How would you react to one of these scenarios?

Question

1.  Guys , you're home alone taking care of the kids. Your wife is out of town at a board meeting and can't have her phone on her. Your teenage daughter gets her period for the first time. She needs your help. Whats your reaction. Do you know what you’d do? 2.  Girls , you’re home alone taking care of the kids. Your husband is out of town at a board meeting can't have his phone on hin. Your teenage son just woke up after experiencing a wet dream. He needs you to explain to him what happened and why his sheets ended up all sticky. Whats your reaction. Do you know what you’d do? #FeelFreeToList #itsAboutThatTime My Answers: 1. Lol I asked my boyfriend the first question earlier today. His reaction was so funny haah. He was like “Can I Skype your laptop during the meeting, its an emergency! But if you can't answer then i’ll just do google! I dont know what to get her from the store! How do i even put it on her?” Lmaoo 🙈😂 i was like babe, just put her in a toddler pullup until i get home. He was like OKAY!! Then i was like wait im kidding lol and then i explained everything to him haha.  2. Im not sure wht i’d tell him. I’d just be like, youve reached that age where you’ll get horny when you see a hot chick. And then you’ll probably dream about her and a bunch of horniness will end up oozing out your dick. No biggie. Let me wash your sheets and you just keep doin what you do best son! Keep oozing!! Just dont ooze your way into some hot chicks vagina.

As always dear Dizzy, surprisingly interesting questions.
I am a person who overthinks a lot and in my work I am a perfectionist, which means I cannot accept to deliver a task if in my own opinion is not perfectly done!
I should have a To-Do list stored somewhere in the house, where this case is one of the emergencies that need my attention, and immediately.
Of course, her lovely mother, my endless love, would have pointed out the steps to follow and what to do.
First, before cleaning the mess around, I should take care of her and make sure she is OK, safe and sound (including the shower and hygiene)
Second, lay her down on the sofa with a hot beverage, nice healthy snack and maybe a good DVD we could watch together.
Meanwhile, would clean the mess around, wash her clothes, etc...
Finally, go lay next to her, a nice hug, watch the movie, give her the attention she needs, and help her forget about the mess.

When her mother comes back home, we sit together as a family, and explain to her what happened and how she can deal with it the next time.

Of course, the details would be for her lovely caring mother to explain and teach :-)

I know, men are usually worthless in this kind of situations :-P

I assume she knows what menstruation is. I'd tell her not to be embarrassed.. that husbands and fathers know about this.
I would get one or more sheets of paper towel and fold them such as to be the size and thickness of a menstrual pad. I would describe (by physical example outside my clothes) how to place it. Since there is probably a mess, I'd tell her to to take a shower and use the "pad" in her underwear when she dresses, after which I (or we) would go to the Walgreen's and buy her a package of pads.
If she arrived early and mom hadn't gotten around to discussing what this is, I'd give her a crash course in what menstruation is about. I know she might be "dying 1000 deaths" of embarrassment, but I would be the calm, TV dad and work through it.

If that happened to my son, I'd take it as an opportunity to start sex ed. Explain that he's maturing and teach him the functions of a penis, and tell him that random boners and wet dreams are common and harmless. I'd tell him everything I know, but I'd encourage him to ask his father anything that he wants a man's perspective on (when father gets home).

Lmao well sit down and explain him that he is a grown boy and probably explain in detail what happened and why. Clean the bed and also put some "how to not get someone pregnant, cause then he is a death boy" speech in there. Watch his reactions and later go to my room and laugh at it and maybe cry at the same time cause he is growing up lol

Help my daughter. Get her a change of clothes and start a hot shower for her. Then in another bathtub (if we have two), make her a hot bath with a bath-bomb and scented candles to soak in after cleaning up the initial mess. Once she's dried off and changed I'd wrap her up in a comforter blanket and watch Avatar: The Last Airbender together on the couch... or if she prefers My Little Pony.

fauchelevent · Answer

I'd feel weird about that. A teenager should understand wet dreams. I learnt about that shit in year 6 when I was 10 years old as I imagine my child would so it'd just be odd to me that he didn't know about that stuf. I guess I'd go through a brief explanation of wet dreams and let him know to just wash the sheets next time.

SarahsSummer · Answer

Lol. There’s no way I’d say all that to my son. For me it’d be Ike, “son you’re at the age where your body is going through changes and it’s completely normal. Now help me change the sheets so you can go back to sleep”

SmoMan71 · Answer

What kind of parent lets their kids live long enough without teaching making sure they understand how their own bodies work?

In the unlikely event that I am ever tasked with explaining menstruation to a teenage girl I am quite capable of doing so. but that is something she should have learned before it ever started.

Hans222 · Answer

Always "don't panic" since panic can only make things worse!
I'd ask the girl if she wanted any help from me, since that could be a "no thanks". I could for example hand over some paper towels, or worst case my handkerchief. Improvise with what we have...

CHARismatic110 · Answer

Lol I wouldn't panic. I'd just sit him down and explain to him that he's at an age where girls no longer have cooties, and that his body is gonna start reacting in a different way when he sees ones that he may be attracted to. He's a teenager so I'm assuming he knows a little about sex so I'll just tell him that what happened in the dream is what happens during sex and that we'll talk more about it when his dad gets home.

Cuintan · Answer

Sorry, I don't see a problem here? This should all be pretty routine stufff with even a modicum of sex ed.

JDavid25 · Answer

I think I could manage it

alice55 · Answer

I would tell him "Ask google"

Anpu23 · Answer

Easy peasy. You're becoming a young woman now. Once a month this will happen, it lasts about a week. The ancients called it moon blood because it comes with the moon cycle. It's perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. There are a few solutions to help control the blood, for now we'll try a pad, it just attaches to your panties and it absorbs it. When it's full you just fold it in half, and throw it away. The other options go inside of you, and if that's something that you want to try, we'll have to get some for you. But for now...

aaaae2e · Answer

Take him to the hospital cuz this is not normal.

veronicalynn · Answer

I break it down for him.. Answer any questions and we move on with life. My kids and I are close and they comfortable asking about anything

RicanEyes · Answer

Well I would tell my son that his body is changing not to make a big deal out of it. Then I would say lets clean up your sheets and put some new ones so I can wash the ones on your bed. When your dad gets home he can talk more about it with you.

#1 google it
Nah Nah Nah but seriously first id calm her down and try to explain what was happening im the best way possible help her get cleaned up if she needed after she's all cleaned up go out and get her some tampons. tell her the instructions and if she wants help i would do my best to help her at any point once that's all done I'd let her mom explain the rest once she was home and explain anything that i missed or just didn't know. hopefully that's would have been a good response to that situation

ZeussLightningBolt · Answer

Grab some towels and wait for wifey to come home

owens97 · Answer

id better at explaining the period one but wouldn't panic in either

_dardorsama_ · Answer

Well my wife would talk about girls period all the time when they're in that age so they won't get panic when it started... and they fully prepared (she would have pads and stuff ready)

So if that happens I would just say "OK do you remember what your mom says about girls periods so now it's the time to apply everything that she told you to do"

I would contact my sister in law or my mother in law so they would come over and supervise things... but even if I can't reach them we got it covered

RedThread · Answer

I'd get her some women products and tell her the instructions are on the box
