I felt uncomfertable talking about it with my mom. (probibly cuase she is really old for a mom!!) so what i said is "mom i got my period, i dont want to talk about it so i just need some pads" and now the only thing i tell her about it is when i need more pads. She is perfectly fine about it. if your having trouble with it like i did, just spit it out to her. And if i had a older sister i would feel beter to talk to her first and she could help me. Do what you feel is best,
TALK WITH UR MOM, LOL...TELL HER EXACTLY THAT. TELL HER U NEED PADS, SHE WONT TREAT U ANY DIFFERENTLY, AND SHELL UDNERSTAND ;-)
You should tell your Mum, but if you're more comfortable with telling your sister first, I suggest you do that. Maybe tell her, and then you can tell your Mum together.
Just say to her "Mum, I got my first period *whenever*"
ask your sister for some advice. if your sister is older than you and already has her period, she will most likely remember her first time. maybe she can tell you how she told your mom. im sure your sister will help you, just ask her. good luck :]
Honey just go ask you mom for what you need. She knows where you are coming from, we were at the same point you are in a few years ago wondering how to ask our moms. Don't be embarrassed, every young girl goes through this.
it just depends if your more comfortable with talking with your sister or your mom. How much older is your sister? (I'm just guessing she is older) If you more comfortable with your mom when your alone just tell her and I mean its a natural function of every womens body so don't feel bad about it. Just tell her trust me s he will understand
if you need pads and you are too afaid to ask or whatever just put it on the grocery list, or ask from some money and buy them yourself?
well it depends on how old u sis is u dont want her to tell u mom and u mom getting mad about not telling her so just ask her like "mom i just started my period and i need some pads." "please" thats how i would do it
I was never comfortable talking about that stuff with my mom but when i got my period i just told my mom and she was totally cool about it. your mom has been through this all before so she knows how it feels. you should just talk to her about it.she wil find out someday anyways so why not tell her now??
good luck!!
if you feel more comfortable talking to your sister about it then you should talk to her about it but you should still tell your mom because she will soon find out for herself anyways.
good luck :D
and its no big deal.
your mom goes through it too so dont worry
the best way to do it is just be streight forward about it....Your mom should have talked to you long before now, but sometimes for moms it is hard to accept that their daughter are growing up....Just ask her to take you to the store...when you get there grab your pads and say ok that is all i needed!...hopefully that will prompt her into having the talk with you!
When i first started my period i found it totally awkward...but i had to ask her to buy me pads so i had to talk to her. You might find it awkward but she wont so it wont be bad. It will get easier quickly.
I think you should just come straight out and tell either family member with out making a scene. Be aware that ur sister may tell your mom about u getting ur period. Its okay to be a little uncomfortable bc i didn't want to tell my mom wen i got my period. In the end it all worked out. I'm the oldest in my family so i didn't have much of a choice on who to tell.
You should do what you are comfortable doing. Please know, that your mother being a woman will understand. If your sister is older, you can ask her to best approach your mother about your feminine needs.
hi hun,
talk to ur sis first cuz it will be eazer for you.
or u could write a note on the grocery list.
either way you need to get pads some how.
i hope that helped you
your period should be the easiest thing to talk to your mom about, specially since every girl goes through it. its not easy to be open with you period at first but it gets easier. i for one dont care who knows im on my period
Tell your mom you would like some money for pads and that you know she is your mom and thank you for caring but that you do not want to talk about things at the moment.
Suggest she writes you a letter with what she wants to say to you because you understand she has emotions about her girl growing up but that you really feel akward, you feel you do not want to sit with her and have 'the talk' that both of you know is going to come soon.
Say it like this. Word for word. It will show her that you consider her feelings (very very very important here) , it shows her how you feel (very important) and you don't just shut her out. It shows her you are mature enough to realise this is a major milestone in your life (and hers!!!) and that you want to talk about it later (much later) when you feel better, more relaxed and less akward.
The more you shut your mom out, the more she will annoy you by hovering and keeping on about things.
She deserves some sort of information to guide and reassure her and YOU have to be clear and give this info to her in a normal tone, a friendly voice and a determined way (you are giving her info but you are serious here that you do NOT want to go into any discussion with her. Period).
No pun intended.
Good luck!
PS please respect her.
I am a mom myself and it is good if girls are clear to their mom.
Okay, i'm in the same shoes as you!!!
Just tell her like this "Mom...hey I got that thing that you get once a month today" and she's going to be all like "ahh omg im so happy" blah blah (how is it happy? i don't know!) but just go straight forward...i never tell my mom ANYTHING and i think she was glad that i told her. Good luck!
I really can't tell you how to talk to your mother.If you feel comfortable talking to your sis then do so.My mom and I don;t get along either.If she knows that you have started your period she should know that you need pads.Ask her for some money if she ask what for tell her ladies stuff.When I got my period my mom gave me some pads and said don't sit beside any guys.That was it for the talk.
Don't be embarrassed.
I have a child (30) and my Mom has been dead for 15 years and we still haven't had "the talk."
just tell her. say 'hey mom i need tampons and pads, ok?'. thats what happened with me and my mom b/ci told her i was on my period and she said ok and got pads. that was it. hopefully it will be that painless for you.
I totally understand what you mean...I think a lot of girls feel like that. Well, if you can't talk to your mom straight off, definitely go to your sister (if she's older than you or very close to your age). She can give you advice and help you out. If you have a school guidance counselor or (if you go to a church/temple/synagogue) and have a female youth leader you trust, you could talk to her as well.
