YESSSSSSSSS!

[transatlantic]

I JUST TOLD MY MUM.



Well... wow... seriously... I dont think I've ever been more scared in my life!!!
I went through to her and i was stood there for MORE THAN AN HOUR before I could get it out.. but now she knows! YEssssss!!

 

[chezzabell]

was she ok???

 

[Londoner Claire]

Oh what's she say?

 

[transatlantic]

Me: Mum..
Mum: Yeah?
Me: ... nothing...

*an HOUR later*

Me: wouldyoukillmeifiwaspregnant?
Mum: *silence*
Mum: How do you know?
Me: Well how do you think?
Mum: Have you missed your period?
Me: Yes.
Mum: What about the symptoms? Do you have any?
Me: Yes. Most of them.
Mum: Whos the dad?
Me: It doesnt matter.
Mum: ..... okay
Me: youdidntanswermyquestion
Mum: Of course I wouldnt kill you. You're almost 18, Toni. Its your choice what you do.

*phew*

 

[Londoner Claire]

That was it? You don't live with her then I assume?

Sounds like you had nothing to worry about. I bet you feel glad to get that outta the way!

 

[transatlantic]

I do still live with her

 

[Londoner Claire]

No need to I wasn't critisizing. I just thought she would react a bit differently seeing as if it were me I'd be thinking you would be living with me with the baby.

 

[transatlantic]

Ahhh.. yeah.. Im hoping I can get my own flat by the time my babies born.. my mum is quite ill so I know a baby will be really stressful for her

 

[Londoner Claire]

Oh that's sad, sorry to hear that. Is the father going to help then or will you still be working?

 

[transatlantic]

Its alright. Dont be sorry The dad wont be helping, no. I'm not actually working at the minute. Im a full time college student but my mums offered to pay rent and baby stuff till the babies old enough for day care and I can get a job

 

[Londoner Claire]

Wow that's generous of her! Support makes all the difference.

 

[transatlantic]

Yeah it definitely does.
I dont know what I'd have done without her offering to do that. I'd have to have stayed here and.. thats just not an option lol

 

[Londoner Claire]

Yeah hard at your age as the council would have probably put you in a b&b or something. I think it's under 25. I had a mate who was stuck in one with her baby and boyfriend, it was disgusting and sharing a bathroom and kitchen with other people when you have a baby can't be nice.

My sons dads mum had a baby at 15, she was in the same situation, had another a year later and was given a house! Glad they don't do that anymore though as some just had babies to get a flat which I think is really bad and unfair on those working.

If you get a place yourself, you'll be able to claim Housing Benefit towards your rent anyway so your mum won't have to pay it all.

 

[transatlantic]

Yeah, a couple of people I know got pregnant and were given a flat.. I thought that was really disgusting behaviour. The poor babies get looked after enough to stay with them but not nearly as much as they should.

Im excited!

 

[Gaby]

Blimey, can i steal your mum? She sounds so understanding. Glad she didnt explode or anything ^_^
