Q: My Daughter Is Pregnant
asked by: leeb on December 4th, 2004

(here it is again)
hello, I am father to a 17yr old girl. I was snooping in her room because she was thrown out of her mothers house last month and had to change schools and move to a differant state, she seemes very depressed, then some of my pain killers were missing.So I think I had the right (responability) to snoop, I found a letter to her boy friend that said she was pregnant. I ran out and bought a pregnancy test but now i'm not sure if I should give it to her or wait for her to tell me herself. I don't if i'll loose her if she knows I read it. I have tried to talk to her with no luck. I'm a single father and need womanly advise.
Thank you,
lee

Sweetie, I can give u a teenager's opinion. If that was me and my parents did that and confronted me with it, it would not turn out well... U need to give ur daughter some time and space. She needs to be ready to tell u. U can't force it or she will either close up completely or guard herself from u from now on. Whether u have good reason to snoop or not, snooping is still snooping, and she will feel like her privacy has been invaded. I think that will make her much less likely to talk to you about it. Give her time and when she is comfortable and ready, she will talk to you. She does need u, and i'm sure she's just waiting for the right time to tell u. I know that's what I would be doing. Good luck hun. I'm sure everything will be fine. Plus, don't let her see the pregnancy test u bought.

It was locked???

Anyways, I dont think u did anythign wrong. U felt like u didnt have so much trust and wanted to know what was going on. I know i'd do the same thing to my daughter.. Even tho shes probably be upset at me. Try to bring it up slowly.. Like ask how her life is and what not.. See if u can get her to talk to you.

Give her time and when you notice that her belly is becoming bigger overtime. Ask her and show her that you care and are and will always be there for her. The only guy a girl can depend on is her daddy. Good luck.

I wouldn't just hand it to her cause that would probably freak her out or make her mad..My aunt did that to my cousin meg (see post about my new baby cousin)and well she didn't hear from her for 3 weeks, she was okay just living with her sister but still. If you notice her belly or anything like that getting bigger ask her about it or say "is there something you wanna tell me?" that's pretty much what my mom did since I was a wuss and couldn't tell her.

Oh heeeeeck no! I am speaking from a parents perspective. It is not your job to make sure she is happy and doesn't get mad. If you think she is pregnant you need to do something about it .N.O.W. For her health and the baby's health. Go to her in a loving way, and let her know that you are here for her. Do not go about it angry and judging her. If she doesn't respond the way you hoped, so what? Also I saw your post in giving head to an uncircumsized man.......You are giving advice to girls just like your daughter!!!!!

If you don't want to wait for her to tell you, I would suggest a trickier method. Tell her that you noticed that there have been no *feminine wrappers* in the garbage for sometime, and you were wondering what was up, and if she needed to talk. Just be loving about it, and let her know that you won't be angry. Sounds gross that you would be looking in the trash, but hey, when I sit on the toilet for some reason my eyes are always drawn to the trash. Lol. That's when I see all my razors there and wonder what the hell my brother is up to......Lmao.
