A woman’s daughter just started her period, and her two teenage sons are grossed out by it. What’s worse, her husband is siding with the boys, which is making both our reader and her daughter upset.
Here’s her story
Our daughter just started her period. We also have two teenage sons, one is 14 and the other is 16. We have one bathroom, and she occasionally leaves her period products there.
Once, our sons saw a used pad in the trash can. They were sh:ocked and said it was “disgusting.” I explained to them that periods are normal, but my husband stepped in and asked our daughter to hide everything she uses and disposes of during her periods.
He says it makes the boys uncomfortable. Our sons have even started avoiding her when she’s on her period, which upsets both me and her. The last straw was when they refused to sit on the same couch with her because they thought they’d get stained.
What should I do?
