Mom and Intro to Periods
How would you say your mom did during your early period years? Exceptional job, making you feel comfortable with your period? Or could she have used some work in that department? Will you do things differently if you have a daughter?

Great parents = great experience

I am the only girl, the oldest with then, three younger brothers. My BFF started when she was 11, but didn't say much about it because she was pretty grossed out by it! lol! I started my period on Aug 1st 2001. :) I remember that because it was 9 days before my 13th birthday...
We were planning on going into town the day i started... I woke up with stomach cramps... didn't think much of it, until I went to use the bathroom. I saw red on the TP, and new immediately what had just occurred. I knew that my mom had pads under the sink, so I got one (the big overnighters! Ewww!) and put it on. I'm not sure really how I knew, but I just knew how to do all that stuff... Anyhoo, I cleaned up, got dressed and quietly told my mom that I had started... She was "ooohhh my baby is a woman now!" And let me stay home alone while they went into town. Mom wrote me a letter in my notebook that was in the car on the drive into town... telling me how proud she was of me and giving me some advice. My dad was really good about it... getting me ice cream or brownies...:) He even would buy me and my mom pads by himself!

My mom was really great about talking about periods and stuff, but about sex... Nada. LOL! I learned all that through Biology books and stuff. I think that when I'm a mom, I'll gradually tell them a little more about things as they grow up, so that they will have just the right amount of information at the right age!
The funny thing is now, my mom and I can talk about our sex lives... wow. :)
