[QUOTE="Steely, post: 161500, member: 3301"] It sounds like possibly some attention was needed, and maybe some mommy bonding time, and she thought this was a perfect avenue for both. She also may have been really, really anxious - especially with only dad in the house. I remember not wanting my dad to have anything to do with me starting my period. I did the opposite, and hid it from my dad, and my sister his it from everyone. In retrospect, my sister just reversed what Aly did. I think starting your period can be traumatic for girls, and upsetting - and she is probably just trying to cope the best way she knows how with the pending concept of this new era in her life. I am so glad that you are not too upset about this, because I think it is more complicated than just lying. If she really is needing attention, maybe you can choose another thing that would forge the mom-daughter bond? Like shopping, or a manicure, or a spa day together? [/QUOTE]
