in india and also here in america theres this thing bout daddies not tlking to their lil girls when they begin their menstrual cycle. isnt it equally a fathers responsibilty toward his daughter to make her feel good for thats she is a woman nd not embarrased from her daddy!! like men always leave women to take care of the girls feminine concerns...why arent men more open about sumthing thats natural....like men go thru twenty eight day cycles tooo...just that they dont menstruate...should fathers care about their grls enuf to ease their passage into womanhood and feel proud of it...
i had to make it there on my own and i was embarrassed so i cried the first time so i swore id make things different when i have a daughter nd make sure my husband is open minded!!!!!!

because most mothers don't raise their sons to be comfortable talking about things like that. And that is definately where it starts. I was very open with my son and he was even comfortable enough to go to the store and buy my tampons and stuff. He was comfortable with that because he said if any of his friends saw him, what were they gonna think, that they were for him? I don't think so. So we as mothers need to break the cycle of being uncomfortable to talk to our sons. Then when they become men and fathers they won't be weirded out by it.

If your talking the actual cycle itself, it's because Father's don't know that much or the details of it to have a talk. If you are looking for a general conversation of this time in life, I can agree and see no reason why a Father couldn't talk with his daughter and help her feel more secure etc.. Might even be a good one to think about.

Many adult males do not talk about it because many women are uncomfortable and it makes the daddy uncomfortable. My dad is nice with the issue, yet i experience awkward, and that makes him awkward. additionally they don't comprehend totally what to assert. What in the journey that they have got complicated questions? not only elementary ones? Many adult males gained't take care of the files of sessions after extreme college. they are going to easily take care of the files to leave their girlfriends/different halves on my own even as the time comes, and they could't continuously have sex. except that, they don't care. Now, i imagine that many adult males might want to talk the issue with their females in elementary words on a small foundation, in order that the daughter is established with that they could come to their father if favor be, and by no skill be embarrassed.

My dad's not like that at all. I told him when I started and he was happy for me. Happy that I was a woman. I tell him when I'm not feeling well because of it and everything. Maybe I don't have the exact same conversations as I do with my mom, but I can still talk about it. Maybe some guys are really freaked out by that and that's really sad.

There is no justification for fathers trying to sneak out of parental responsibilities simply because "girl stuff" gives them the heebie-jeebies.
Unfortunately, we don't live in "Should World", where everyone does what they should. Lots of wrong messages get sent to their kids by parents every day. It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to improve the situation: it just means that we shouldn't get our hopes up that, as a group, men (or women) are going to significantly change in our lifetimes.

Its always better to listen from people who have shared experinces. Like moms or elder sister. They put it in first person prespective making it easier for the budding child to understand & relate to.
A man would be supportive only of what a possibly undergones in the transition phase while a woman will aid, assit & guide the child .

I know this isn't normally the case, but to be honest, I did talk to my daughters about it, and I wasn't a single father.
Even when I remarried, my step daughter came to me and talked about it when she started her periods. My wife couldn't believe it, but it showed her my open attitude toward sex created a comfortable atmosphere where even her daughter wasn't embarrassed to talk to me about it.
So why didn't it bother me like it does some men? I guess because I'm not afraid of sex or embarrassed about it, and I don't have the typical sexual hang ups that many people do, men and women included.

This makes no sense to me because its usually the mothers who talk to all the children about development. Fathers tend to duck out of covering serious topics.

Don't know enough about it.However,I can't get my mother to stop talking about it.So if I ever get a daughter I'll go first in the discussion and all the loop holes can be filed in from her grandma since she enjoys talking about it so much.
