Q: Telling Your Parents

I just told my parents last night that i'm pregnant. My mom took it well but my dad and my sister didn't. I was just wondering what some of your parents thought and how long it took for them to come around.

Hey sweetie, its normal for parents to take it harshly for the first little bit you are there lil girl still remember. Its a bit of a shock but most parents come around! Myself I had to tell my now in-laws not my own parents b-cuz they're not with us anymore. Anywho scott and I told them and they were excited lol. They've been trying to convince us to have kids since I was 17 and he was 19 lol now im 19 and hes 21. Give them a little time and hopefully it'll get better ~melissa

It took my mom until just a few months to get over it. And my son is now 6 months old. My mom got so bad that she go involved in crack cocaine. Some of us aren't as lucky as others..Like me...I am praying for you , and I think that you are a very strong person for accomplishing someting like that, it take a lot of courage...Good luck!!

All parents will get over it. And if they don;t, their love isn't strong enough. We are all humans, its a natural thing..Just have to deal with it. I hope to god that when I have children they dont' have kids a teens but if they do, i'll be there eventhough i'll be disappointed not because of what happened (noone can controll it if you are having sex) but that thier lives will change too early but I would be supportive and made sure they finished school and went on to college..I'd be there 100% to make sure they would have the best life no matter what.
Hey, my mom had me at almost 17years old. I came out well, although she was an irresponsible mother.
Oh well, some of us are made to be mothers, some not.

Well
I look at it this way: you are their baby. You cannot expect your parents to immediatly love the idea of you have a child while you are still so young. If you tell your parents that you are preggy and they through a party, something is wrong. Parents are entitled to be upset, angry, and even hurt. But in time most, not all, but most, parents get over it, accept it, and possibly even learn to (in caps) love it!

first off... can you please try to make your post readable. It is hard to read your english. if your worried about your mom you shouldnt be having sex in the first place, especially without a condom. if he did not cum inside you you are most likely not pregnant.
