So tomorrow is the day...(Kinda long vent sorry)
Original post by Stefanie
I'm going to tell my parents that I'm pregnant. We're going out for a birthday dinner and then after dinner, when my father opens his presents, I'm giving him a picture frame with 'grandma & grandpa' on it. Now everyone may say...oh what a cute idea, they're going to love it but my stomach is flipping over!
Anyone who knows my father, knows that he is a stickler for saving your money, waiting until you have a house before a child...yadda, yadda, yadda. He is a kind man, who is very opinionated and he'll tell you the truth to your face....like it or not. On a personal side, he has just overcome cancer and is on his way to recovery, so he has a new outlook on life.
So when I tell them tomorrow, I'm nervous that I won't get a positive reaction out of him...that he'll say...How are you going to raise a child in that one bedroom co-op or now you're stuck because you'll never save any money. I've held off for about 2 weeks (since I knew I was pregnant) and it kills me because I know my mother is going to be extremely happy. Has anyone been in a similiar situation or have any good words for me? Please???![]()
