Should I lie about baby's dad?

Some of the reasons I don't want them to know is because he's really actually in jail and sells drugs and doesn't have a home/stable family. And he's also black which my family wouldn't be happy about it basically. And I feel like it's not their business. More than that we weren't even dating and were just hooking up. I mean I just want it to seem to be the best situation I can make it seem. It's bad enough I'm 17 and haven't finished high school.

I just told my aunt that I was pg. And when she asked about the dad I said we were dating briefly. I didn't even set out to say that really. I had a bf kind of still do. But he's not the father. He doesn't actually know about me being pregnant. But I told her that because I don't really want to tell her who the real dad is. It's really not their business either. If they find out they'd all be really unsupportive. My aunt is offering I stay with her should my parents decide to kick me out. If I told her who the dad was she'd turn and be completely unhelpful. I also said I wanted to do adoption and honestly I don't know if I do. I just wanted her to be as supportive as she could be basically. Should I tell my parents the same?

Honesty is usually the best policy. But it is not always the best option. I've certainly been in a position where I've had to lie about certain things for fear of being kicked out.

I would discuss your situation with someone independent who you can trust. Perhaps someone at school?

Also, you say your baby's father is black? Isn't it likely that they'll make a guess about the ethnicity of the father after your baby's birth?

Unless your boyfriend is also black, I think everyone will know when the baby comes out...

Tell your aunt everything. I think you might want to tell your boyfriend aswell, it should be his choice to either forgive you or move on, wouldn't be fair to just have him around for your comfort.

I'm sure your aunt will be supportive, even if she isn't, I'm sure there are other outlets that help people in your situation. Keep your head up! Good luck.

LOL, I suggest you go see a doctor and get diagnosed for retardation

And he's also black .

Can you please stop remaking the same thread but from a sliightly different angle each time

Which means the baby won't be white.... I think your parents will be able to guess the ethnicity of the father and your lies will come back and bite you in the ass.

Speaking as a mum of a daughter, I would say to you - be honest. You are going to need your family around you and if the situation is as you say it is, then you are going to need them more than ever. Parents frequently "come round"

You also need to tell this poor new boyfriend - he does not deserve to be wound up in your pickle.

You have some tough choices to make in the next few weeks. And it is a bit late to say - but next time use B******Y contraception
