If you cannot handle a conversation about womanly topics...I suggest you click here!
Let's talk about...
What is it about men and the topic of menstruation? You would think by the time a man is in his late '40s' and witnessed the birth of two children, that he would be a little bit more educated about a woman's "time of the month".
If I must be frank with you...today I received my monthly gift from Mother Nature....
It has now been about twenty-three years since I first got my period, which after doing the math (12 x 23 =) is 276 menstrual cycles...and I probably have another twenty years left...(12 x 20 = 240)!!!
Tonight I made a comment to my husband telling him I got my period...
"Ugh, I got my period today."
"Didn't you just have that?"
"YES...I did just have "that". Every twenty-five days I have "that" and I will have "that" every month for the next twenty years!"
I wonder what men would do if their nose bled every month. How would they be in the days before the bleeding started, when they knew it was coming, but they didn't know exactly when it would actually start. How would they be if they had nasal cramps before and during this monthly nose bleed. Imagine if they had a golf-outing planned, and then realized their monthly nose bleed was due at the same time.
I have to give my husband credit, as he really is not that freaked out by talk of menstruation...and he would be more than happy to go to the store to buy me a box of tampons. However, I doubt he would be able to answer the million dollar question when asked what brand of tampons I use.

I know a girl at primary school. A girl who used to suffer with nose bleeding. She was leaving school earlier at least once every week because of it. You just made me think of her and imagine the kind of hell she would be living now if she did not get her surgery that stopped the nose bleeding. Double hell.
This is the best post ever. Seriously.
My husband will not touch a box of tampons. Like he's afraid one will jump out and bite him. It's ridiculous.
LMAO!!!! Great videos...a wonderful way to start my Friday! Thanks...don't you wish we could just send the "woman signal" to "who-ever" to indicate that we're done bearing children now so let's shut this motnhly gift giving thing down??? :)
Haha! Maybe he said that because he didn't know what else to say??!! Or maybe he thought your hidden message was that you wouldn't be up for it tonight ...
Have a great weekend - as we downunder here in OZ always strive to do!!
Haha, I think every guy says this. My husband literally said the same thing! Too funny. Have a great start to the weekend, take some time for yourself and thanks so much for joining in the blog hop!! Glad you did :)
Men wouldn't be able to handel it. I have to say the only reason I am glad I had a hystorectomy. Though More babies were wanted. I haven't missed that gift for five years
Love the nosebleed analogy. I always said that if men got periods, there'd be a cure for PMS.
It's not even 8am here on a Saturday morning, still on my 1st cup of coffee, and I have laughed out loud at least 3 times while reading this post! I hope this is a sign of how the rest of my day will go (sans period, of course!). Found you from the Storytellers Hop, and so glad I did. Still smiling!
I dated a guy once who refused to go to the store for me to get tampons and Ibuprofen while I was writhing in pain on the bed. We didn't last long after that.
Once, just ONCE, I think every man should experience what we go through every freaking month. We are NOT exaggerating when we say it sucks.
That last commercial is PERFECT! I love the last lady! I was in a Walgreens one time and a man was standing there just staring at the special lady time section and holding a coupon looking bewildered. I felt so bad for him. I just walked up to him and said "Do you need help?" He was like "Yes. Thank you so much!" I then proceeded to help him pick out the maxi pads of his wife's dreams. I wonder if he told her he got help. He thanked me many times as he was leaving.
I envy you making it to 12. Not fair!
I haven't asked my bf to get tampons for me .. though I don't know that I ever would.. as I'm super nervous that he wouldn't get the right ones and then I'd have to return them cuz tampons are one of those things where once you find the one you like... you tend to stick with it.
