My parents aren happy

[mal0980]

My name is Maggie and I am 34 year old single mom, I have a 6 year old son named Trip. I am also an accountant. Anyway my problem is this, Back in May while I was working out at the gym I met sweet and wonderful guy Craig, we hit it off and I gave him my number. We went on a date the next night and after we went back to his place were we had sex. It wasn't till our 2nd date till I found out he is 21 I admit I was surprised, but I realized I have reel feelings for him and we kept seeing each other more and more. I invited Craig to my son's birthday party to meet my son and the rest of my family, but when my family found out he was 21, they weren't happy and told me that i can't possibly think this will be serious, I saw their point and I told them I will think about my relationship with him, but Craig convinced me not break it off. So I told my family that I will continue to see him, they weren't happy at all, but my ex husband Will is very supportive of me and Craig so is my sister Lucy. Last week I found out I was pregnant when I told Craig he was so thrilled and he asked me to marry him, I said yes, when I told my parents and other family members they said I am making a mistake, I was so pissed I left. How do I make my parents see what Craig and I have is real and that we will be married? and I am having his baby.

Are you sure you are an accountant? As in CPA?

[mal0980]

yes I am why?

[Junket]

21?

Yikes.

Sex on the first night?

Yikes.

21 year old males are fickle.

I only know this because I'm 22.

The CPAs I know seem much less impulsive than you... it's a pretty conservative field. Your behavior doesn't match your occupation.

I am not like other CPA's, i am always impulsive

I'm not sure there's anything you can do to "make" your family see your relationship the way you do. Your family is being honest with you. Perhaps instead of getting pissed, you should try and listen to what they're saying to you about your relationship? They probably don't feel like a 21-year old is mature enough to handle a relationship with a thirtysomething woman, nor to be a father. Why? Because most 21-year olds are not.

I wouldn't expect blind support from them on this issue. The best you can expect is for them to just tolerate your decision.

[vashti]

I think you should expect that the rest of the world will likely find this odd, too.

[mal0980]

your right starbuck, I will try to listen and see where they are coming from, I don't want any bad blood.
