What would I do when my daughter gets her period…
It’s just a few years away and I still totally don’t know what to do.
Olivia, my daughter, is very shy. She doesn’t talk much–she does to me, but not to her father–, she is quiet. I’m quite the contrary.
When I was her age, I talked a lot. So, I think that’s why it was easier for my Mum to talk about ‘getting period’ with me. When I had it, I was on my way home from school. I felt something wet, there. So, I walked faster, I even ran.
I went straight to the bathroom. Mom was so calm. She seemed to know that ‘it’ finally came.
She told me everything about it. What I should do and all the ‘risks’ of being a woman. We went shopping that day. It was unusual, because normally we shop on weekends. She said, it was a special day for us to celebrate.
Well, that’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Let’s compare it with my friend’s experience. It was awful. The mother ran to tell her father and she got so embarrassed, she hated being a woman.
What did you do when your daughter had it? Would you mind sharing?
