my best friend is pregnet how should she tell her parents?

Answer 1

As soon as possible and be frank this is no time for heroics you
already messed that up

Answer 2

WOW...the only reason I am answering is because all of the other answers looked unhelpful. I would recommend just telling them. At dinner one night or whenever they sit together as a family for her to just blurt it out. It will not get any better or easier no matter the circumstances. It might be helpful if she took the young man who assisted her along with her to tell her parents. I am assuming that she is a teen from the phasing of the question... If not and everyone will be happy than just share the news.

Best of luck.

Answer 3

Sounds like this may be a complex situation. The answer is fairly simple. Have her take a friend with her, sit her parents down and just get it out as fast as possible.... "I'm pregnant." Part of being a mommy is being able to handle tough adult conversations, so she might as well jump in and get started.

Answer 4

that is difficult to answer becuz so many variables come into play... is it something special or is it an oops!!! is she voting age, still live at home, unmarried, in a committed relationship .. yadda yadda yadda ...

going with worst case scenerio,, she is in highschool and living at home. very sad. hope her parents are understanding and supportive types.. if they hv any remorse it is for their daughters early graduation into major responsibilities so young in life.

i'd advice your friend to first determine what she wants to do, whats the plan? does she want to keep it or give it to a loving home?

that way when she tells her parents she can show them the maturity of thinking things through somewhat and that she isn't going to dump the responsibility on them ... if they wanted another baby to raise, they wld'v had more kids.

you may want to give more details so you're not weeding through a bunch of answers that don't apply (;

Answer 5

Sit them down and calmly as possible tell them what is going on. Always remember though that they aren't going to take the news greatly. Some parent's are calmer then others but just remember to tell the truth. Best wishes!!!

Answer 6

Your friend needs to sit her parents down, just the three of them, and talk. Your friend will desperately need their help during this time. She should expect crying and tears and they may be angry for a time. But they will always love her and will want to do what they can to help her.

Answer 7

The best way is to be honest and straightforward. I don't know her relationship with her parents but I found honesty to be the best policy. However, if she is in fear of being physically harmed, she should seek professional assistance first.

Answer 8

Yes she should tell her parents. If she doesn't it's her decision, but if they find out, then it could get her in a lot more trouble, that she could have avoided if she had just told them.

Answer 9

If she is mature enough to have a baby, she and her boyfriend should be mature enough to sit down with both sets of parents and explain the situation. Duh. Pretty simple. Of course, she is obviously not mature enough to be a mother since she can't handle a simple conversation.

Answer 10

dont unless she wants you to. if she is young, or even underage, then she will most likely not want them to know, i would make shur she knows you will be there for her but it is best for her and the baby that her parents know, let her tell them her self, but if she's 8 months pregnant or something then say to her they need to know and just say ' you need to talk to your daughter something is wrong and she needs to tell you' good luck
