Q: Convincing Your Parents

When you told your parents you were pregnant.. Did they want you to keep the baby from the very beggining or did you have to prove to them that you can do it.. If so, what did you tell them or what did you do that made them change their minds? If im prego my mom wants me to have an abortion, but I wouldt and need advice on what I could tell her and my dad so that I can keep my baby.

Aw! Thats really good, im happy for you.. Its also a lot better for the baby because you wont be stressed so much during the pregnancy.

If I know my parents they'll come around, and I doubt they'll kick me out.

Yeah I say stick to it and say im having this baby and there is nothing you can do about it. I was old enough when I was pregnant so when me and jose told her, she was shocked, she cried and she was very happy. So maybe you might get the same reaction later, just stick to your guns and tell them your keeping it.

My mom is really excited and she has been from the begining... She cant wait to get her hands on her first grandbaby to spoil! The only person out of my family, and from what I know, kevins family that was mad about it was my stepdad, but f*ck him, hes mad about everything lol... But anyways, just stand your ground, and hopefuly your parents will come around and realize its fun bein a grandparent... The joys of having a baby, but being able to give them back when your sick of them Laughing thats what my mom told me.. For the longest time she wanted to have another baby but she decided she was too old for that and didnt want to be tied down with another kid when her other two are almost old enough to get out of her hair and leave... She said it a good thing to have kids when you are young cuz then by the time your 40 you can just live your life without kids to be lookin after, then plus you will have more time to live with grandbabys, and possibly great grandbabys.... I dont know, its my moms point of view Laughing

Yeah.. You guys are very lucky to have such supportive parents.. The other night when we were out to dinner my mom was like why dont you like abortion and I told her, and im like adoption is always better then that and shes like well what about all tthe kids that are stuck in foster care blah blah blah.. So when I tell her him not getting an abortion and she says well then have an adoption ill just remind her of that =).. But when I tell her im pregnant I have 2 sites im going to show her on why you should support your pregnant teen, and ill also show her a pro-life report I just did .. And stuff like that.. I hope that they'll work =/, theyre going to have to! Lol

Bellax I have a better idea...How about not becoming a pregnant teen? You said your not trying to get pregnant yet you seem like your pretty sure that you are in fact going to become pregnant at a young age. At 14 a baby really should be the last thing on your mind and i'm not trying to be rude but I don't believe any 14 year old is ready for a child.

My mom did suspect I was pregnant, but didn't make me take I test. Dont know why..

Im deff not trying to get pregnant bc my bf and I decided not to have sex for a while now, cuz we're sick of worrying about it. Also, I know im always asking questions and stuff, but in an earlier post I stated taht I just like to think ahead and be sure of what im going to do.

Chrissy I didn't mean to offend you at all! I in no way meant that you were a bad mother at all simply that being 14 is so incredibly young and if its possible to prevent a pregnancy then it should be done. How are you and josh doing????
