this may be a weird question, but i just wanted to see what people thought of my situation:
i'm not saying this to be mean, but you have to know it to get the full picture - i have a cousin (21) who is sort of one fry short of a happy meal if ya know what i mean...she lives in another state and is now pregnant with the baby of a man of another race who she nolonger is seeing. i'm the only person in our family that she has told, but she claims that she is going to come to our home state (where all my relatives live) in december after having the baby without first telling anybody...my problem is that i don't want my relatives to find out that i knew and didn't tell anyone but i don't want to disrespect her by telling either...like i said, she's sort of odd and i know she won't understand where i'm coming from - anyway, she may not even come home cuz she never really does what she says, but it's still a big deal!

livvy712 answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 11:10 am: i think that you r being very matture about this situation. i think that you should just keep this whole thing on the DL cuz she really didn't want you to tell n e one until she comes home. or if your really haveing troubles hiding it i think that you can talk to your cousin and ask her if it would b okay to tell some one in your family. maybe your cousins mom (your aunt) should knoe. i think that that would b best because she will probably want her mom by her side in the delivery room.
i hopei helped you out sum
luv

Well no, you totally dont want to turn your back on her and tell everyone. But you should explain to her the position you've been left with.Explain to her when people find out you knew and didnt tell anyone, they will be upset with you. Tell her you feel like monkey in the middle. Ask her politely to PLEASE tell someone else back at home so they can atleast know the truth and send her things so this baby has some clothes. Tell her you were put in a very awkward position...
storageanddisposal answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 6:34 am: Yep, Dem other races always infectin' ou families wit'er poison seed. 'specially dem dere white folks, who needs'em. ASIAN POWER!! Alright, now that I got that out. How would they find out that you knew? Just tell your sister not to tell them that you know. What difference does it make if she's going to have a child anyway? She's 21, she doesn't need the families approval anymore. [ storageanddisposal's advice column | Ask storageanddisposal A Question ]
kevin1986 answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 2:56 am: You pretty much have to tell your relatives. If your nutty cousin has it the way she wants,they'll find out when she says "Oh by the way...." Or they may not find out until this kid is a couple of years old. She needs to tell her family and if she doesn't,you need to. This is a pretty big deal in my book and I would wanna find out about it. You're not disrespecting her,you're just not disrespecting your family.
