[quote=Anonymous]I got my period at age 11 and didn’t even tell my mom let alone my dad. A few years later my mom asked if I’d gotten it yet and I said I had had it for years and she was surprised. Then she bought me some supplies (I had been using my own babysitting $$ to buy supplies before that and walking over to Walgreens to buy them.) after that day, my mom and I have never ever discussed my period again and never discussed w my dad or my brothers. In my family now, I will talk about it w both my kids (son and daughter) and my husband openly because there should be no shame about it. I’ve told my kids about it since they were little toddlers coming into public bathrooms with me or looking through bathroom cabinets and asking what tampons are. When my daughter gets her period, I hope she feels comfortable enough to talk about it with us but I’ll let her lead the way on that. I hate how in my family of origin it was treated as gross or weird and never discussed.[/quote]
