Hello everyone!I recently found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I know from the title of my post you may be thinking that I'm teenager but I'm not, I'm 21 years old!I moved in with my boyfriend of 2 years about 2 months ago, I came off of birth control just over a month ago as we wanted to begin trying for a baby in around November time. Apparently, our baby wanted to meet us sooner and I found out I was pregnant last week. My partner is 28 years old, just to add.It's my first child (Well, obviously) and will be my parents first grandchild. The issue I have is that my relationship with them hasn't always been plain sailing. We didn't have a good relationship whilst I was growing up and they only recently started to make me feel 'involved' again once I moved out.You guys may presume I was a difficult kid, I wasn't at all. They just never had the time for me as I've got a severely disabled younger brother and a 6 year old sister. I think they took many of their problems out on me as they were frustrated and unhappy.Last night we were at a family party and my cousin, who is 26 and married recently had a new baby. We were all aww'ing over this tiny baby and I said "I'm going to have a baby soon. I want a baby." (To see how everyone would react) My grandmas response was very positive, she said "Yes I agree with having children young, you'd be an excellent mother anyone can see that from how you've helped raise your younger sister." My dad looked sort of uncomfortable as though it wasn't something he wanted to discuss and my moms response was "I don't mind if you do or don't have a child."You guys may be thinking my moms response is positive, however I've known my mom my entire life and all of her quirks and sometimes she puts a show on for family members. The truth is, if I admit my pregnancy I'm terrified she will start a massive fight and be really angry. I wouldn't put this past her.I just really need some advice. It's hindering my happiness over the pregnancy but I just don't know what to do. My parents don't pay any of my bills and I never even contact them unless it's to babysit for my younger sister. It's not as though I'm dependent.What do you guys suggest?Thank you. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xeerrX
