them open them together. Then yell, "Surprise!"

Answer 8

This is what you called Time To Grow Up. But what kids forget is regardless of how upsetting things are, Parents will always love you. Its more of a disappointment to see young kids change their lives and possibly their direction in life in one moment. So just sit them both down
and tell them. Your more afraid of fear then you are of your parents. You're going to need their help and Advice....

Answer 9

Just open your mouth and let the words come out.No point in dwelling on it too much, as in situations like this the words never come out as they are supposed to anyway.Whats done is done although yes you were stupid not to take precautions but now you have to face the consequences.Good luck.

Answer 10

i think it would be somewhat easier if you could include your gf on this conversation with your parents. that way not all the stress and concern (if any) would be all focused on you.

i think that if you firmly believe that this is a positive thing for you, stand up for yourself and be brave. this is what you want, right?

if this is something that you are worried about or do not feel comfy with. then you should discuss it with your gf and figure out a way to handle this situation. if you absolutley need help, i think that you should be honest with your parents and ask them for help.

im sure that if you ask for their help they would appreciate that you came to them and not hide it from them.

goodluck & congratulations.
