How do I tell my family?

Just wondering how some of you guys told your parents about your surgery? I’m struggling to find the words, and even more worried of my mums response.
I think she will be fairly okay about the surgery, after having a good whine and moan, but I don’t know how she will react to me paying some of the balance on finance.
Anyone got any tips or advice they can share? xxx

I haven’t told my parents yet. I’m kinda hoping they won’t notice. I think my mum will be fine as she’s aware of how much I hate them now and she’s small herself. I don’t want to tell her as I’m keeping the amount of people who know as minimal as possible and my mum is a bit of a gossip lol xx

Hi ria, I was SO worried about telling my mum! I booked my surgery for 21st may in the first week in April and I only told her on Friday. I was so scared so I kept putting it off. I did it over the phone in the end, and I felt that after I old her if just worried myself too much. I was worried because as she was a single mum, so I knew she’d think it was a lot of money and secondly because I’m her Only daughter and I was worried she’d think I was changing my body. She was fine, mums only want you to be happy. She was more concerned about ensuring I’d done my research, and that the surgeon was reputable. She’s going to come with me on Wednesday. Just do it Hun, I spent weeks worrying which made the whole experience hard for me, but now I’m happy she’s part of it. she will understand xxx
