Well one half anyway! Told my mum on Friday that we are expecting...I got pretty much the reaction we had expected. She sounded very disappointed, like I have done another wrong by them, then started going on about how young I am (it's not like I am 16 years old, and I am in a committed relationship) and money etc etc (told her there is always ebay and garage sales, and we aren't struggling we live comfortably and the bills are paid).

I have had a few issues in the last couple of years with my parents- me moving in with my then BF, now fiance, then leaving uni, then getting engaged, and now this. It's just so frustrating, I would like them to be supportive and even if they don't agree with my decisions, at least act like they are happy for us. I am an adult and capable of making my own decisions and living with the consequences.

I didn't tell the whole truth...which is that I went off the pill, I thought it just might be easier to let her think that I was still on the pill when it happened, and tbh does it really matter if I was or wasn't The point is, it has happened, we are happy, once again everyone else we have told except my parents have been happy for us.

I haven't told my dad yet, but I am expecting the same reaction, if not worse...but luckily they live 6 hours away so there's not much they can do..lol
People have told me it will be different once the baby is here, but I don't see that it will change...just for once I wish they could be positive about something, and not seeing the negatives all the time!

My DF's mum has been fantastic, I've told her before I wish she was my mum So at least we know we can always rely on her for support. I just wish my parents would be happy for us!! Argh! We are spending a couple of days with them for christmas, I am dreading the approximately 48 hours we will be spending with them...I just know it is going to feel so awkward.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you got this far... it would be great if anyone has some tips for how to deal with them? (apart from not talking to them at all...that would be a good option! )
