Today, my mother and I went to a meeting at my school about a camping trip the students in my grade will be going on. When the time to ask questions came, my mother raised her hand and loudly asked, "What if my child is on their period during the trip?" FML

That reminds me of my dad... He always grabs "feminine products" in the grocery store and yells loudly to my sisters "Do you need any more of these?!" just to embarrass them.

Once I was on my period at camp, the whole week, it stopped on the last day! It wasn't the best timing, but I still had fun! I hope you have fun OP!

Why would she say "their period?" It obviously has to be "her period." This annoys me.

I read that and cringed. I hate bad grammar...

It's not really bad grammar. It's an older style (archaic) form where "their" is a generic genderless pronoun.

#69-- Isn't it the other way around? I thought that the use of "they" as a singular gender-neutral pronoun was a recent convention...

It's a newer convention (and still incorrect) to use they/their as gender neutral. Before, "he/his/him was the gender neutral pronoun. In either case, this isn't a gender neutral subject, which is my point.

Yes, it's a possessive pronoun, meaning "to belong to two or more people." (Lately used incorrectly to mean "belonging to a person of unknown gender" because the the only gender neutral singular possessive pronoun is "its", and people don't like using "it" to refer to other people.)

Be glad you dont wet the bed OP. I was at a meeting once with my kids about a class trip and a mom asked the question about her son's bedwetting and whether they will make sure he is "protected" at night, this was in front of every other kid that was going.

It always amazes me how when some people become parents, they completely forget what it's like to be the kid.

Sorry OP. I know you felt like crawling under your desk, out the door, running away & relocating multiple states away all in 0.001 seconds! Ugh!

Okay, that's really embarrassing, but your mom was at least looking out for you.

And she used that exact phrase? I'd have been more embarrassed at the misuse of grammar.
