Don't do it. You need all the support you can get, and if you already know they won't be supportive when you tell them, then it will only cause more stress on your girlfriend and she doesn't need that kind of stress or negativity throughout her pregnancy. I cut my family off entirely because I knew they would only cause more stress than good.
@badadvicemom, her family is going to love it. I know my family could go either way, so I have no idea! That may have to be our first move with my mom😂
We just bit the bullet and sat them down and told them. Rather than just saying I am pregnant to my dad I said your going to be a grandfather (idk seemed a little less blunt I guess lol) and with my mom me and my boyfriend took her to eat then just let her know. I mean they can get mad all they want but it wears off and they will get excited over the new life you’re bringing in this world.
It’ll all work out for the best. Just try not to stress too much and don’t let negative people in, being stressed won’t help anyone and could hurt the baby
@isaacstrait, You can just tell them, and if they don't approve just make sure to not let it affect you guys as much. You both made it this far without telling either side, so there's a possibility that they'll support you guys. It would be a different story if you both just found out... that's when families throw termination in your face and use the "you're both too young" card which is bull. If you both know this is what you want and you can do it together, then that's all that should really matter!
@peoplecallmesatan, we haven’t been able to really talk to anyone so I’m glad I found this app! Thank you! The only thing that we are stressing about is my family. I hope they will understand that it’s not a big deal, and teenage pregnancy happens all the time. I just hope they are supportive!
@isaacstrait, I was scared too trust me. I got pregnant at 19 and I still live with my dad, my boyfriend and I were really scared but knew hiding it wouldn’t do us any good it made us so stressed. It was honestly a relief after telling him, at first he was upset but never yelled or anything. Now we make jokes about it and he is so ready for him to be here. I hope it goes well for you guys.
@isaacstrait, If they do, that's wonderful! and even if they don't, then tough. I'm sure as the months go by and they see how committed you two are they will come around, but if not then who needs them! Your girlfriend doesn't need any added stress! If you guys have any other questions or concerns, etc... I'm happy to help, so feel free to message me anytime! 😊

Send them a package so you don't have to do it face to face. That's what I did with my mom.

@malainaheka23, that’s the thing! I don’t know if they will be supportive or not because my side of the family has always had kids when they were 25+

I mean, I have a very good career ahead of me, I’m getting an apartment of my own and if we really had to, my girly could be a stay at home mom.

@malainaheka23, that is a very good point! I really hope that once they realize that the baby isn’t going anywhere they will support us!

@peoplecallmesatan, I hope it goes well for you also! I’m not so worried about the money/financial part. Just the telling family stuff.
