Should I Tell His Parents Posted: 09-12-03 21:05pm
I told my ex bf that I thought I might be
pregnant and that if I was it was his
baby. He told me that he didnt know what
to tell me and that he wouldnt be able to
help till after he got out of high school.
We are both in 10th grade. He is giving
me money for a test so that I can take one
before I talk to my mom. Should I tell
his parents my self if I am or what? I
dont know what to do? I want my baby to
have a daddy but I dont want to force him
into it even though it is his. What
should I do?

You should find out if you're pregnant
first, telling them that you might be and
then turning out not to be..Will cause a
lot of uneeded stress. You may want to
reconsider telling your mom later and tell
her now. She will be upset, but you need
help going through this, she can be there
for you. Unfortunately, I don't think it
would be very appropriate to tell his
parents. That should be something that he
should decide to do, and would you be
happy knowing that he was being a "father"
just because his parents made him...Sounds
a little childish. If you are pregnant
though, waiting until hes out of school is
a little unreasonable, you can't freeze
the baby after its born until its more
conveinent. The baby needs a father
right now!!! If you want him to help,
legally, you're supposed to go to court
and set up a child support amount. That
way, its a court order, its in writing and
it will be against the law if he doesn't
fullfill his obligations. He is legally
obligated to, so you're not forcing
him...The law is. If it turns out that
you're not pregnant, I hope you seriously
consider changing your method of birth
control. Good luck to you-

You should find out if you are pg first.
If you tell his parents and then your not
it will have caused a lot of problems for
nothing. So wait and see if you are or
not and let me know.
