Re: Please take the time to read this..
Hi, I hope that you still come back and check the responses to your post. First of all congratulations. I am happy to hear that both you and your boyfriend are excited about your unexpected miracle. I applaud your boyfriends mother for offering encouragement as well. I hope that your boyfriend continues to be supportive. My advice to you would be to proceed with caution. Your mother may simply need time to cool off. If it isn't reasonable to ask her to talk, perhaps you can write her a letter. Remember to not be offensive but clearly state your point of view and support it, and also ask her if you could talk calmly so that she could help you to understand why she feels the way that she does. Regardless of anyone's objections, this child will come to be if it is God's will and you will each have a role in the baby's life. Her as the grandmother, you and your boyfriend as the parents. I urge you to wait and not rush into marriage as it is a serious committment for two people so young. And with this child you are both already involved in a serious responsibilty. Continue to plan for and raise this child together, and if you do plan to be together, do it right. Make sure you continue with your education, and financially plan everything before you move in together. To be the best for your child you have to be the best you. And though you may be at odds now, it's nice to have the support of your family.
