There is a set of various ways to tell parents that she is pregnant, and all of them - are individual. The choice depends on relationship in family and also on that how independent became the daughter. Some, however, hesitate to start talking on this subject how pregnancy will become obvious.
To tell or wait until ask?
If there was a question how to tell parents about pregnancy, emergence of doubts that this news will be apprehended by them with pleasure is probable. However you should not lose the worst options in advance even if relationship of "fathers and children" is far from ideal. Nobody, except the immediate family, will be able to predict possible reaction more precisely. Therefore for a start it is worth understanding and what, actually, can be for parents this news.
It is important that parents no matter how there are relations in any given family, sometimes can also guess that they should become the grandmother or the grandfather. It is quite possible that they, knowing about it, will not begin to start a conversation the first, quietly expecting when an opportunity to talk about it is presented. And at the first conversation will be able to express sincere joy even if combined with slight alarm for the daughter.
However some parents who are especially differing in thirst for despotism and total control of children can try to take the initiative. As soon as they have the slightest bases to assume pregnancy at the daughter, they can demand explanations quite inconsiderately. In this case it is also possible to work differently, in advance having secured, for example, with the help someone from relatives. If the greatest nervousness causes a conversation on this subject with the father, it is worth talking for a start quietly to mother, or on the contrary. Having talked separately to someone from relatives, it is possible to calm down, first. And secondly, to see new options of development of further events or to think up the best form for a conversation on this subject with parents.
Joyful, but such unexpected news...
Sometimes, that the parents who earlier more than once were playfully asking the daughter about when she presents to them the grandson in fact are not ready to similar news at all. Vozmozho, sometimes they also cannot formulate the emotions - fear or concern, discontent or confusion or maybe even anger or panic. According to experts, the people inclined to unpredictable and extremely strong emotional reactions show them from time to time, that is similar "explosion" should not become surprise for the pregnant daughter. At similar development of the situation it is possible only to try to put a conversation on the right track at once. For example, together to think of how to call the girl or the boy, or to be puzzled with discussion of practical questions - arrangements of the nursery, the choice of maternity hospital, purchase of furniture and clothes for the newborn, etc. Usually it is capable to return self-control to people even after a strong emotional shock. Thus, future grandfather, five minutes ago with bitterness thinking of the unfinished university and the forthcoming expenses, can switch to the choice of a carriage without serious consequences. And the grandmother who was taken aback from unexpected, but such joyful news with pleasure will turn over in the mind reserves of fabric from which new things for the kid can turn out or a curtain for the children's room, without lamenting any more that the daughter is not married.
