[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad didn't know. He saw blood in the toilet once and thought I was severely ill. If I had a daughter I'd tell her dad. No need to wait for him to discover it in some embarrassing way on his own. [/quote]
It's not a daughter's obligation for her body to be a biology lesson for her father.  A grown man should be able to figure this out on his own.  If he's doing embarrassing things when he sees blood in a toilet in a house with women it's because he's an embarrassment of an adult male.[/quote]

Right. But dads home alone with young daughter and sees blood in the toilet but doesn't know she's started her period... what should he do? If my dad had known I'd been menstruating for a year, maybe he wouldnt have said anything about it. Instead, he had no idea I'd started my period already and questioned me as though I was very ill, which really embarrassed me because then I had to be the one to tell him. The alternative would be to get ahead of the situation and tell your child's FATHER hey, your daughter started her period. So when issues arise, he's aware and prepared. [/quote]

What kind of man who has fathered a daughter couldn’t figure this out? Your dad wasn’t very smart.[/quote]

What's your point? Blood in the toilet is either period blood or something indicative of illness. As a mom if you see blood in the toilet would you ignore it? [/quote]

I’ve been in to many women’s restrooms and seen blood or remnants of blood in the toilet. I know exactly why its there. Don’t you?[/quote]

Actually you don’t know why it’s there[/quote]
