How Should I Tell My Parents?
Answer:
Sweety you are of age now. Just have your boyfriend with you when you go to tell her. Sit down and just tell her you have some news and go ahead and just say I'm pregnant. Good luck and congratulations
sure, they will have to know sooner or later. It's best to tell them they are going to be a mother once again!
...oh and how should you tell your parents? Just open your mouth and say: "mom i'm having a baby. Be ready to take care of him for the next 4 years till I finish college and then I'll be back for him then, bye".
She may get mad but at the end of the day she loves you. Just tell her.
Just sit her down and tell her straight up, just be honest, you might be surprised at her reaction if you go about it the right way.
you answered this question yourself YOUR 18 YEARS OLD so you're an adult you don't need your mothers permission to have a baby i can see your point that she might be upset but it's your decision and not your moms
I would just sit mom down and tell her almost the same way you asked us - " Mom, I don't know how to tell this to you...but I am expecting your grandchild." Express your hopes that you will have her support during this time.
At least you are having it with someone that you have been steady in a relationship with! AND you are out of school and working on a career.
Good luck to you and your family - this could and should be a special time for you all.
Your 18 and you've been with your man for 3 years. What does she have to be mad about? Your an adult in the military! Start acting like one!
Mom?
im pregnant!
look her square in the eye!
then ask her what should i do?!
what you gonna do with you 'Airforce carrier? yep!
id say, is boyfriend ready for a baby?
are you ever gonna get married to him?
first thing first..
carrier, then marrieage, then children!
in that order!
;-D
as hard as i know it will be you just have to tell her. be honest with her, its not like you are 14 and you slipped up. you are 18 which makes you an adult. and honestly, your pregnant, you are bringing a precious baby into the world you didnt go out and murder anyone. i really think its a lot harder thinking about telling your mom then it actually will be to tell her. also, this is you r boyfriend of three years not just some guy you met and hooked up with and three weeks later oops! your baby will have a mom and dad that im assuming, will love it very much. so good luck!
be really nice about it! say "when do you want a grandchild?? in about 9 months say?" break it to them real easy
I was 20 and extremely scared to tell my father for his reaction I knew would be bad, and it was. He said he was disappointed in me, and he wanted more for me. My son is the best thing in my life and him and my father has the greatest relationship ever. I would just sit down with her and say mom, I am scared to tell you this and I want you to be happy for me. you are going to be a grandma. Hope for the best, but whatever her reaction might be at that time, you mother and child will have a good relationship.
remember that your parents love you no matter what! yes they may be mad but a baby will make things special. just tell them. the longer you wait the harder they will take it. being a parent is the most wonderful job in the world.he and you need to tell all parents together and take responsabilty for your actions
Having a baby is no joke. If you think you are ready to divide time between yourself and the kid, then you're ready, but please be prepared. Taking care of a kid is no walk in the park!
I was 18 when I got pregnant. Kind of the same story only he was in the Marines. You just have to tell her ASAP. You need her help. She is going to be disappointed but remember she will still love you and help you. Just go for it, your going to have to tell her.
Chances are since your living with her, she might already have an idea if she is the one that usually buys your personal items. That is how my mom pretty much figured it out, then I just had to confirm her thoughts. I am a young mom too and I know exactly how you are feeling. But do the right thing and talk to your mom. I am now 26 with 3 kids and still with the same man. It can work for you too.
So good luck to you, and best wishes.
Just tell her.Your 18 your an adult, She might take it alittle better if you were married. Or at least engaged. If you want to break it to her you could say ummmm mom ( your boyfriends name) gave your something really big for Christmas..... when she says what say.. Your first grand baby"
Your an adult, do what you please with your life, your mother can't stop you, as of your 18th birthday, you have the freedoms, rights and even consiquences as an adult. please stop worrying about what your mother will think.
Tell them now so that they can "prepare" for the kids arival. You're planning to get a babysitter when you're in college right? I hope so because...
I don't have kids, but from babysitting experience they get into all sorts of trouble, especially when they reach walking stage. They'll want to get into anything and everything! Especially if it has a cord or something dangerous!
Just pluck up courage and tell her like it is. I too had to go through this when I was just 16 years old and 30 years ago this wasnt a good thing !!. I won't lie - boy she was upset and dissapointed but within a couple of weeks she was knitting for my baby and there for me all the way before and after my daughter was born. She was the best grandma my daughter could have had. The hardest part is getting the words out 'I'm pregnant' - once you've done that its the hard part over - believe me, I'm sure it'll all be fine. Good luck to you and your baby xxxxxxxxxx
look, you're an adult, just do the hinest thing, and tell her your pregnant!
marry him & tell
Go straight up to her and say look mom i love my boyfriend and i have some news to tell you , i am an adult now and i think i should say i have my own life to start with my own family and i want to start it with [boyfriends name] i have to admit, mom i am staring a amily im pregnant!
Honestly you in a better boat than i am. I just think that you should be straigh forward with your mom, its not like your not doing anything with your life. Your in the military and have things to look forward to in life and yea a baby is going to side track it but determination will stick you through it.
ACTUALLY 18 IS NOT A BAD AGE TO HAVE A KID 15 YEARS THEN YEAH THAT'LL BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT JUST TELL HER SHE'LL GET MAD BUT THEN SHE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER CUZ UR HER DAUGHTER GOOD LUCK!! TELL HER
Well, you're eighteen so legally you can make your own decisions. If you and your mom have a good enough relationship that you can still live with her without going crazy, then she probably won't go crazy and kick you out. I don't actually know your mom, but you should tell her before you start to show or she'll be mad you didn't tell her before.
Think of it this way- ur 18. Your mother might be angry at first but she will get over it. It's better to have a kid at 18 than 60. When that kid is born you will totally forget the whole "im a teenager" situationand so will your mum. My mum had me at 18, she married my dad at 17 and they've been together ever since havin 2 more children. dont worry about it- just tell her
She might be a little surprised/ disappointed, but I'm sure once she gets over the shock she will be excited about being a granny. Just sit her down and tell her. Its the only way.
just tell her get it over and done with i was in same situation and my mum reacted really well do it by yourself, ask her out for lunch and break the news
your over the age of consent and you have been with your boyfriend for 3 yrs im sure she will understand and be supportive just tell her
good luck
It sounds like you need some support at the moment, and who better to do that but your mum.
I was pregnant at 18 years old too, I was so scared of telling my mum, but i did and she was great, yeah sure, she was annoyed with me at first but she calmed down.
I had a beautiful little girl called Eden and my mum was there with me the whole time. Since then we have had a great relationship. If anything your mum can go through all of your options with you and at the same time she can support you.
GOOD LUCK XX
im 19, 18 when i got pregnant. Telling my mom was the hardest thing i had to do.
My mom was and still is one of the most important people in my life. She was the only one i had while growing up. And it was even harder to tell her because i lived so far away (5 hour drive). I had to tell her over the PHONE! but she was happy. She couldn't believe i was going to make her a grandmother.
Since then, i've moved back to my hometown with my fiance and we've never been happier. Im now 29 weeks pregnant with my baby.
Hey mom guess what the funniest thing happened to me I MAY BE PREGNANT then explain what happened
