Im 21 and my boyfriend who I am pregnant by is 32.......how do I tell my parents the truth about his age?

Question

Im 21 and I am pregnant by a 32 yr old. My parents think my boyfriend is 26. I have yet to tell them his rightful age because they are going to flip.............how do I tell them?

Answer 1

First of all, your of age regardless of what your parents think, and out of respect for your parents the truth needs to be told because I'm sure when the birth certificate is printed that they'll want to see it. They can't stop loving you because of a age difference, but don't rule out them being upset for not being told the truth in the first place. I'm sure the excitement of a new child will calm them.

Answer 2

Excuse me Mrs. I might terminate my pregnancy. They say that the truth hurts, and well, my oppinion that is also the truth hurt you.
Who in the right mind will terminate their pregnancy due to how their parents feel about the situation? You have alot of growing up to do. Also, in what you sent me you talk mostly about money and what your parents have, what does that have to do with this situation? It doesnt. By what you have said it shows that you have earned nothing and your one of them kids who get everything handed to them. Your right, I dont have them kind of parents, and I am proud of that. I am proud because I have earned everything I have on my own, I work for what I have, and you obviously dont. Money dont solve problems and it seems as if you may think it does.
Everything you have said shows selfishness, and follishness. You are only making an idiot out of yourself.
Also, if you have so much money why in your other questions you have posted you ask about how to get money for college, and housing?? I think thats funny. I go to college and I am going for Veterinary Technician. Seems to me I am further in life than you, and I am not saying I dont have problems cuz thats not true. I am also 6 months pregnant, you know the saying, "It takes a real man to be a father?", well it goes the same for a Mother. I think you may be too immature to be a Mother right now. Ever think of adoption instread of killing your own child?
I have a great sex life thank you very much. But I am mature enough to use protection if I dont want a child, and still know that even if I do that a child can still be brought into this life. I am happily pregnant, and happy to say my baby isnt a mistake, other than yours. Your supposed to take responsibilty for your actions. I do. Its obvious to me that you dont.
Its a shame that you have to lie to your parents about basically everything. They dont know your boyfriends age, they dont know your pregnant. Thats a lousy daughter. You say that you wont tell them your pregnant until after you get your car? lol, your nothing but a freeloader.
I dont live in a shack. I live in a nice place with my boyfriend. I am 21 years old. You still live with Mommy and Daddy.
Of course I will tell you to keep your legs closed......Who kills their baby when they are pregnant???? If you dont keep your legs closed you'll keep getting pregnant and the more lives will be killed because of a selfish little girl as you are.
You said that everything happens for a reason....Well then you should know this pregnancy is for a reason!! Not a pregnancy to kill the baby. Abortion is like murder. Abortion should only be ethical if the woman's life is at stake, but other than that, abortion should not be acceptable.
You need the lord. Abortion is against the bible. Money isnt good or isnt evil unless you make it that way. Your having sex getting pregnant and having abortions. Against the bible.

Answer 3

Why do they think he's 26? Did you lie? If so, just go back to them and say he's 32. It's not a big deal, really. You are actually an adult now. Just tell them. At this point, you're pregnant, nothing you can do about it now. Just announce that you're getting married and take their mind off of his age. They'll probably be more excited if you two get married.

Answer 4

Just be honest. honey you are 21 your parents cannot stop you from dating an older man. its not like your 18 and he's 32. They maybe upset but they will just have to get over it. Yeah they will be mad because you lied but you obvisouly had reason, and if you didnt then just tell them your sorry, but at this point your pregnant by a 32 year old...they cant change that.

Answer 5

When and if the little bundle of joy comes the question of who's the daddy is going to come up. Then they are going to want all his information. They will figure it out one way or another. Better to let them know now when they are less likely to do anything. It just adds to the you being pregnant thing.

Answer 6

they will flip at his age, but not at the fact that you are pregnant at 21?

i would just never mention it. you have 8 years till his 40th.

plus if you are old enough to have a baby arent you old enough to not need your parents approval?

Answer 7

Best thing to do is tell them, be honest...and do not lie, as it only causes more trouble! If you are going to bring a child into this world, you need to set an example!

Answer 8

just tell them, you are having a child with him and weren't ashamed of his age when you had sex with him, you are an adult and can make your own decisions on who you want to be in a relationship with, your parents will frown upon the fact that you lied to them but they will be appreciative that you were finally honest with them as well.....

Answer 9

ok well... i would just take the guy with me and get him to help me tell the truth because then they might not act as drastically

Answer 10

just tell them. ur gonna have this guys kid.that way they will atleast respect that u just came out and said it
