[quote=Anonymous]I’m not horrified like some posters and I think it sounds nice. I think it depends on your kid’s personality and you know best how she’d respond. I also think age is a big factor. A 10 year old getting her first period is going to have different feelings, none of which are celebratory, because she’s still kind of a little kid and it’s scary and weird and embarrassing and it’s likely she’s the first of her friends. The idea of womanhood isn’t even on her radar. A 14 year old might (might!) be more excited about growing up, catching up to her friends, and be more familiar with the whole idea so it’s less awkward and scary. I can see some mom-daughter celebration or a gift being more appropriate there.

Either way, dads should never ever be involved in any way ever. My close friend told me when she got her period she told her mom and then they got in the car to visit her dad at his accounting office so that she could give him the big news and then the whole family went to dinner to celebrate. She didn’t think it was weird. I still can’t believe it. [/quote]
