Having one bathroom and three teenagers can be tricky, especially with p*riods.
Our reader’s daughter just started her p*riod, and her two teenage sons are grossed out by it.
Even worse, her husband is agreeing with the boys, which is upsetting for both our reader and her daughter.
Our daughter just started her p*riod. We also have two teenage sons, one is 14 and the other is 16.
We have one bathroom, and she occasionally leaves her p*riod products there. Once, our sons saw a used pad in the trash can.
They were shocked and said it was “disgusting.” I explained to them that priods are normal, but my husband stepped in and asked our daughter to hide everything she uses and disposes of during her p*riods.
He says it makes the boys uncomfortable. Our sons have even started avoiding her when she’s on her p*riod, 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?
