A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I just got my first period. My mother has been dead for years and my stepmother genuinely wishes I was dead, so who am I supposed to tell? FML

Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML

Today, my daughter got her first period. I'm the one shaking and hyperventilating. I'm more nervous for her than I was for myself back when I got my first period. I just now understand my mom while she was pacing through house back and forward when I got my first. FML

Today, my mum, who always wanted more kids than just me, started crying because I'm not pregnant with her first grandchild yet. I'm 16, and this all started because I got my period and I asked to borrow one of her tampons because I'd ran out of my own. FML

Oh, God, your life SUCKS. My dad wouldn't even want to KNOW I started my period. :) He'll just have my mom take care of it. :)

Okay, I don't know about the rest of you girls out there, but my dad is so incredibly ignorant that he didn't even know when I had my first period, let alone buy me a card for it. He probably was just trying to make the best of an awkward situation. Be glad he cares.

i think a lot of people would rather have their dads ignore the fact that they're on their period rather than tell the whole family. god, everyone acts like they have a deprived childhood just because their dads didn't make a big deal about their periods. get over it.

Funny. My dad doesn't even like 4 me 2 walk down the aisle where all the pads/tampons/etc. are. It's something every woman goes thru so fathers plz grow up. Periods suk. Wish I didn't have them

It might be embarrassing, but sweetie, you are not f-d. You are LUCKY. most dads would not be NEARLY as supportive as your dad. I'm 30 (ish) and it's just recently that I can tangentially talk to my dad about "female" things.

It was kind of embarrassing, but try not to feel too bad. I mean, my dad would have freaked out and been all grossed out about talking about it. Which I can understand, but it's kind of nice to have some support lol. Your life isn't over, hun, just take the card and try to stay off the topic xP

Nothin to be embarrassed about, Idc if my family and friends know infact my guy friends know it. I say it like whatever its perfectly natural and everyone goes through stuff like that.(: Don't worry sweetie. It's better cause now you can buy pads/tampons and you won't be akward around them cause they already know about it (;

Caring points for dad. LOL, oh and YDI for being a girl. Now if you were a guy and got your period then FYL. Getting a natural occurrence and your dad trying to have some fun doesn't = FYL.

Yeah the OP should have picked the y chromosome. Smart people do smart choices before they were born. :)

Well... yeah. Lots of women choose to adopt or not have children at all, regardless of their reproductive ability. There is more to being a woman than having a fully functioning uterus and ovaries. And you just said that societies have different views about what makes a woman a woman... so asking if I would feel less of a woman because I was infertile "considering what society thinks makes a woman".... renders your point rather null. .... Though I actually have no idea what you were trying to say, really, as it kind of made no sense in regards to this particular discussion. I was saying it was normal to be embarassed and that in no way makes the OP sexually repressed or ashamed of herself, though. I didn't say it was unimportant nor that it was important, rather the comment I was originally responding to is what declared that for everyone.

I think that's sweet that your Dad cares about you.
