Knocked up

I’m 47 and I’ve been having sex with much younger men for a while.
Just found out I’m pregnant. The father is 21.
Not sure how I go about telling him, or whether to tell anyone. I’m not getting an abortion.
Seriously thinking about not letting anyone know who the father is, we’d get in so much trouble in our small town.

For fuck sake.. these comments are really pissing me off.
I absolutely don’t agree with the age difference but she’s not asking if I agree or not. Would I like it if it were my son? No.
So many people here are angels. She hasn’t done anything wrong yet. She is legal he is legal. It would be absolutely wrong if she didn’t tell him. Give the woman a break. It could be the 21 year old driving the relationship.

Congratulations, if you want to keep your baby then that is your choice! Sing it proud and bugger what anyone else thinks!! I’m from a small town, let them talk. They’ll always find something to gossip about. Don’t deny your baby their family because of some small minded gossip.

The father has the right to know. Plain and simple.

What a predicament.
The father needs to know. What if your child had some medical issues down the track and needed family history? He's obviously not a safety concern to you so why hide such a big thing from him and your child?
It can literally be life altering for some people if they find out as an adult their parent lied to them their whole life.

Also, from a future point of view, are you okay with your kid being the centre of ridicule in a small town? You know it'll happen. You said yourself that you two will be talked about. It'll happen to your kid too.
People can be so cruel.

I would honestly abort if this were me. I know that sounds awful but I don't think you are looking at this from all angles and seeing the reality from bringing a child into the world in the circumstances you're in. Your age is a huge factor to consider in all aspects too.

I’m sorry but what a horrible thing to do!! You made a decision that you’re not wanting to get in trouble for, don’t punish the child for it.
Put your big girl panties on and do the right thing!!!
