family issues...

Posted on 04/04/08, 11:04 am

Ok so yesterday I finally broke the news to my parents that I'm pregnant with my boyfriend of over a year now. The thing is when I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy and excited. My DH shared in my happiness and it seemed like everything would be ok.

But now my parents won't even talk to me! They are so disappointed with me and just think that I have completely ruined all my opportunities for the future! I feel so hurt and I need their support more than anything to get through this pregnancy and the life that I will lead together with my baby. I don't know what else to say to them to make them understand where I'm coming from...:(

  I guess all I can say is give them some time. Maybe the inital shock was tough for them. Hopefully once they have time to process this, they'll come around. Congrats on your pregnancy!

  It's certainly not like you can't go back to college. They'll realize that in time too.

  My sister went through the same thing with my parents. I think it just takes sometime for the parents to think things through, to realize that it is what it is. :) Now my nephew is the light of there life! Try waiting a couple of weeks and trying to talk to which ever one your closer too. God bless

  I am pregnant and I havn't broke the news for the same reason. My mother will not think this is a good thing. I am happy, the father and I have been together for four years and he's happy too. But I know it won't be easy to tell them because my sister had a baby for her fiance (they were together for 5 years) and she knew mom would blow a fuse so she keep it from her until two weeks before delivery!!! I love my mother dearly, but she's very judgemental and says very harsh things. Still trying to figure out a way to tell her the news.
  But I can tell you from experience that when my neice arrived my mother turned into a totally different person. She is CRAZY about her grandchild and spoils her rotten. So keep your chin up because when the little one arrives your mother will take one look and turn to putty! If mine did then I think most angry soon-to-be-granparents will.
