When to tell?

Question

I'm 6 weeks today. My boyfriend already told his family.. but my family is extremely judgemental and I already have a 5 year old (I got pregnant when I was 17) ... I just enrolled into college to start this summer and everyone is super proud of me. Now I'm 23 and pregnant again and I'm terrified to tell anyone. They're all going to be so mad.

Answer

Honestly hun it's up to you.  And at the end of the day you have to figure out do you want to make your family happy or you and yours happy?  Rn the most important thing to think about is the baby and your family... Boyfriend and 5yr old.  Family can be the worse and can mess up good things... If they are still so judgemental after y'all been together for so long then there's something not right with them. Tell them that if your happy and he treats you and ur other child wonderfully, that's all that should matter to them.  If not you gotta cut the negativity out even if that means distancing yourself from your family.  I've gone through similar circumstances and I realized that my family was causing more harm then good and for a year or so I just cut it off. We have reconnected and are stronger but I need to let them. Know their negativity and judgements affected the relationship and for my mental and emotional well being I had to leave them until I was able to deal and articulate the feelings I was having

Answer

I'm turning 22 and I'm on the same boat. But you know what I thought .... I really don't care what they got to think cause this is something that I WANT . I'm married . Happy with my family . And I know what I'm getting myself into with 2 kids . Lol
