| Could have used some major work |
| I love my mom, the only thing about her i would change, is how she dealt with periods and sex, everything else I know (looking back) she did for my own good (though hard to see at the time). She used pads, so she thought i should, she refused to buy me tampons, because they weren't comfortable for HER. My first experience with tampons (i bought myself) was awful, the beginner's pack didn't explain it correctly, so I ended up with the cardboard still on, and inside me (ouch). I figured it out about two years later, but until then it was a tramautic experience (lucky for me my periods never were regular.) When i have a daughter, I will do things VERY differently and be more open with her about tampons and pads, etc. |

| nervous male guardian |
| My uncle brought me up on his own, and as compassionate and approachable as he is, this topic apparently made him EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Consequently, a close female friend of the family was recruited to give me "the talk." She just took me out for a girls' day and laid it all out for me while we painted our nails and watched chick flicks. If not for her, his plan his plan would have basically been to leave a book about menstruation in my room and never speak of it. A couple of years ago (I'm 20 now), he told me that it wasn't so much that he was uncomfortable with the overall idea, he just thought that it was a really important topic for me to have the right understanding of, and he was afraid that if he handled it wrong, it would have screwed me up or something. Poor dear. |

| wish it was different |
| i AM now in my late 30's but got my period at age 13. Older then my 2 sisters. I knew what a period was really from my older sisters my mom said it was gift. I tell you its no gift in my eyes. i got it at camp and was so embrassed. I told my councler who helped me I think she was only around 18 or 19 herself. i could not go swimming for she gave me pads not a tampon. my mom looked sad that she wasnt there when it happened but if I ever have a daughter by age 11 I will make sure she will know what to do. |

| My poor Father... |
| My mom didn't get a chance to talk to me about becoming a woman. I guess she figured she had more time but as it turned out she didn't. I was 11 and on a Ski Trip with my Dad, a couple of his friends and their sons. I felt kind of funny so I made a trip to the restroom and sure enough, there it was, my first period. I had no idea what was happening to me and I got up the courage to tell my Dad, (away from all the boys my age of course.) I'll never forget the look on his face when I told him. I mean, I had no idea what it was and was starting to freak out. He gave me some money to go get what I needed out of the machine in the bathroom and promised me that I was going to be ok and everything would be explained to me soon but for now I needed to go take care of my business and be a big girl for him so that the boys wouldn't ask too many questions of me. When we got back to his friend's house I found that my Dad had mentioned something to him and they got me extra supplies from his wife's cupboard and as soon as she got home, she gave me the talk. Soon after that my mother called to check on me and when I told her she sounded really sad and said "Yeah, Steph told me. I'm sorry honey, I thought I still had time to tell you." I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that when I have daughters of my own they don't have to get the talk from some other man's wife for sure. Haha. |

| My Early Period Years. |
| My mom rarely talked about it. She sent me to a class that they were having in school and I learned a lot from my school nurse. I got my first period when I was 11 and of course it wasn't a regular occurence but by the time I was 12 or 13 it became very regular. My mom did show me how to use a pad. I didn't use a tampon until I was 16. I think when I become a mom I will be the one to discuss being a woman with my child first. It's my responsibility to talk to her about those kinds of things. |
