    Actually its HER business to tell them... however since she thinks she can hide it and isn't showing the maturity to tell them herself... call them up and let them know they are soon to be grandparents.

    THere isn't an easy way if you aren't married to her... so just come out and tell them.

    Both of you should sit down with them in a quiet, private place and tell them together.

    And keep in mind the longer you hide this from them the more upset they are going to be about it. So sooner is way better than later.

    You tell them she's pregnant... if you think there are magical words that will not make them upset (again I assume you aren't married or engaged) there aren't any... you grow a set of gonads and tell them... there isn't an easier way to do it than that... they are going to figure it out in a few months then if you think they would be upset now... wait until they figure out you have both been trying to hide it from them.

    Welcome to life... you frequently have to to things you don't want to... that are far worse than poopy diapers a dozen times a day.

    Telling them she is pregnant is going to be difficult. But more important then telling them is telling them what YOU plan on doing. You need to tell them you will stand by her, help support and raise the child, discuss marriage.

    Another factor, is if you started having sex with her before she turned 17, then you could be guilty of rape.

    This is the first and only hint in this thread as to why this is in the legal forums.
