Well, I've never met my dad and don't have a stepdad or anything but I'll answer with what I know. When I got my period my first thought was to tough it out but eventually my mom found a pair of soiled underwear. She asked me if I knew what it was and I did but I said "I'd rather not say" because I've never had a really close relationship with my mom when it came to that sort of thing and it was a bit awkward. I got my period really young so through the years I've gotten good about covering up bringing a tampon to the washroom with me. I'm pretty sure she told all my aunts about it over the phone and eventually I got fed up and told not to tell everything to everyone unless they need to know because I'll be staying with them. I'm not sure if my brothers know or not but I don't feel like finding an answer to that question. I'd say leave the girl talk to your wife or if you have an older daughter who already got hers, even better.
My dad was the best when I got my period! I was a tomboy and rejected being a girl. Don't get me wrong my mom was the first call when I was balling my eyes out cause I was a women but she was at work. My brother offered to go buy me tampons and my sister in law gave me the talk but it took years for me to be comfortable about it.
My dad didn't ignore it or make a big deal about it. He wasn't disgusted and made sure he didn't say anything to make me uncomfortable. He was understand I had cramps and he'd get me a heat pack and bring me candy. He made it so if I needed him to I could ask him to go buy me some tampons and he would no questions asked (minus the kind and that) Don't bring it up to her just make sure she knows you understand
Well, my mom wasn't in the picture when that happened f0r me, so it was all up to my dad. I knew it was going to happen at some point, but wjen the time finally came, it was nice that my dad knew just what to do ( he grew up with 3 girls) he told me that anytime i needed tamponsor whatnot, to just tell him, or just ask for money if i didn't feel comfy asking him to buy me girl things. It wasmt awkward in anyway, but then again he pretyy much raised me, so i was used to any of that. If i had to do it over again, id want my dad to help me again. My ma Probably would have made a big deal about it.
Let her mom take care of it. Don't talk about it unless she brings it up to you. If she does bring it up, answer her honestly and straight forward.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Don't say anything to her, definitely let her mom handle it. It's weird and awkward enough for her as it is right now, so just don't add yourself to the equation. She'll appreciate that.
As far as I'm concerned he doesn't even need to know. My mom sat me down and was like, "Listen kid, this is what's going to be happening to you in the future." And I was like, "Okay."
Dad had no part in it. It is not something he and I discuss. We are very close to each other but we don't discuss my woman things.
Unless the mother is not present, the father doesn't really need to educate his daughter about that time of her life or give her a cake or even say anything. As long as he doesn't totally flip a lid, that's good.
It's the dad's job to scare the shit out of all the little boys who come calling and to help her with homework and teach her how to mow the lawn and other life stuff. He doesn't need to play a part in her period.
when i started i barely told my mom haha it was very discrete and i never told my dad but she did. we dont really ever talk about it (me and him) but if the subject comes up i find it to be very awkward haha but maybe not all girls are the same in that sense.. i think it depends on the girl and your relationship with her!
If she wants to talk to you about it, don't act grossed out or anything like that. Maybe make sure that she has everything she needs.
when i got my first period i felt so uncomfortable about it..i turned towards my mom..but when i have to buy sanitary pads/tampons..i ask my dad to buy them
When my sister got her period, it's like nothing ever really happened. I already told her what to do and not what to do ages before she got her period, when she got it I told her it's a normal thing. Everything was OK. I told my parents on the phone, since they don't live with us. They were fine with it.
Let her mom take care of it, don't get mixed in with it. Just act like you don't even know what a period is. Talking about it with your mom is bad enough when you just start.
I remember my first time on my period. My father have no reaction, because it's normal for a girl. He cleaned up after me during that night. my mom told me about it, like why it is happening? etc. Because I got scared and I though I was going to die coz of the blood. But ever since then I take care of myself.
He should act as though it is something totally normal. I told both my parents. He should ask if she would need anything like a aspirin or heating pad for cramps or something like that. Although I do think that for getting the "feminine products" though you should have her mother go with her.
Why not leave it to her mother?
Let her mom handle this. It's awkward enough for her, she probabaly doesn't want to talk to a guy about it
