I have one son and I had another,but gave him for open-adoption (family friends)about 7 years ago.I started this job 2 years ago.Been working in the same community where I had my son.
But,in my job-I have never ever told any of my co-workers.I work with all females.And females can be very catty and backstabbing.I just work with them.So,no one knows to my knowledge.Or at least I think they might not know.Unless others mentioned to them.
Now I work with someone that saw me pregnant 7 years ago.But she said,"Oh don't you have two kids?" I said,"No" I have one."
I feel like such a liar.!And I am not that type of person.I just don't lie.

But for some reason,I don't feel comfortable with telling or airing my personal life to them.Why?So they can go in their little corners and gossip about it?
It's a personal thing to me.I had told people in the past,and people can be so downright hurtful or judgmental ,about the situation.They don't know me or my situation or what I was going through in my life at that time.
Please,mature answers only.Thank You.I was adopted myself.I am in contact with my birth family.I am also involved in my son's life.Thanks to the open- adoption!
So I don't want to discuss this with my coworkers.And the two boys are from the same Dad.
Ughhhh!!! I feel like I'm living a lie.Or do I need to tell people,"Hey,guess what?" "I have a secret to share".
What do I do??????
