superson Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Personally I'd have done something the day after it happened... You don't have an unlimited amount of time to deal with it. Now that it's (I presume) too late to take the morning-after pill, I'd tell her parents as soon as possible. I mean, the more time they have to think it over, the better. They might be more mad now, but in the long run they'll be happy you told them now, whereas if they don't find out until she starts showing, they might always hold it against you that you weren't open about it right off the bat. Also, what about your parents? Just because you don't have to give birth doesn't mean it isn't just as much your child. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers. Alansson Alansson, woo woo woo!

superson Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 That's good then, have your family back you up if the other family gives you crap. I don't know what the legal age is, but when you (and your partner) have a baby, it's your child, and you get to make the decisions. Her parents should not be able to tell her or you what to do with your child. They have every right to be mad, but in this situation, besides punishing her, I don't think they can do anything else, such as not let you see her, because you are the father...

The Real ET Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Chop it up and make chunky baby soup. I'm always waiting for the chance to use this picture. :P In all seriousness though, you want to take care of the baby, that's what really matters. The baby is the most important individual in these situations. In my opinion, abortion is wrong, but if the baby isn't going to be cared for, what's the point of letting it lead the life of misery it's destined to lead. Tell the parents as soon as possible and just see what happens. If you're parents back you up (like you said), then use them for support. Overall, good luck and I wish all three of you (baby included) the best. Cowards can't block Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuziAngel Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Seeing as everyone has #1 covered, I'll tell you what I know about #3 "Does a child need to have to the mother's last name if both parents are under 18?" As far as I'm aware, the child can have absolutely any name you choose. I know a family who have chosen to not give their children surnames at all, which is a bit strange but appears to be legal. Please, whatever you do, choose wisely. The Poison Fairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperClipsYaaaar Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Chop it up and make chunky baby soup. Seriously, that wasn't even funny. I'd say jsut like everyone else. Tell them in a good place and time. There is no good place and time. His parents will have a negative reaction, no matter what the conditions are. Chatting about it on the internet, on multiple websites, is just delaying the inevitable and will make it even more difficult for him to work up the courage.

frogact Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I am speaking as a mom of teenagers. The best time to tell is now unless there are some extenuating circumstances involved such as the parent having an abusive history. You are children yourselves and your parents need to and most likely want to be involved in your lives in order to help you make the best possible decisions for yourselves and the grandchild. You have said previously that your family would be supportive. Are you worried that hers won't be? If that's the case, at least tell your family for now and let them help. Regarding your legal questions, you will need to research your state's child welfare code. This looks like a good place to start. http://dss.sd.gov/ jfroggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
