Please people i will go straight to d point, my 18years old younger sister told me on monday morning that she is pregnant, now abortion is out of the queston. The issue right now is how do i tell my mom who has been through thick and thin to raise us up considering the fact that she is a single parent, our father can be said be an absent father. Jesus am so heart broken, the responsibility of an eldest child has come knocking on me, pls nairalanders help me suggest how you think i should tell my mum

DonCortino:
She has to have d baby! There us nothing u can do. Or better still marry d person responsible for it.

CrazyQuinn:
You and your sister are screwed

Merryglad:
are you married Sadduce

1. Find a time when all three of you will be free without interruptions.

2. Make sure the environment is a serene, calm one. The parlour will do if you live in your own house. If u live in a community environment take the discussion to the inner room or bedroom.

3. Begin by telling your mom that something terrible has happened. Dont tell her immediately what it is. Tell her it involves the health of your junior sister and that no matter how bad it is, life goes on. This thought will make your mom's mind run wild but calm her and tell her to please listen with patience.

4. If your mom gets violent and wild REFUSE TO GO ANY FURTHER UNTIL SHE HAS CALMED DOWN. Tell her u will not say any more until she relaxes. If its too much walk out with your sister until she calms down.

5. If your mom doesnt get violent but listen calmly then its time to drop the bombshell. Tell her without mincing words : Ifeoma is pregnant.

6. Allow her to react. Give her time to shout or cry or whatever. Do not let her get violent with your junior sister for any reason but let her pour her emotions out.

7. Your junior sister should proceed to kneel down on the floor and apologize for bringing this calamity upon her mother. She should be sorry from the depth of her heart.

8. Your mom will take over from there.


All the best.

@merryglad Kai, 18yrs old girl is pregnant? the deed has been done, no need crying over spilt milk. Breaking the news to your mother will surely be devastating because she will feel she has not done her job very well as a single parent. I really feel pity for your mum but the man that got your sister pregnant must accept the responsibilities of the baby, his family must be involved and they should be ready to take care of both your sister and the baby.

CrazyQuinn:
Nope

the first question i asked her was what she plan to do after giving birth to the baby...she said she wants to go back to school. Lets see how it plays out, thanks for your kind words

byvan03:
Sorry dear, just tell your mum. She can consider giving it up for adoption if there is no father in sight. She made a mistake, hopefully she learns.

Merryglad:
the guy has accepted the pregnancy, the only issue now is how to tell my mum, but thanks to nairalanders
