Certainly think it's a good idea!

I did not have a menarche party but i would like to have one for my child. I think it's important to pass on a little wisdom about periods and what better way to bond with a child. Now i think it should be private. Not a huge celebration but maybe a small dinner out. where you can talk.

I mean i didn't say a word to my mother when i got mine because my sister had gotten her's while we were at an amusement park...my mother had to ask her boyfriend for a quarter and he wouldn't hand it over till he knew what it was for so she reluctantly told him and as my sister came out of the bathroom He stuck out his hand to shake hands and congratulate her. My mother and sister were mortified. How embarrassing. I hope i don't embarrass my kids but am still able to pass on the knowledge.

I had no idea how to use a tampon and let me just say there is nothing like being in high school swim class and finding out you've put the tampon in the wrong spot while it inflates with pool water! I don't wish that on anyone least of all a daughter!
