My sister is pregnant. She just found out like an hour ago. She didn't tell our parents or her boyfriend(fiance). How should she tell them. She is 22. Please tell me so I can help her. She is due September 15. So she is about 9 weeks.
*I know I just asked another question about my sister, but I have 2 sisters.

There are so many possible factors that it's hard to know what advice to give you.
Will your parents be supportive of her, or will they be angry?
Will they be hurt at first, but get behind her with some time to get used to the idea?
Will they be overjoyed at the thought of a new life?
Hopefully the fact that your sister is engaged will help your parents to be accepting and to welcome the coming baby and support your sister and her fiance.
Does your sister live at home? If so, it would probably be a good idea for her and her fiance to figure out their "game plan" before telling your parents - Where will they live? How will they support themselves? That way, they'll be able to show your parents that they are fully prepared for this big change that's coming and to be the best possible parents to their child.
If she isn't sure what their reaction will be, I would recommend she and her fiance have a conversation with your parents at home in private, rather than out at a restaurant where they could potentially feel "ambushed" or have a difficult drive home.
Good luck!

Tell her to just be honest with them. If her and her boyfriend plan to marry then maybe this is just a jump start to there family.. My fiance and I found out I was pregnant about 4 months after we started dating. He was shocked at first but warmed up to the idea of being a daddy all in the same hour.. We are now expecting baby #2 and couldnt be more happier...

I would tell the boyfriend (fiance) first and then tell the parents. I was totally scared to tell my mom when I found out I was pregnant and I was 25 at the time, but it all worked out in the end. They are probably going to be exstatic to be grandparents and no matter what I don't think they will think any less of her or the child. At least my mom didn't and she could not be happier that she has a grandson.

Well, hopefully if this guy is her fiance, he is going to be understanding and supportive and hopefully happy about this. Timing may not be as they planned, but it is a good thing, not a negative. When is the wedding? As for your parents, they should also understand and be supportive and happy - she is 22, not a teenager, so this should not be such a negative thing for them either, and frankly, they don't have much say in the matter. If she presents it as a positive, then people will accept it as a positive thing and not a bad thing. Maybe saying something like, "we have very exciting news to share with you...not exactly as we planned, but we are very excited to tell you that you are going to be grandparents a bit earlier than we thought!"
**** luck to her!

How thrilling!! i think of the perfect ingredient you may desire to do is help with cooking, cleansing, paying for, etc after the infants are born. I easily have often examine while human beings say, "permit me be responsive to if there is something i will do!", they frequently do never finally end up helping because of the fact the different individual would not easily need to invite too loads of them. So, tell your sister(s), "i pass to come again over and do your laundry/cook dinner/insert different chore right here." yet another great ingredient you may desire to do is make some food which could be put in the freezer and then into the oven. this is complicated to discover time to make nutritious food once you have a newborn. you would be a great aunt!

your sister is grown with a fiance , all she has to do is sit them down and tell them she's having baby. you should be there to support her. but what could your parents really say to her. she's grown and able to make her own decisions.

Well, if it is a good thing, to surprise her BF then she could give him a diaper, and your parents a baby booty.....and say congrats to your parents on being grandparents...or wait until mothers day and tell them then when she can celebrate her first mommies day...good luck to her

just sit them down and spill the bean. it is like when you remove a bandaid from a hair area or removing those strips after applying wax. you just have to be quick. Just tell them
