GrimmReality agony auntAre you ashamed because that your parents are pastors and your child is conceived out of Wedlock? Is that why you are scared of telling your parents?

We really cant help you if you dont give us any info to go on. Because saying you are pregnant and your parents will be mad without giving us any circumstances surrounding this means that we cant really cant give you Advice.

Your response to the first couple of posters is simply looking for reinforcement that you can tell your parents to go to hell regardless of what they think. While that may be good advice if we were writing scripts to After School Specials for young teenagers, that is not what we are here for.

the questions that Ask Older Sister is asking is based on the fact that your age shows between 22 and 25 and because we have no information as to what your current situation regarding the man involved, your living or financial status.

We want to be able to give you the best advice possible, but please consider that we really cant without you being a bit more detailed.

This isn't about them. This is about you and your baby. Tell them. Then worry about yourself! Stress isn't good for a pregnant woman. You need to be healthy and happy, so enjoy being pregant!. This is about you.

TasteofIndia agony auntYou're a grown woman. It's your body, your baby, your life. Don't worry about your parents, all they have to do is deal with it. But this is your family now, your child, and baby on the way... and I'm sure you're not ashamed of them! So be proud of who you are, and your new addition to the family. It's a blessing, and I'm sure your parents will recognize that when they get to see his or her little face. Tell them gently and in a positive way. If you are excited, they should be excited with you! They will respond to the way that you tell them, so be happy about it when you talk to them! No worries! Lay back and relax... it's good for your health.

they are not very good parents if they are ashamed of your actions are they? you are entitled to do what you want in life and having a baby is nothing to be ashamed of,and it is not thier place to be either. take care.

You're a grown woman. And this isnt the first time you have a child either. Take responsibility for your actions! Stand straight and give them the information and then move on with your life. Your life is your business. If they are ashamed thats their business and not yours.

mattie90 agony aunthow did they react when you told them the first time if normal they will probabllt react the same. but if they didnt act so well the first time they might act the same way again. so just be carefull and pick the right time to tell them.
