[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my pregnancy under wraps until now - 20 weeks- I don't think I can really hide it anymore- but many of the students were oblivious

I told them yesterday, most seemed shocked and surprised despite my 11 lb gain- a few girls said, "I knew it!"

A young man actually said, "Wait a minute, are you saying you got it in over the weekend?" (!!!!!)

The "tact" of 15 year olds....

What KILLS me though- and why I postponed telling them as long as I thought I possibly could, "That's why you have been so cranky with us."

My students are ill behaved- and when I call them out on it, they accuse me of blowing things out of proportion. I assure you my reaction is appropriate to the behavior - I have been "cranky" with such behavior - as anyone would be- when not pregnant - [b]but now they will blow it off as- "oh she's just hormonal... [/b]we didn't actually do anything wrong." It happened with my first pregnancy-

It is so difficult to work with people who don't have fully developed brains- they are sooo irrational [/quote]

Why wouldn't they say this as because so many women today think their pregnancy gives them the right to rant, rave, scream and then say "I'm so hormonal."  You reap what you sow.[/quote]

You need to step away from the reality TV shows and join the rest of us in the real world. [/quote]
