A member of the community asks:
“I just found out I’m pregnant with my second child. My partner and I are super happy, and I know his dad and stepmom’s side of the family will be super happy, but we both know his mom’s side of the family will NOT be happy.
The only reason being our age and we live in a one-bedroom place but we plan on moving to something bigger. I’m 18 and he’s 20. We don’t think age is a problem because we are doing everything ourselves with no help at all. Do they have a reason to be mad? What should we say if they aren’t happy for us?”
