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.
