How does a 10 year old girl not already know about periods? It's not outside the realm of possibility she could have started menstruating by that age right?

AITA for saying "having the acts of service love language doesnt excuse you for being loving lazy"? quote:My husband loves having things done for him without him asking. Whether it be me taking the dog out for him, going to the store so he doesnt have to and even all the way down to me just doing things for him in general. Our marriage therapist says it's due to him having the "acts of service" love language. I have frustrations revolving around this. Sorry honey, the therapist says it's cool for me to sit around like a dumb lazy baby all the time. Anyways, grab me a coke

Not common, but not so far out of the ordinary that it should come as a shock to the parent or child. Which is to say that yeah, somebody should have talked to her about this by now.

My mum started hers at 10 years old back in 1967 when it was very unusual, and nobody would explain it clearly and she thought she was dying for like two months. So I learned about it very early, so early I don't recall the conversation. These days it's even more important because it's happening earlier and earlier.

When I was in elementary school, we had a basic health class for the 5th-graders that talked about periods and puberty stuff. That’s now banned in a lot of places because of psycho parents and conservatives, so a lot of kids aren’t going to have a reliable source of info. That girl’s mom seems like the type to police her interactions hard, so getting info from friends or the internet might not be easy either.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Conservative social media users also appropriated phrases from the anti-racist policing movement in support of Hinnant.[1] Hinnant's mother posted to Facebook stating that Hinnant's death had nothing to do with race. She also specifically requested that people stop comparing her son's death to the murder of George Floyd.[2] " Can't imagine how amazingly lovely it must be to lose your child in an act of violence then see a bunch of people try and spin it like that.

I live in a city not too far from where that happened, and holy poo poo did that tragedy make it clear who the worst people left on my social media were. They'd actually been keeping their mouths shut about BLM, but then they started posting about how His Life Mattered. It was like they knew that more direct posts would make it clear how racist they were, but they thought they could use this event to let it all out. I replied to all their poo poo, linking to the large amounts of news coverage that Fox News told them didn't exist and explaining how that case was really loving different from all the ones where the authorities were protecting the killers. Eventually all three of them blocked me, but I got some support from their other FB friends first, so I'm hoping that, if nothing else, some of the other people who knew them saw those masks slip.

AITA for how I reacted when my husband threw away our daughter's kitchen tools that I bought her?quote:My daughter Liz [15] loves cooking, She began discovering new meals after she became vegan (she was a very picky eater in the past). I encourage her to cook her own food but my husband hates it although she still sits at the table with us, but he thinks that her having different food on the table is "disrespectful" to the family and she should just be eating what we eat. I thought that was ridiculous and asked him to just let her be. He got more agitated and said that Liz wasn't allowed to use any tool in our kitchen if she decides to cook for herself since he paid for everything the kitchen has. I fought back on his decision but he stood firm. I decided to just go out and buy her all the tools she needed to make her meals. She buys her own groceries so I don't have to worry about that.

The answer is "Easily, when their parents suck enough at that stuff."

I think I saw at least one thousand pads absorb blue liquid via television commercial before I hit double digits. Obviously the problem is that kids aren't watching enough TV these days. At least, not enough commercials. Hell, they even use red liquid now to get the point across. It felt like every other commercial back in the day was about periods or a diaper commercial with bare baby asses. At least than trend died out.

I think if we can't tell kids about sex and consent and periods (which is loving basic biology and should be taught in a health or science course, IT ISN'T ANYTHING loving SPECIAL), we should just show the film Osama and let them figure poo poo out themselves. Wait how did they figure out she's a girl when oooooooo.

It's kind of charming and nice that one of the latest big cartoon movie releases is a coming of age story that's mostly about a girl getting her period. It's nice to know that a girl's period can be brought up in age-appropriate media and not a plot point in, say, a horror movie (Carrie, IT Chapter 1). e: Ginger Snaps also Sisal Two-Step fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Apr 16, 2022 |

It always baffles me how kids don’t just absorb this stuff from living in a house with a woman and being curious before their old enough to feel embarrassed asking questions about mom’s pads. It seems like it would require a lot of effort to hide it from them but I guess some parents are really committed to it.

Judging from some of these stories, moms wrap their pads in fifty layers of toilet paper, put the parcel at the very bottom of the rubbish bin, then immure that inside a wall of a tower built on an asteroid whose orbit has been directed to plunge into the sun. And if you don't do that, you're a disgusting humiliation masquerading in women's skin.

Absurd Alhazred posted:AITA for telling my pregnant wife being pregnant isn’t as bad as having cancer Definitely NTA. Cancer loving sucks, and having the missus go through treatment twice with all the surgeries, chemo, radiation, reconstructive surgery, physical therapy, mental therapy and everything else, No. The worst pregnancy symptoms aren’t anywhere close to cancer and OP has every right to claim that title. Cancer has few upsides except that you automatically win most story-topping contests. My favorite personal experience was when I was complaining to my sister about feeling helpless in the face of my wife’s suffering and she responded, “I know how you mean.

AITA For proposing on a meaningful day for my fiance?quote:I (42M) have been with my fiancé for 5 years (24F). She used to work at a restaurant I went to frequently, and I used to only go just to see her and would often go alone. It’s a very cute story because I had a schoolboy crush on her and pulled all the old tricks to get her to go out with me. We started to date and I proposed to her recently on her fathers death anniversary, which I thought would be meaningful and take the bad memories out of that date for her. I also knew that during that day she is extra sentimental and emotional, so she is more likely to say yes and we would have a beautiful moment together honouring her late fathers memory.
