Make sure you do it together. you're a team now and you have to show other people that. There really isn't an easy way to tell them so just say it! Be ready for scrutiny, but it will pass. Give them time for it all to sink in. Parents love you no matter what and they will eventually be happy. Be ready to tell them how you are preparing, how you are going to support the baby, etc. Good luck! Also sound excited, show them how much you are anticipating the baby! They can't view the baby as a burden if you don't.

When i first found out i was preggers it was only my bf's mother that i was scared of telling. I told him and my family but we are still young so we didn't know how she would take it and put it off for a day or so... when we finally had the guts she was actually quite good about it.

The longer you leave it the more you will agonise over it and the madder they will be you didn't tell them straight away, as long as you are going to stick around and be an enthusiastic father they should be able to deal with it alot easier.

Be warned though it gets alot harder and you may get sick of her asking you if she's still pretty or if shes fat or yelling at you but you need to stick it out, it'll make your relationship stronger in the end :)

i actually just had to do this last saturday from experience u should tell them as early as possible whether u want to be married or not stand your ground on that u will endure some cussings and threats but it will blow over when they get it through their head that its done and cant be changed and eventually they will be happy that they will have a grandchild keep a job get a house and be a man about it i grew up without a dad and it sux so even if u dont stay together stay in your childs life

First off, there will be no easy way to tell them. Both of you sit down with her parents at home and tell them. It will help show that you are trying to do this responsibly. Second, have information ready to give them such as your goals, where you will live (if you have to). They will be looking at you as the provider. If you don't have a job, bust your butt on getting one. Have an appointment for a prenatal visit made before you tell them. Third and most important, watch who you tell, they may go back and tell them before you do.

They will freak no matter what. It may soften the blow if you tell them as adults.

over the phone,they can't hit you that way. that was a joke. you are going to have to face up to them of course they wont like it,if it gets too bad,walk out ,don't get into a slinging match with dad,things will blow over.try and look at it from their point of view,they probably had huge plans for her as all parents do as your parents do for you,they will all have to help you now.If you love each other you will get through this together but remember it will not be easy.If you enjoy a good time now you will have to straighten up and prove to everyone you are not treating this as a joke,if your parents see you making an effort they will respect you more and help you. Very good luck to both of you and i hope everything works out.

looking forward to it? meaning your partner is compromised, will marry you soon and both have stable jobs to support the baby? baby don't live on air you know, babies are very expensive. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but unless your bf marries you in the future odds are you guys won't get old together. Men are idiots that as soon as they see trouble of get bored walk out and don't care about anything else. Make sure this guy really compromises. It has never happened to me, but I've seen SO many cases with friends and on YA that I just wanna open your eyes girl. Parenthood is a very serious thing.

Get a steady job and maybe wait a couple months. Then have your girlfriend spill the beans to mommy and say that you are helping support the baby and you have a job. Even if it's a part time crappy job. Of all things. Get on the WIC program. If you don't know what it is. Look it up. VERY helpful. They pay for formula for you. Formula.. Expensive. I was a teen mom, it was hard for me too.

Just come out with it. There isn't an easy way to let parents know that your underage girlfriend and yourself are expecting. Just stand strong as a team. Good Luck.

Tell them that you were not planning it of course. That you know it's bad timing but everything happens for a reason. And that you are going to both do everything in your power to give your baby a good life with or without their support but you much rather have them there for the ride.

And I agree you should be together when you tell them for eachothers support.

Brace yourselves it's gonna be a bumpy ride!! And good luck with everything.

Tell her parents this joke:

This student got a school girl pregnant and had to tell her dad who was a farmer, so he drove out one Saturday afternoon to confront the moody old man.
Arriving at the farm gate he noticed that there was a Toyota sign on the gate post.
Further on he noticed that all the farm tractors were Toyota and even as he neared the farm house, he noticed that all the other vehicles there were all Toyota's.
So, sitting on the porch with the old man stuffing his pipe, the student said;
Sir, Sally is so much like Toyota.
Mmm, said the old farmer...RELIABLE.
"For sure", agreed the student.
"She took immediately" !
