I have two the first was that I did not want to be a doctor anymore. My hole life they pushed me and i thought i wanted to be a doctor then when i went to college i realised that was not for me. I felt like i was letting them down by telling them this. They were a little disappointed but they took it well
The second was that i was getting married with or with out thier permission. They loved my girlfriend now my wife but thought i was to young. I was 22 we had been dating since 19.. I said i did not care but i loved her and that we were getting married. We eloped and that was that. My mom and wife are best friends now. She calls to talk to my wife and not me some times. They got over it

The hardest thing Ive ever told them is that I didnt care what they thought, I was going to do what I thought was best and suffer my OWN consequences, not theirs.
They werent upset, and it was a major weight off my shoulders.
I think the hardest thing Ive ever realized about my parents was the day I had the epiphany that they were just people. Just regular people who made regular mistakes, just like me.
We tend to have these crazy images of our parents growing up. Its kinda sad to learn something different is true, but its a natural part of life.

The hardest thing for me was to tell my parents that I was pregnant at 14 then again at 15 (the second time on birth control). The third hardest thing to admit was that the guy I chose to stick by for 11 years didn't care about me at all and it was time to move on. My parent's and I are okay now, my dad voluntarily lives wth me cuz he's single, and my mom and I don't really speak. but not because of my past mistakes

I think that the hardest for me was telling my parents that I was getting married just a month after graduating from college. Then to make it more difficult, I found out I was pregnant with my first baby just 4 months after I got married. But luckily they were really supportive and were not as upset as I thought they would be. They couldn't wait for my baby to be born. I think it would have been harder on them if it had been their first grandchild, but it wasn't.

I didn't really have to tell them, they were shown. I got married Jan 6, 2007 and my son was born June 11, 2007. Couldn't even lie and say he was a Honeymoon baby. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and decided we wanted a baby a few months before our wedding, so we did it. My parents are "old fashioned" and weren't too happy about that but they ADORE their little grandson. :)

I was in a car accident at 17yrs and I can't remember what happened, even right after it happened. I wasn't drunk or anything...just in such shock that I don't really know what happened. I made a story up using the tiny tiny bits and pieces I remembered and lied about it for years. We were huanted by that accident until I was a sophomore in college and telling them I truly didn't remember any of it a year or two ago bothered them.

Telling dad when I was moving out of the house and in with my boyfriend. ( I was almost 24, had been dating the guy seriously for almost a year, BUT only had a temp job, with nothing permenate on the horizon.)
He didn't think it was the best idea, but accepted that it was my time. That boyfriend and I got engaged, bought a condo, got married and now we are expecting our first child in June.
Then it was exciting to tell dad he was going to be a grandpa!
(there was nothing too hard to ever tell my mom, she always kept her cool.)

The hardest thing I had to tell my parent, my mother, was that she could not see my daughter or son any more. It was hard because no matter how mad I am at my mother I still love her, but my own family comes first, and my mother is far to abusive to be around my children. But in the end it was the right decision and I do not regret it.

The hardest thing was going over to their house alone, telling them that my husband suddenly wanted to leave me, and ask if my 2 year old son and I could live with them for two months. (I didn't want my husband to leave so thought if he could stay in the house alone for 2 months, he'd have time to think about it and realize his mistake. Instead, he just neglected the house and spent all his time with his new girlfriend).

That their nephew molested me when I was 8. I didn't tell them until I was an adult. I thought I would be punished by them for what happened, so I kept my mouth shut. It wasn't until he was jailed many years later for molesting a 3 year old that I mentioned "that he finally got caught" . They didn't believe me the first time and a year later I finally got them to understand that I wasn't making this up.

When my Mum was dying of kidney failure, she didn't fully comprehend the medical jargon the doctor was telling her (due to the toxins in her body from her kidney's not flushing them out). After the doctors left I had to sit down and explain to her that she was dying, and probably had just less than a week left to live, dialysis or no dialysis.
I can honestly say I've never had to tell anybody anything harder than that.
