Now that I know I'm pregnant, although there is still a lot going on with that, but how in the hell do I tell my parents.. they both flipped when I was pregnant with my son.. they both told me they wanted me to have an abortion, however now they regret telling me that. I'm so nervous to tell them cause my family is my world and I don't like being a disappointment to them.. my boyfriend is obviously very supportive and said if I can't tell them he would and I know he would never leave me or not help me but its so hard...

Grit your teeth, say a prayer to the great Mother Goddess and go for it ! You know your parents better then we do, so I don't know what can be said. Good luck, though, you will need it, we all do in times of indecision.

I Don't Understand Why You Can't Tell Them. It's Not Like You Don't Have A Supportive Bf. Do U Guys Live With Your Parents? How Old Are You? If You Don't Mind Me Asking. But Either Way You Should Just Tell Them. They Are Going To Find Out Sooner Or Later. You Have The Child's Fathers Support That Should Be All You Really Need.

Let your son do it... buy him a shirt that says Im going to be the big brother... no one can get mad at a kid... they will most likely be overjoyed!

Brianne I know how you feel girl, in fact before yesterday I was actually going to ask how your parents would react if you told tehm you were pregnant again. Look at the end of the day what can they say its too late now although I would just wait till you know for definite that you are pregnant and everything is OK. Keep your chin up sweet cheeks

You just have to let them know that its you and your family now.. they should be happy to have grandchildren.. if they flip out just let them know that you and your husband are very happy and that you want them to be happy too and who knows they may not flip out anyway they may be even happier this time

You're right... there is nothing you can do about your parents lack of respect for YOUR family. My mom was in the same boat. She is welsh and married my father who is persian. My aunts called me "the n word" when I was 4 or 5 years old. They also told my mom when she was pregnant with my younger sister that she should have an abortion.
You shouldn't settle for anything less than 100% support from them. If they come around... good for them. If they don't, cut them out of your life. You'll only be better off. It's not healthy to have such incredible negativity surrounding you. If you let them continue to hurt you and create drama, it will suck for your kids and put pressure on your relationship with your boyfriend.
