Father material

Today, I did a pregnancy announcement with my boyfriend and our families. My boyfriend acted happy until we were driving home, then claimed I pressured him with witnesses, started to cry because he doesn’t want kids, and by the end was begging me to give it up for adoption. FML

Yeah, sorry, hold on. You absolutely do not announce a pregnancy to your boyfriend at the same time as everyone else in your life. You talk to your partner and the baby's father before you make a big announcement. And you should also probably take into account whether you have even had a discussion about kids before and if either of you are actually ready.

Wait... You didn't tell your bf before you told your families? It also sounds like you hadn't discussed having kids with him before either. YDI

Be prepared to raise the baby without him, if he keeps insisting to give it up and you want to keep it. Sue for child support.

Yeah you totally deserved this one. Sounds like you guys did not discuss this at all. Which is a major life decision unfortunately, Based on what you said, it sounds like you're going to raise this kid by yourself.

Why would you not tell your boyfriend before your families? And it sounds like you didn't use protection, in which case YDI. And it also sounds like you guys never even discussed kids... so why were you not using protection???
