Just had to post because I'm feeling so chuffed...I'd posted on the main pregnancy board about wondering how to tell grandparents who weren't going to be happy, as my parents do NOT like the idea that I would be pregnant without being married.
Well, I finally worked up the nerve to tell them -- and unfortunately, it went pretty much as expected. My mother was able to say "congratulations" before embarking on the "we still don't approve, it's so embarrassing, what will we tell family and friends," and my father said, "well, that's...thank you for telling us" before changing the subject to politics and gardening so fast it made my head spin.
I thought I was prepared for it, but I was still really, really saddened after the call. So I started calling/emailing other family members -- and the response was just so wonderful and positive and excited, I wannted to cry. I'm sad my parents can't be pleased, but I'm very lucky to have an extended family whom, even though I only see them once every couple of years, are unquestioningly supportive and thrilled at the news.
