writes:i am 10 weeks pregnant and it has just started to sink in after finding out a few weeks ago. My partner in over joyed and i told my mum the other day who is also pleased at becoming a grandmother. However she did say that my dad will be sad and dissapointed to begin with as he doesnt like my partner and had hoped at the age of 25 almost 26 i would achieve more in life. I am 25, working full time, over the years i have travelled to australia, lived in corsica and lived in greece, been on girly holidays, partied and drank till the early hours of the morning...... i feel i have done alot for my age, more than most my friends. My mum is going to break the news to my dad and i am so worried how he is going to take it. I love my dad to bits and i don't want to let him down or him be dissapointed with me. Any advice?

 You are a full grown woman. You and your partner are happy, you sound like this is something you want. Grow some high balls and woman up! Send him a card telling him how excited you are. I bet he'll be thrilled to be a granddad. This should be a time for celebrating, not worrying. He loves you. All parents want their children to achieve everything they can. Unless you plan on being a stay at home mom, you have plenty of time ahead of you to achieve more great things and make him proud, including raising a healthy child.

 I agree with marieclaire. Your dad loves you, and he wants you to be happy. He may be sad because his little girl has reached another turning point in her life, but I think you need to hold your head up high. Show him you're happy.

 He doesn't know and I bet you he is going to be thrill with the idea of becoming a grand daddy. If he reacts differently than give it time and you will see with the birth of the baby and him carry him him/her in his arms his heart is going to melt and spoil your baby rotten.

 Ok you are almost 26 so he needs to accept that you are an adult and you have your own life. Yes you have done a lot for your age and he needs to accept that now you are going to settle down. Try not to worry about this he may be a bit upset at first because you are his little girl but once it sinks in am sure he will accept it and will be a proud grand father when the baby arrives. Try not to stress yourself out over this, it is not good for the baby. He will love you no matter what. Plus he should be happy that you have a partner there to support you. He will accept it after he lets it sink in. Goodluck.
