Hi yall probably dont get many guys on here but I need help. I am 18 yrs old and I am a fire academy student in Texas. My gf is 26 yrs old and she is pregnant. She already has a 3 yr old child from a very bad relationship she got out of just before we got together. I lover her with all of my heart and I need help on how to tell my parents. She has already told her parents but they have never really given her much support in her life so they really didnt care about it much. My parents have had no idea that we have been dating for the past year and half now and I am worried that if I tell them they will be not only pissed off that I am going to be a father but also that they have never met her and that they will accuse me of lying to them the whole time we have been together. I am excited and yet scared at the same time that I am going to be a daddy but I dont want my parents to lose the trust and the inspiration they have in me that I have worked so hard to gain throughout my high school days. Any body have any advice on a good approach to confront them about it? ↓

You sound like a caring guy who doesn't want to lose the trust from his parents. I would say approach them in a sincere way and tell them what you said here.........

Tell them how you feel! Whats done is done. Its quite possible they may be upset, but being a parent myself I can say.... I think they will come around.

Good luck! ↑

you sound like a responsible guy who loves his parents very much. Good for you. I would do exactly like lindalu said, and if they get mad and yell at you, remind them that you are an adult, and this is their grandchild. there is no turning back now, cause as lindalu says, "whats done is done." there is a baby on the way and that is that. congratulations, papa!!! ↑
