MENARCHE

What's on your mind?

Wow! Sucked to be you that weekend. ;) Actually, sometimes it's easier for girls to talk to someone other than their parent.

I swear to God, every child of the female persuasion in our neighborhood had her first period on one of my camping trips - usually 25 miles from a paved road, 20 miles further to a store that sold things that girls needs (anyone heard of Clints Well, its south of Happy Jack, north of Strawberry - they carry the stuff if it happens to you). For a while I considered getting a signed document from the parents that they had already explained to their darling daughter what it was all about. Nothing like 6-8 teens sitting around on a tailgate of a 4-runner up around 9000 feet, being told stuff by a guy that shouldnt have had to. I still remember campsites up in the az wilderness by which kid it happened there to.

Actually they paced it out, it was like one girl per trip. After the 3rd trip, I had my daughter - 13 or so at the time, carry a bunch of extra stuff with her.

I never thought I'd chime in on a menarche thread but doesn't a group of post-pubescent girls that spends enough time together (like on a TB team) eventually "synch up" on their cycles so they all have it at the same time? DW and ex-girl friends have told me of this phenomenon of pheromones from living with other girls but I've wondered if it really happens or whether it was just coincidence that they had theirs at the same time as their roommates.
