I can understand my dads view on things i guess, but its just mum that bugs me the most.
I know she hates the idea of being called nana lol as she is quite a trendy mum, doesnt want to look her age(she doesnt try and dress young or anything she is just...trendy lol ,shes a hairdresser!) so having someone call her nana makes her cringe lol

i wouldnt say they are disapointed in me, as they can see that i am happy..finally..I dont know what it is with them. My main guess would be denial, they are in denial that they are about to become grandparents. But I am 25 lol, my mum was 23 when she had me.

I haven't really read all the replies but I'll tell you my story. I was 19 when got pregnant with Jack and living in Nelson with a boy they didn't really know (and we had only been together a few weeks) so I got my sister to tell them and man they flipped my sis warned me so I didn't answer my phone (in hindsight I probably could of gone about things a bit better). I came down to see then cos they hadn't talked to me and I was quite sad about it, Dad told me to get and abortion, Mum took me to councelling to try and talk me into an abortion. Dad couldn't care less about the whole thing but did help out a bit when we moved. He actually got really protective at the end and didn't let me drive anywhere.

Now they are totally in love with both of them, Mum calls Jack her Jack and misses him if she doesn't see him twice a week. Jack spends every saturday with them in the garden. So they will come around and I bet ya when that gorgeous baby is here they will be proud to be called nana and grandad.

Have you spoken to your Dad about this Sheza? I'd be having a go at him TBH. Matts parents are really weird - When we told his dad about it in the beginning, he wouldnt speak to us (he's a jehovas witness and was freaking out about what the church was gonna say cuz we're not married) and his mum is always so bla about everything. Hes gonna be the first grandchild and theres no interest from them at all! MIL even makes me (well tries) to do heavy lifting etc when I go over to her place. Julian (FIL) confronted me about his religious problem, and I just told him straight up that i'd go to the church and sort them out if they were gonna be nasty to him about it - I have no problem doing that at all.
Then we have my dad.
My Dad maybe rings me once a month when he wants to know something, doesnt really show much interest - until he suprised me the other day by saying he's bought a webcam so he can see the baby when he comes (dad lives in the bay of islands and i'm in canty) His Mrs is really cool, always interested when I call.
Mum is great, really supportive. Mums partner is completely overwhelming at times - to the point I have to tell him to sod off home and leave me alone!!
Sorry for the long post - just remember Sheza that it's all about YOU and your partner/baby so talk to mum and dad about it. I'm sure they'll tell you why they are the way they are :)
