Today, I told my parents I was pregnant. They yelled at me until I started crying. I'm 31, married, and I have a good paying job. FML

What more do they want? Don't let your parents get you down, OP.

Sounds like there's more to the story.. Is the husband an ex con? Or abusive? Or unemployed? Have they been married or together long? Do they live far away from family? Do the families have a history of hereditary disease? History of this woman being emotionally destroyed by miscarriage or stillbirth? Are there mental health problems in the families? Are the parents-to-be both emotionally sorted? Do they have commitment problems? Did this hormonal woman over-react to a blase reaction? Is she and the husband in debt? Plus being married and having a job isn't reason enough to just pop out a kid. Babies should be wanted, not needed. Maybe they feel like it hasn't been thought through enough and feel like this couple is just doing it because of the "nothing completes your life like children" bullshit. Or maybe the parents are just butts who never approved of anything this daughter did or selfish bastards that aren't ready to be grandparents yet. Anyway, it's obviously irrational to react that way to that kind of news (unless you're still a child) but there's not enough information here to pass judgement.

I was also thinking that perhaps the spouse isn't exactly a trophy and they were probably hoping the marriage would end.

Yeah there's always more to the story, but it's fun to watch all the speculation.

Well there must be a reason they are mad. Maybe they don't think your capable of raising a kid or maybe they don't like your husband and don't want you having a kid with him? I'd talk to them about it and if they still are mad then whatever your an adult. They will get over it.

Stress is bad for the baby; I would avoid them during your pregnancy if they think that behavior is okay.

I feel your pain! My mother was upset both times I told her I was pregnant, and made me feel horrible - I was married, owned a house, good job. They eventually came around, but it still really hurts, and they're 7 and 9 now. I'm currently 4 months pregnant, and still haven't told my mom because I don't want the pain of her reaction.

I completely understand why you don't want to deal with your mother's reaction. She'll have to know eventually, though -- will her reaction be better or worse if you wait? Maybe you could tell her via a letter or email, and explaining in it how her reaction the last times made you feel and that you would like her to spare you that?

Has she given a reason why she's so upset with you having kids does she love her grandchildren?

#27, When your mom ask you why you never told her, tell her that. She ****** up with your first two pregnancies.

#27 - I don't know if it will be better or worse if I wait. But I bought her some soothers for a Christmas gift, so we'll see if she burns our turkey next Friday, LOL. #39 - She was mad about the first because I didn't wait to let my older brother have kids first. And the second because they still hadn't had luck getting pregnant. My two are the favourite among 7 kids now though. #42 - That's my plan if she asks why I didn't tell her sooner!!‎
