They were not mad. Disappointed I didn't listen to them about sex... but that only lasted for a minute, they said its done and over with and there is nothing they can do about it.. it happened. but they were very excited to have a grand-daughter. It was surprising, I was only 15 when I got preg. 16 when I had her. 10th grade. They were VERY supportive. Gav me everything I ever needed. Couldn't ask for better parents than that.

I'll be 19 when my baby is born, and while that's still a teen parent, I feel like there is a huge difference between someone who is living on their own and going to college (such as myself) and someone who is still living with their parents and relying on them...not that the younger set of teens can't be great parents as well, just that their parents probably react differently.
My mom has been very supportive, bringing me gatorade and saltines when I have morning sickness and taking me window-shopping to look at baby things. My dad still sees me as "his little girl" (even though he cut off the child support a year ago because he found a loophole that said if I had a job he didn't have to pay...so he was really taking good care of that "little girl", huh?) and treats me like I'm about 14 and shouldn't drive or work or date boys or live on my own. He cried when I told him I was pregnant and acted like it was going to be the end of the world, when really it was just a faulty pack of birth control pills.

I got pregnant when I was 17. My parents were very disappointed. The father left soon after I told my parents and that just added to the awkwardness between my parents and I. As my pregnancy went by my relationship with my parents got much better. My mother and I became much closer after my son was born. I realized at that point how much I needed my family. Before my son was born I was rebelious and relied so much on my friends. My son's birth was a life changing event for my parents and I both.

Didn't change how my parents interact with me at all. I'd been pretty much self sufficient already and just living in their house. However it did impact how they treated my little sister (she was then 14/15). I have always been the good one. Straight A's, college bound, don't smoke, didn't drink, good friends, involved in extracurriculars with a strong work ethic. My sis however styles herself a "cowgirl" and lives the life she thinks that entails. Flunking classes, spending more time on her horse and at rodeos than on school, drinking Bud like it's water, chain smoking, etc etc. My parents cared and tried to stop her before I got pregnant but after I got pregnant they just seemed to throw in the towel. The whole "well we screwed up the good one so there's just no hope for the bad one" mentality. Sometimes I feel guilty...but then she calls me a stupid slut and I don't feel bad at all anymore.

I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant. My mother (a doctor) was very clinical about the whole thing and didn't seem to show her emotions about the whole thing much. My father (a lawyer) broke down and cried (the only time I've ever seen him cry except at a funeral) Then a few days later, he shook my fiance's hand and said congratulations.

I was a teen parent. My parents treated me like an adult afterward. That was not a good thing either. I was expected to get a job. Looking back now I would not change that.
They also lost respect and trust with me and it took ALOT to regain it.

They were shocked and disappointed. After a few weeks my mom was finally excited. When my daughters were born was when my dad finally got excited. They have loved being grandparents.
