no.it's the fact that my parents are selfish and will only think about what will their snobby friends think about this...

Oh, I understand and truly feel for you. It's ridiculous to think what others will think!

When I posted that I meant in many other circumstances.

Hey, my OH told his family and they were over the moon about it, I told my mum and she seemed fine about it but my dad wasnt happy at all, partly because he doesnt like my OH hope he warms to the idea soon tho! Best thing to do is to tell them asap, we told our families the day we found out
XxX

hollie, my dad was on a massive downer at first over my pregnancy but he was worried about me going to uni, where we was going to live, money...etc
i got the "i thought you had more sense" comment thrown at me.
now however hes a totally different man, he asks questions about how im doing asked for a scan pic. and even cried this weekend over his grandchild to be (i had a scare). it may seem so daunting telling your parents but no matter how they react they'll come round its their grandchild.
i told my dad while he was peeling spuds and he cut his finger haha prob wasnt best telling him while he had a knife in his hand.

So glad to see this thread! I am 20 and DH is 21 and we've been married for almost 3 months. We aren't pregnant yet, but are TTC (actually in the 2WW right now) and I'm already dreading when I have to tell my mom.... Ugggg..... I work full time and I'm a student - she won't be happy... Hopefully the unhappiness won't last long and she'll come around.

None of my or my OH's parents know about our pregnancy yet, but I'm more worried about telling his parents than mine. I'm 20 so I'm expecting comments about being young from my rents but I think they'll be happy as they love children and always comment about babies when me and my OH visit them.

His parents can be really negative though, I think they'll bombard us with q's about money, ect... and won't even consider the good stuff.

- That's why we've decided to tell them together, lol. We're happy and have thought about everything a million times over, so they can figure things out together (and hopefully that'll balance things out).

Ooh, leavin it late hun. I wouldn't worry, I know that she may be upset, but it is your own life. And also I bet she will react better to the news than you think, I know my mum and dad did! I was hell nervous bout telling them, I took 2 of my cousins with me to tell my mum. lol. I'm such a sook.

i bet ur mum will suprise u and be so happy fo u xxx

I am 25, have been with my OH five years, Lived together 4 years etc etc but i was still dreading telling my parents. Anyway one day i just thought stuff it, and went and told them, they were chuffed.

You might as well get it over with and stop worrying, you never know they might surprise you! Good Luck
