I had a great few days riding with my son halfway across the country so he could have his jeep with him on base. The night before we were to fly home hell started coming back. I really don't understand my sd14. The skids were with us till last Monday and a few days before they went home sd must have started her period. When I called dh Tuesday night (our last night of our trip) he informs me that when he was doing laundry he found two pair of sd's panties completely soaked through with blood and a pair of her pants that were just as bad. She obviously had ran out of pads but why in the hell didn't she say anything to anyone? At that age and even now, if I was caught where I didn't have anything I would ask a stranger if I had to. What is wrong with this girl that she would rather go without pads then ask someone to get them for her? It's not like there wasn't any females around fir her to ask. She had spent Saturday night and most of Sunday next door with her grandmother and she could have also texted her mother to have her ask my dh if she wanted. We didn't even know she had started her period until dh found the panties. That also means she went to school Monday without anything for her period, and as far as I know she didn't have any money so she could get anything from the dispensers in the restroom. This isn't the first time she has done something like this, though it wasn't this bad before and I relized soon enough to get her something. Before was when we were driving home from a camping trip. Not sure when she started then but on one of our pit stops I noticed she had toilet paper hanging out of her shorts. It was enough to see that she had put it there purposely so I figured out what was going on and asked her if she needed some pads. Of course I immediately went back into the store and bought her some and explained that even if it's only her dad around all she's got to say is that it's a girl issue and he will know what she's needing. I know my biod12 would have no problem asking dh if I wasn't here when she needed some or she would call her meme. I just don't get sd though. How could she do something like that that would be putting herself in risk of such huge embarrassment, especially at school? I had considered telling the girls (more because of how badly sd's panties will be even when she's got pads) that if I keep finding panties like that, they will start washing their own. I'm now thinking of saying that plus if they are bad enough to get blood stains on other peoples clothing because of putting them in the hamper that way, then they will pay to replace them.
