So I'm 18 years old. I just found out I'm 3 months pregnant. My mon n bf n his fam know but my dad dont. Hes really strict on me n im his only child. How can i tell him

ok so i dont mean to sound like im putting a downer on you, but i was in the same situation only im 17. im my dads only child, and he is what id call protective and strict. so.. i thought of ways to tell him, i thought of the whole cute grandpa things like people are suggesting to you, BUT you gota think, your 18, his baby having a baby, u dont want him thinking ur finding it all a joke and that ur being irrisponsible and thinking everythings amazig, (yes pregnancy is amazing) but hes probably gona be very upset.. id just tell him, no props, no facy stuff, just words. my mum told my dad i was that scared, but i was there..i live with him. id to go to my mums for a week he was that upset, but be soon came round. and wanted to know that everything was ok. im now 26+3 17 and a single mum to be, my dad is my biggest supporter. yours will be to. just think pf his feelings,

I saw a little onsie once that said "grandpas little angel" one that said "i got my grandpa wrapped around my finger" and another "if mom and dad say no call grandpa!" I would give him something like that or "worlds best grandpa" would be great too! It depends on if you should take your bf bcuz how does your dad feel about you guys being together? Does he really like him and think he's a good guy? If so then yeah take him cuz he should knee they your bf is planning on sticking around and not taking off but if he doesn't really like him and complains to you about your relationship like he thinks he's a low life and you need to move on or something i wouldn't take him cuz it will probably turn into a big fight with him thinking he's ruined your life and stuff

If having him there would make you feel more at ease about telling your dad then yes!!!!!

I am also 18 and pregnant. Telling my dad was the hardest part. He was mad at first then came to the conclusion that I was ok. He was more worried about me. My dad is also VERY strict. He Still isn't being very supportive but he's past the point if saying he was disappointed in me. I just sat down in told him. Sooner the better. I wish you goodluck

The sooner the better. I have seen some of the ladies post things like, get him a card saying congratulations your a grandpop!!! Or get a onesie saying worlds best grandfather....or just sit him down and tell him whats going on. He may be upset for awhile, but most parents get over it with time. He may be more upset if you wait longer and everyone else knows but him. Good luck dear, and Im sure someone else on here will have some advise.
