i just couldn't phone and tell them because i wasn't sure what they would say. So i sent my mum a tx and told her. She didn't reply so i sent my dad a tx saying has mum got the tx and he phoned me and said they were out shopping when she got the tx and she will phone me in abit when she has finished whats she is doing. My dad said congratulations and was ok but he said my mum was in shock still and she said that i should have phoned her, but my dad said he said to her if i had phoned her she would have gone mad at me. Well if she had of done i would have argued back i am 23 and i am a big girl now so i can do what i want. I have 2 kids already aswell.
Do you think i was right sending a tx and not phoneing her?

i told my dad by text that i had got engaged, i phoned him to tell him i was pregnant but told my sisters by text.

We are not a very big talking family so text message was normal for us, i guess it depends on what kind of relationship you have with your parents as to how you tell them things.

If your mum would of argued then i would have done the same thing to avoid teh greif, my nan is like that (she brought me up) we hardly talk atall coz everytime we do we end up fighting, so now my dad and sisters pass on info to her, its just teh way we are.

I wouldnt feel bad, they know, thats the main thing.

Thank you that has made me feel better Layla. She still hasn't phoned me but maybe she is thinking of what to say

Hmm I personally woudl have told her face to face of via phone. but texting was yoru decision and if that is what you felt was best then so be it. You know your fam better than anyone One thing for sure, it's done now so hopefully you can relax a bit!

I agree with what Layla said. It really depends on what type of family relationship you had. But If I know my folks would get grumpy with me, I would send a text too.

Well i get on with my mum but if i need to tell her anything i tx her, I wanted to give her time to think and not try to tell me what to do.
I planned this pregnancy and want the baby, but i just couldn't tell her face to face because we would have ended up arguing if she said something stupid. This way she can think before she talks to me.

Then that is a perfect reason for a text. when she calls explain to her what you just wrote.
