Guest Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I am pregnant and I am so scared to tell my family. I am mostly afraid they will not approve of with whom I am having a baby with. They HATE him, my friends HATE him. Will my friends and family ask who the father is? I am so afraid they will disown me or something. What would you do, please?? Link to post Share on other sites
Bogus4 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 TELL THEM! if they disagree explain that you love this man dispite their hatred for him. Say that you feel you two are in love enough to have a baby and comitt raising him/her as a family.(only if you truly are) whatever you do dont wait to tell them. your family and friends will be more angry if they find out you were trying to keep this a secret. why does everyone hate this guy so much anyways? if you dont mind me asking Link to post Share on other sites
norajane Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Yes, of course they will ask who the father is! If you have decided to have this child with him, then he will be a big part of your baby's life and your life for many, many years to come. He will also need to be financially responsible as well as emotionally responsible for being a father. You aren't going to be able to hide your pregnancy for very long, so you might as well tell them before they guess. And yes, why do both your family and friends hate him so much? Perhaps you ought to consider if they might be right and he's not such good father material. Adoption is always an option if you think parenting with him isn't going to work out.

Indeed, the first question that they ask will be "who is the father", if they don't assume it already. Don't worry about what your family thinks about your SO, they are your family first and foremost. They love YOU and they will love your baby. Regardless of who the father is. It may take them a little while to come around. But they will... Link to post Share on other sites

Jolene Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Will my friends and family ask who the father is? Of course. Then you will tell them. They will have to think about it for a few minutes. Then they will realize that you need them. They will also not want to stress you out too much since you are pregnant. Let it out and just buckle up, cause their reaction is the least of your worries. Think about your future as a parent and a provider. You have time to make a nice life for you and your baby. If the boyfriend sticks around, make sure he is supportive. Otherwise, you'll have to concentrate on what's best for you and your supportive family. If they care and love you, they'll be there for you, you can count on that. Good luck! Your family will help you and then you have to take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites
