so what did your mom say.. Options

[lolthissiteisfun...]

What did your mom say when you told her you got your first period? tehe, mine was awkward

[jordanriane]

I never told my mom when I first got my period. I was a bit embarressed and wanted to keep it to myself. I didn't know what I was doing though, so I don't believe I wore pads or anything. I got the summer before fifth grade, before they even teach you anything about puberty and periods. It sucked since I was absolutely clueless.

But I ended up telling my cousin, who was a few years older, when I spent the night over at our grandparent's house.. Which is when my mom found out.

Needless to say, she opened up some health program on the computer and started telling me about puberty, my period, and sex. The worst part was that she wanted my dad to talk to me about it too, but that didn't go by well ;)

[toodlepops.]

I cried. LoL.
My mum just went, there there.

[frenchaddict88]

i was crying my eyes out! l ol and she's like "it's okay, you should be happy! You can give birth now! it's normal" lol...i remember it too well.

[lolthissiteisfun...]

lol i put off telling her until like that evening ( got in in the morning) and was all hey mom, I got my period and I don't wanna talk about it, but if you could buy me some pads that'd be great. it was funny. i still just like, don't ever discuss it. that was a funny day

[gigiopolis]

Haha. I told my mom I got my period, and she kinda just froze. Then she got up and started teaching me all this crap about it.

I remember I was really freaked out. I cried at school.

[the_crox]

She smiled and asked if i knew how to put a pad.... tsh.

[lolthissiteisfun...]

lol my mom didn't teach me anything, thank god. i guess she would have, had i asked though. the only thing that i worry is that i'm sure she's secretly told half the world.

[WhiteLotus*]

Me: MOM! I got my period!
Mom: NU-UH! NO WAY! YOU'TE f**king LYING TO ME
Me: Uhm, yeah. I did.
::hands me a tampon::

[dani41790]

haha thats funny ^. well umm i realized i got it right when i woke up so i called my mom since she leaves before i wake up and i told her:
me: mom i got my period
mom: oh wow are u sure its your period?
me: O_o yes mom im sure
mom: k put on a pad then

then when i got back from school:

mom: im so happy for you
me: why
mom: because now you're a woman and can have babies
me: yay O_o [sarcasm]

[KissMe2408]

She was like, "congratulations!" and i'm like, "congratulations? congratulations?? are you crazy?"

[perfectxflaw23]

I got mine the last day of our vacation. I couldn't walk the cramps were so bad. I didn't really need to tell her, she just understood. She let me lay on the couch while they packed everything, so I felt bad. But she said it was all fine, she had really bad cramps her first time too. It really wasn't awkward.

[Nicolatofu]

my mom just took me to the store and got me some pads.. I'm glad she didn't make a big deal about it!

[misoshiru]

i dont remember. oh..i was at my aunt's when i had my period.

[bravodancer04]

I got to stay home from school the next day

[Teesa]

haha, I was such a baby about it because I started crying..but my mom was cool about it and gave me pads obviously.

[iwalkbackwards]

I was at my grandmas when I got my first period...and I had to call my mom and tell her. She freaked out and kept asking if I was okay and if I wanted her to come get me. She was really worried..I don't know why. But she was. She ended up coming to showing up at my grandmas about an hour after I called.

[Looow]

my mom just said
"oh finally. good for you. there are pads in the bathroom. you know how right?"
haha

[shortiiex]

[parallel]

My mom said, "OMG REALLY?!"...yup...I guess it's normal..

[UrF4vL!pGl0Z...]

When I got my first period I was sleeping. when I woke up I just remember changing my underwear like 3 times that day. I had no idea what was going on. and it didnt look like blood. My mom just gave me pads and sent me on my way "read the instructions" was her advice

[danishcookiez]

I started to cry, because I was really confused and thought she'd get mad. My mom laughed, and saw "Aww"

[KELLYYY]

"Omg. Did you get a pad? Make sure you bring extra pads to school. Make sure you always change your pad and underwear. Is there a lot of blood? When did you get it? When did your period start? make sure you wear dark pants to school when your period comes, and blah blah blah." -cough-

[iheartsimba]

i was riding my bike down to swimteam practice, then i get there with a great suprise, and my sofies covered in blood i knew i couldn't swim...so i just called my mom. i went home, she gave me a box of tampons, and that was the end of it.


she didn't even say congradulations, and she told my dad!

[x-klutzibabi-x]

I told my sister...then my sister told everyone else that was in the apartment (my mom and brother) while I was in the bathroom reading the instructions on a package of pads. Came back out and went along like nothing happened...haha my sister was crying out of joy. Later that week, when me and my mom were on the way to the store. And she said "so....you got your period, huh?" Then I said "yeah". And that was the end of it.

[greedybunny92]

[kyuubi319]

mom: let me see. open the bathroom door!!!!
me: (opens door) OMG mom i got it
mom: it?
me: im a lady. look
mom: OoOOo lala let me explain more........................

[angel-roh]

I didn't know I had my first period because I was a tombody and didn't care what was behind me. My mom was like "SUSAN! there's blood in your pants!" then we go inside the bathroom together and told me that I'm having my period. I had no clue what she was talking about. First, I thought it was a serious thing because when I look at my bloody underwear, I was so shocked. I couldn't really hear what she said because I was so scared. I was like half blanked. My mom told me to do this and that...because I didn't know what it was haha. I wasn't embarrassed either. She was just so happy that I'm a lady now... hm something like that haha

[lolthissiteisfun...]

lol yeah, i just kind of walked away after I told her and haven't brought it up since, thank god

[whywasisostupid]

she just shruged and was like

bleh

[lilliannnn]

me: i got my period today
mom: oh, really?
me: yeah
mom: that's nice

she didn't like give me pads or anything or like explain it. haha

[murderwaltz]

haha. my mum wasn't there when i got my first period. i called her to tell her about it after but the only one who was around was my uncle. so i had to ask him for help because i didnt have a pad or anything. i wasn't really freaking out 'cause i knew i'd get it some day. it was weird when he was explaining everything to me. i just asked for a pad 'cause i didn't know where they were and he got into this whole discussion on how i should put it on. it was awkward, he didn't do anything bad though but he was the first to know. i called my mum later and told her and she just said "oh that's nice, sweetie." hmm, yeah..

[ur1 loved by mee]

I didn't tell my mom I was at my Grandma's house, and it was the summer before my fifth grade year. I had the stuff, so I didn't tell anyone for like 4 months, until one day it got all over my favorite pajamas, so I had to tell my mom because I didn't know how to get it out. I was freaking out

[*xcaitlinx*]

i didnt really no it was my period. one day i was in the bathroom, and i was lyk "uuhhhh...mom....blood is coming out ! OMG ! "

and my mom laughed and was gave me this speech about how im growing up and blah blah. then she gave me a pad.

[smilePiNAYstyle]

i wasn't even sure if i had it so i told my sister and she just laughed and thought i was just joking. then - she told everyone in my house. and i was just nervous so i kept changing my pad like every ten minutes. and like the last day my mom found out bcos she said all of her pads were gone.

[b0st0ngrl]

My mom was like "I guess it's starting now!" and I'm thinking "Oh joy..." <--sarcastically

[ch33sylici0us]

my mom just said
"oh finally. good for you. there are pads in the bathroom. you know how right?"
haha

[annacgb]

She was like, "congratulations!" and i'm like, "congratulations? congratulations?? are you crazy?"

Haha.. Same here.. I was like " "
"I'm NoOT a little girl anymore , and you are happy?!?!"

[tinababy143]

haha..well *sorry for going into detail* but i was going to the bathroom and i wiped and there was a little blood on the toilet paper, so i flushed, then went to my mom and was like "i think i started my period" and she was like "why would you think that??" and i said "cos i wiped and i saw blood" and she was like "oh..okay.." then i walked out..and that was that

[yellowgurl]
