Telling My Parents?

Question

Any advise on how I can tell my parents that I am pregnant. Im not married. But my boyfriend of 3 years/the father of my child is very much apart of my life. He and I are very excited about our little nlife we are bring into the world. But my parents are really big on the marriage thing, they even stopped talking to me when they found out that I lost my virginity before marriage. We just started talking again like we use to. I will be 25 this year and my boyfriend is already 25 so we are not kids. But I just dont know how to let me parents know..and not make them feel disrespected any advise?

Answer 1

First, elope! Run off, get married, then, later, tell them you are p.g. WHEN you became pregnant is no one's business, anyway. My son and his wife were married in Dec. In June, they delivered a healthy, wonderful grandson! Loving parents only want the best for you. If they want to give you a different type of wedding, after you elope, LET them........at their cost. I'm pregnant, just sounds so much easier on a parent's ear, when I got married, comes first! You will see that in about 18 yrs or so! LOL, do not make a mountain out of a mole hill, here. Just get married, since you say you intend to, anyway.............and let the pregnancy news be a joy for your parents.

Well if you are planning on getting married don't rush into it but let your parents know that is what you guys are thinking about. Tell them both how much you guys care about each other and that this baby is going to be loved and you are both very exicted about it. It is not the most ideal situation but it will work out. I am 28 and have 3 kids my first I had at 17 and was not married and never did marry the father. But I now am married and my husband and I have 2 kids together. My parents were upset....to say the least, but Nicole, my oldest is there sweetheart and they are sooooooo close. Don't worry they may be mad at first but it is something they will have to deal with so let them know getting mad won't help cause either way this baby is coming and tell them you don't want to look back after your child is born and remember your parents were upset about it. Good Luck, you guys will do fine!

Answer 3

Just go on ahead and have an open talk with ur parents.Its no use telling them later cos then they'll feel like u and ur bf r not respecting them.Be honest....well if they stop talking to u again life should just go on...with the baby on the way u and ur bf have so much to think about so just let them know so u can put this issue aside and start concentrating on the baby's arrival. Congratulations on the baby and i do hope u can settle this issue sooner...Good luck!

Answer 4

Wow...if you and your boyfriend feel as though you are capable of having a child then you should be able to tell your parents your pregnant. If I were you I would get all of you guys together (Your parents, your bf, and yourself) and tell them with all honesty. However, your parents are going to be mad, disappointed, hurt, angry, etc. and it's definitely going to take time for them to come around or not. I do strongely believe that hollywood has glamorized dating and having kids as a walk in the park. A child should be raised by a man and a woman who are married, have a stable house hold, financially stable, educated, and have the ability to spend time with their child everyday. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Tough question. No easy answer. As a parent with (3) girls and my oldest is 21 - I would hope they would come up to both my wife and I and talk to us and tell us what's going on. Honesty and being open right now would take off a lot of the anxiety and guilt you are feeling right now. If you are in anyway close to your parents, tell them. Marriage or no marriage...tell them. It's called, "repsect." And both parties deserve that. Good luck, and Congratulations!

Answer 6

when my uncle and aunt got pregnant, they told the parents, but agreed to get married out of respect for the parents. If you dont want to get married, then just let your parents understand that you will get married in time. With the new baby you just want to get into the flow of things because a baby can change everything. So many parents pressure their kids into marriage, but they never understand the divorce rate in the US. how it can affect a family.

Answer 8

If I was you I would tell them before they find out from someone else and make things worst. Its always better to tell them that you are getting married and that the baby is a blessing not a time to get mad. And if they do get mad at you just think that in the long time they are going to be with you and that you are their daughter and they are always going to be with you.
Let them know that parents are there to support not to judge.

Answer 9

you are an adult and this is your life

be open, honest, and up front...dont let them be in the way or guilt you into feeling bad about your pregnancy!

Answer 10

just tell them they'll get over it
tell them only if you are out of the house
