Is it better to tell your parents you're pregnant with your boyfriend or alone?

my boyfriend wants to be there when i tell them but i told him that i wana do it allone first then well both talk to them or what do u think.

Answer #1

I would with my bf for support. and he should be there, its half his responsibility too.

Answer #2

If your parents like your boyfriend, then yes. If not, try it by yourself; it will help reduce the stress for awhile.

Answer #3

As a parent, I’d prefer to be told alone. No parent is ever ready to hear that their daughter is pregnant and the last thing I would want at that moment is to look at the boy who was responsible. Tell them yourself, let them deal with it, then you can bring him home to see your parents.

Answer #4

Better say it alone.

Answer #5

I don’t think it’s quite as simple as Hales said, but I agree with her that it depends on the nature and quality of the relationships involved - between your bf and your parents, between your bf and you, and between you and your parents. That means it’s sort of a judgment call. For example, if your bf has an excellent relationship with your parents (like if they happily see him as a future son-in-law), or if you have a really terrible relationship with them (so much so that you feel you need protection), either of those could be a reason to have him present. But in most cases, I would agree with Colleen.

Answer #6

ALONE.

Answer #7

alone

Answer #8

I had to go through that like in january, my boyfriend and i told his mom and my mom at the same time well he did so he can show he is responsible enough. Trust me its ay worse wen ur thinkn bout it but after its all amazingly good haha if you have an understanding mom and if you kno she will support you. don’t worry it isnt as scary as you make it seem jus go for it itll b alrght =)
