This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Today, my daughter got her first period. Nobody was home but my husband. He didn't know what to do, except give her a sponge to put in her underwear. FML

To be fair, that is not entirely wrong, considering a tampon works like a sponge anyway. I say A for effort.

Nice parenting... you'd think he would have done a quick Google at some point before she hit puberty.

Did you talk to her about her menstrual cycle?

At least he tried, hadn't you ever spoken to your daughter about what to do when you get your period?

he is married, has a daughter, I am pretty sure he should have some clue about periods and pads. If not educate him. feel sorry for your daughter though this will make for a great story 1 day

There are quite a few people on here afflicted with a tragic disease: Marrying A Moronitis. I'm sorry to tell you that you have a case of it, OP. On the other hand, himbos are quite popular these days, so you're definitely hip and with it...

He’s a dad. He improvised. What the hell did you expect him to do?

Surely there was a box of pads in the bathroom? Why didn’t he and the wife discuss this exact scenario? So many questions, but a sponge was never the answer.
