[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What in the world would a man know about menstruation, even if he is her father?! Maybe an aunt or older cousin, or a godmother could be offered as someone else for a preteen to confide in. But a man? No. [/quote]

He should certainly understand the female reproductive system.[/quote]

So the period gift thing is weird for me because I haven’t really been raised in that culture.

But our household culture is that my teen DD can ask her Dad to buy period supplies, ask him for ibuprofen, and generally talk to him about her period if she so chooses. A man needs to know about menstruation because it is something that affects half of the world’s population and he has to be ready to talk about it if he has a teen daughter.  My DD usually comes to me with any needs but she knows she can go to her dad because he told her so and because he occasionally buys supplies for both of us if I ask. He hands her the pads when he comes home from the store. Hopefully my kid will grow up knowing she has two functional parents for everything. [/quote]
