I have never heard of an AF party till this thread. It was so tabo in my family. Something never to be spoken so much to the fact that I didn't tell my mother for almost 2years when she accussed me of been late to develop (pads came from my sister and my friends mother whom if she knew my mother didn't know would have called and told her. She assumed she was buying me a few with wings as my mother bought the cheapo's) I would be devastated if my daughter didn't feel she could tell me. I was so upset I got mine so I don't want my daughter's to feel like that.

Lulu thinking back on my own experience as you can see there was a huge communication problem between my own mother (she was raised my nun's after been taken from her parents at 5yrs so I don't blame her from having no concept of how to prepare us) but I certainly can't follow in her footsteps so to speak or even ask her for any advise. She would still tell me its not something to be spoken about. I asked my daughter a few little questions yesterday to clarify her knowledge (I asked her if she remembered what a period was and why) she knew what it was, when she could expect it, what to do etc but didn't know why women get it. I very briefly explained about been able to have babies in which she got excited about but until I meantioned babies she was covering her eyes and said she doesn't want to talk about it. I think she knows more then she lets on.
