Just told my parents....

I feel your pain! I'm 21 and me and my partner are TTC but im scared to tell my parents! I know my mum is just waiting for the "Im pregnant" call and she would be thrilled i think but for some reason i feel i cant tell her im trying as i dont want the "you're too young...you've got your whole life ahead of you" speech. Id much rather have them think it was an accident which is really sad!! But congrats on the pregnancy, im sure once they see that little bundle of joy all doubts will be forgotten!

so glad your mum is now ok with everything... it just takes time....

even though both MIL , FIL and my parents have been great about us having all our kids ( well FIL has now pass over and MIL not so happy about DD2 ) I am paking it about telling her about us TTC #4 ( not that we are going to tell her )as I know she thought we shouldnt have had our 3rd, but it her loss not mine... It will be the same if and when we fall UTD with our 4 th I dont think I will tell MIL about it will leave that to BHL, who she will tell him how stupid we are blar blar blar, in the end its your life as long as you are happy with what you are doing then thats all that matters in the end, you are about to start your own family who will become your number one and your parents will have to take 2nd place from now on sometimes this is hard for them to get used to.....

Thanks Tali, you're right I think it just takes some time for them to process it. My dad surprised me on the weekend when I was on the phone to him, he asked how the baby was doing. Such a simple question, but he's never mentioned anything about it, or anything to do with it before, so I think he is slowly getting used to it as well. I still feel so awkward with him though, maybe it's one of those things that is going to take a long time to mend...
For everyone else that's replied (sorry I can't remember you all, and I'm too lazy to go back and look! Lol) thanks for your thoughts too, and for those that are going through the same thing, I never would have believed it would get better, but it does, eventually! Although I was thinking about it the other day and I dont know if I could go back and tell them again! Number #2 will be interesting..but that is a long long long way off...better concentrate on #1 for now!!
