Living with one bathroom and three teenagers can be challenging, especially when managing periods.
One reader shared that her daughter just started her period, and her two teenage sons, aged 14 and 16, are grossed out by it. The situation worsened when her husband sided with the boys, asking their daughter to hide her period products to avoid making them uncomfortable.
The sons have even started avoiding their sister during her period, refusing to sit near her for fear of stains, leaving the daughter upset.
To ease tensions, it’s essential to educate the boys about menstruation, involve the husband in supporting their daughter, and reassure her that periods are a normal part of life.
Normalizing period conversations within the family can help foster understanding and acceptance, making everyone feel more comfortable.
