TIFU by leaving my pregnancy test on my bathroom counter

For background, I took a pregnancy test because I’ve been feeling funny and it was positive. I already have a 12 year old daughter and 8 year old son so this is going to be my third kid.

Since I work from home, I was home alone all day with my husband going to work and my kids going to school. During a morning work meeting, I felt like throwing up and just nauseous in general. This has been going on for a few days now so I took a few tests and I learned I’m pregnant. I was going to tell my husband as soon as he got home but my kids come home before him so I planned to keep it a secret from them until I’m ready to tell them.

A few hours after I took the test, my son came home then my daughter did an hour later. She went to my bathroom to borrow my moisturizer and she found my pregnancy test right on the counter. She ran downstairs holding the test and quickly asking me if it’s true. My son overheard the whole thing and wanted my answer so bad. I told them it was true and my daughter started looking very stressed. She told me it was because she didn’t want to look after a baby. I really get her because I had a sibling 13 years younger than me that me and my siblings spent most of our time looking after.

I hugged both of them and told them it was going to me okay. I really didn’t want my kids to find out before my husband came home, but it happened anyway.

TL;DR: My kids found out I’m pregnant from me leaving my test on the counter and they’re worried about it now. Me and my husband are happy about this ourselves and have assured our kids that it’ll be alright

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
