What will my parents say if I have a baby?

I am 18 and I want a baby but i’m afraid what my parents will say, they being big time christians and everything! I know that a baby is a big responsbilite but I Have sat down and thought about and I am ready, I know that your need a good job and thing like that and mostly love. I have known my boyfriend for 4 years and we have been dating for 2 months I have brought it up about having a baby but he wonts to wait till after he finish collage,but I wont one now. So my questions are what will my parents say and think, and how do I bring it up again to my boyfriend?

Answer #1

(boyfriend not husband) - Acccording to the Bible it would be wrong - your choice.

Answer #2

Why Not just wait till he is done with school and get married you can plan for marriage and a baby in the mean time think it all out and get ready…tell me what is the rush here? you have your hole life..by waiting you respect both him and your parents. ,… it will not hurt you either.

Answer #3

Sounds like your boyfriend has the right idea. He loves you, listen to him, and when the time is right, you and he will probably make wonderful parents.

Answer #4

Is it so hard to get married first? I’m sure your parents would love to have a grandchild that isn’t born out-of-wedlock.

Marry your boyfriend first, then bring it up again to him. Quit insisting that you’re ready for a baby until you actually have a full-time decent-paying job - which you can rarely get without a college degree. So buckle up and finish school first. Then we’ll talk.

Answer #5

Well, having a baby is a wonderful thing, but here’s some other things to think about…

Morning sickness Swollen feet and ankles Ouch! My aching back! The joys of labor and delivery. Dirty diapers. Never ending dirty diapers Never being able to sleep through the night A teething baby The “Waaah Waaah Waaah” of a crying baby Being soley responsible for a helpless little infant Not being able to ‘pick up and run’ whenever you want to Hiring and paying a babysitter Feeding, clothing, providing health insurance for the baby…takes a lot of $$

Your life is not your own after you have a baby…are you really willing to give all that up at the age of 18? Is your boyfriend? After all, he has a stake in this too and it sounds like he wants to wait until he is ready for the responsibility.
