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 By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
