Do I tell my mom?

Question

I'm 18 years old, and currently live at home with my mother. About 2 years ago I asked my mom what she would ever do if I ended up pregnant and she said she'd kick me out of the house. Me and my boyfriend of 1.5 years started having sex about 4 months ago (my first time). I come from a Christian family and I know my mom would highly disapprove of sex before marriage, and I'm scared that she would kick me out or be too upset to even talk to me. I love my boyfriend, and I love having sex with him. I don't want to stop, and I don't plan on it. Is this something I should tell my mum though? One part of me says I'm an adult and I'm allowed to have a sex life without my mother needing to know, another side says I should be open and honest about it. I just don't know what to do

Answer

You're an adult you definitely don't need to tell your mother you're having sex. You don't need her permission or judgement.
If you fall pregnant and live with her then you should but you're an adult

Answer

I'm almost 20, and still have not openely said to anyone that I've been having sex, and I'm literally 20 weeks pregnant. 😂
You don't have to tell her that, especically if you don't share the same view on that subject. It's your personal life. Not your public life.

Answer

I had a similar experience with my mom. I love her to death!! But I do not agree with her about sex. Living with her makes things harder, because yes you are an adult but living under her roof. When you move out things get simpler. After fighting and fighting, arguing a lot, my mom and I came to the conclusion we are never going to agree. You gotta talk to her about not always agreeing, that happens when us girls grow up. We just don't always agree with Mom. You're an adult, if you are your boyfriend feel good and happy about your decision just stay confident in that. Your mom will love you no matter what, just wait and see.

Answer

This makes me so sad because I feel like i have come from such an open minded family. I mean I don't sit and tell details but I always can go ask for advice or joke around etc..

My advice would be to just do what feels right to you but their might be consequences and is it worth it?

I'm sorry

Answer

I was in this situation when I was younger. I had unprotected sex with a boyfriend when I was 15 and my mom was too worried about me being pregnant to be mad about it. I promised that the next time I would have sex with someone that I would've been in a committed relationship with them for a while. I stuck to that for a little bit, but I like sex so I didn't exactly stick to it. She doesn't know. She does know, however, that I have sex with my boyfriend now. We've been together for almost 8 months and he's put a ring on it, so we're definitely committed. I don't tell her anything (she's a nurse so I asked her about UTI's and when she asked if I was having sex I was honest- I have an extreme honestly policy with healthcare professionals) and she's made it clear that she definitely doesn't approve, but I'm 20 years old and I'm in a different state. I would take extra precautions to make sure you don't get pregnant.
