[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 286121, member: 7416"] It is an interesting time.... just want to share a little story. I suppose it was about 12 months ago that daughter 12 showed me she was 'getting hair down there', and I pointed out that was normal, and she'd probably get a little more... 'well, you have rather a bush of it too mum'! she says... 'you'll get hair under your arms too, you know'; she had a little curl or two; She thought she was rather clever, because "R, hasn't got any yet!".... DD23 of course, shaves there! Mostly, that's the way we handle it, just as it comes, and we fill the in the gaps as we go along... like talking about the 'sticky stuff' and what the period is designed for (to take away waste from the body) to be part of the process of making babies when you're grown up , When DD23 was 11 or 12, I did tell her a big lie and say it was only till she was about 18 - she wwas already showing signs of maybe having endometreosis, how could i tell her it would go on for 30 or 40 years! As for the boys, well, I know nothing! but my husband refused to do the talk, so I had to make the best of it... I stumbled through, and I'm still not sure, but now that he's 19, i think we'll have to take it as it comes too. I did buy some lovely Christian books on the subject, so if anyone's interested, I could share that information. Good luck, it can be a little stressful, but there are 'moments' you'll treasure too.
