Sometimes, what seems like a drama-free topic ends up leaving certain people feeling slighted and in a foul mood.

Also, some people don’t want honesty. They want the sugar-coated version.

The person in this story is a combination of both. Check out how this pregnancy conversation went awry.

AITA for telling my co-worker that I didn’t enjoy my pregnancy?

At a lunch with my coworkers, the topic of ‘the magic of pregnancy/childbirth’ came  up.

Everyone was sharing sweet moments from their pregnancy. I enthusiastically joined in but didn’t share any of my own.

Then OP gets put on the spot.

I think Linda noticed because she specifically turned to me and said:

Linda: “You had twins, didn’t you? That must have been a wonderful experience.”

The truth is I hated every moment of being pregnant.

I told her I had horrific vivid nightmares, severe morning sickness, debilitating migraines and a metallic taste in my mouth.

Then I told her about everything that went wrong with the birth.

I also said that due to some of the complications, I ended up being kept in hospital for a while, so I missed the first few days with my girls.

It turned out that she had not understood the assignment.

After the chat, Linda started getting short with me, so I asked her privately what was going on.

She snapped and told me what I said was ‘insensitive’ and ‘undermined’ their experiences and told me I was an ******* for it.

Since then, she’s sort of cooled off, and is less hostile (or at least less openly hostile), but last week she invited all the girls in the team to a ladies night. Everyone but me.

Here’s what people are saying.

Actually, if there is a office-based sequel to Mean Girls, this would be a great plotline.

Who knows. Whatever her reason, OP doesn’t have to be okay with it. They are coworkers.

Very true. Some people can’t handle the truth.

Some moms are so competitive and constantly seek validation. I find it sad.

Good insight. Honesty can be helpful.

Why don’t you become a surrogate if you loved it so much, Linda?
