My experience with my mother was similar to genuinegirly, but I did tell my mother and asked for her help on the day I started my period. She suggested I lay down and take a nap. As if I could sleep!
My relationship with my girls is similar to that of onesnowyowl, without the grandpa. Instead I took them each out to lunch, and my oldest sort of wiggled her hips.
