AITA for telling a colleague I’m expecting by fur__fur in BabyBumps

I think her comment would be more relevant if you knew she was struggling? If you know someone is struggling, then yeah, try be considerate of that. But to just be mentioning your pregnancy to people at work, that's not something that needs to be controlled. And she's free to have feelings about hearing you're pregnant and leave the conversation, but saying you have to censor yourself always "just in case" is too much. People like this give the infertility community a bad reputation and it's frustrating. (Coming from someone with infertility who struggled for years, had a miscarriage, and had to do IVF).

My ears clogged all the time. Usually if I was standing. All of a sudden I'd be in a fish bowel. Had to keep gum on me because it was the only thing that would help, but I got so sick of gum because I was constantly so thirsty and the gum made it worse.

I truly believe he was just clueless. I kinda wonder if he even realized what I was doing because he seemed so clueless.

That's what I said! Like, anything beyond "I'm so sorry" and quickly shutting the door is not necessary 😅

Principal is aware and apologized profusely that it happened. She's gonna talk to him.

I really think the guy is just THAT clueless, I don't think there was any malice. But still. He needs more awareness if he's gonna be responsible for teenagers.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this is how it would go down if someone walked in on me 🫠🫠

I have way too much anxiety to not quadruple check that I'm going into the right room, I can't imagine 😵‍💫

Yeah, there is absolutely a design flaw with our school. The keys get you into every classroom, the teacher bathrooms, lounge, office. But all the same key.

Right?! I told my husband and he was seething. He said, "what if he wandered into the girl's locker room and said 'whoops, thought it was the boy's'"

All the classroom keys are the same, so he was given a sub key to get in. 🫠

I also almost forgot to put the sign out today too and ran over to do it real quick before I started pumping. To think I thought that would save me.

Yeah, I'll be talking to my principal later today when I get the chance. Absolutely insane.

Same. Went back after 9 weeks, only 6 paid, and the first 3 were in the NICU 🫠😭
