Question for teen mothers

I'm just curious, how many of your parents DIDN'T come around after you told them you were pregnant? Did they cut you out of their life? Did they make you move out of their home? How did you handle not having your parents by your side through such a hard time?

I was 20 but my family kept their distance since I droppeed out of college to have a baby. But once they saw I was a good mom and didn't hop on welfare and went back to school, their cool now.

It's always good to hear about that.

I got pregnant at 17, had him at 18 with my first. My family was surprisingly supportive of me for the most part. My dad is very religious so he was disappointed that I had premarital sex and wasn't marrying the baby's father even after that. He refused to help me with anything after that because he thought it'd make me pop out more kids  . Now I'm 25 and just had my second child. Lol he's disappointed that me and my SO aren't married but oh well.

I got pregnant at 17, had my son at 18. My parents, including my step mom were all young parents, before 16. I had already graduated high school, was in college, and had moved out. They were all really supportive!! They all got super excited about the one I miscarried as well.

Me and my now husband, he is also the father of my children learn don't even come close to qualifying for any state assistance, not even wicked, so we can filly support our family! So I guess there really proud of us.

Dh's parents were just mad that we weren't series before having kids.
But we found out we were pregnant right after Dh's brother died, and my mil is going to go nuts when we tell her were having another!! She is and has been harassing us for over a year about having at least one more, since she knows there is a girl in there somewhere.

My mommy was disappointed but nothing serious because I was almost 18. But as soon as I found out, I did a lot more on my own. My dad and I had a really rocky relationship before my pregnancy so it didn't help matters. He only calls when he needs something. My mom though is my best friend, she helps me emotionally get through this.

my dad didn't speak to me since the day I told him I was pregnant (black friday) up until the night I went to be induced. He didn't even want my son to be born. He cried to me in my hallway saying he just wants everything to be okay. He ended up being there the whole 13 hours I was in labor, and every single day I was in the hospital. He now loves and adores my son, has his own nickname for him, and was in the hospital with us when LO was in there too. When LO was rushed to the ER on saturday, nmy dad was the first one there. They will come around! just give it time!

and another thing, my ad wanted me out from the moment I told him I was having Logan. and he was persistant on me not living there with the baby. Now, he continues to beg me to move home, and since I can't now - he continuously begs for me to bring "Winston" ( his nickname for Logan) over all the time.
