Pregnant Woman Contemplates Informing Ex-Boyfriend's Parents

Advice Columnist Suggests Woman Should Tell Parents, Despite Ex-Boyfriend's Refusal to Acknowledge Unborn Child

  • 24-year-old woman discovers she is pregnant by her now ex-boyfriend, 'Tony', who refuses to have anything to do with the baby and demands a paternity test.
  • Tony has decided not to tell his parents about the pregnancy until after the birth and paternity is established.
  • The woman believes Tony's parents should be informed about the pregnancy as they would likely want to know about their first grandchild.
  • Advice columnist Amy Dickinson suggests the woman should tell Tony's parents about the pregnancy, as she has sole responsibility for the unborn child.
  • Dickinson also recommends the woman seek legal advice regarding her and Tony's mutual rights and responsibilities as parents before the child is born.
