Hey everyone. I need some advice. My husband and I got married when I was 18. I will be turning 20 soon and we are planning on trying to conceive after this school year ends (8 months away) so I would be completing my associate’s degree. My only dilemma is when we got married my sister and her husband were very angry and disappointed. You are probably wondering why I am worried about my sister and not my mom. I do not speak to anyone on my side of the family except my sister and her husband’s family for other reasons. Anyway, the reason they were mad was we didn’t give them enough time to process that we were getting married. We are not planning on telling anyone except them that we would be trying to conceive. I also work with my sister’s husband. If you are wondering I would be taking off from my job to raise the child and we would be able to live off my husband income with no problem. So, does anyone have any advice as to how to tell them?

Just be straight forward at the end of the day remember this is your life. If you feel that you are making the right choice they should back you up. Talk to your sister about it. Family is very important so keep that relationship with your sis going strong! :)
