My mom and I have always had a rocky relationship, and I didn't know anything about sex or my period or anything. I started in the 5th grade (I think), and we'd just had "the talk" at school so I knew what has happening. It started it my English class, so I had to call to go home too. I do remember having to tie my jacket around my waist and then I had a huge blood stain on my panties, jeans, and jacket. Lol, funny the things you remember. Luckily my mom is a genie in the washroom so she got it all out.
My parents are very, very, very conservative (up until recently, when I turned 21) so I was never told anything about anything growing up. She still doesn't know I've been on BC for the past year and a half. She did set up my first gyno appointment, I hadn't had sex yet but I'd fooled around and I remember being scared to death she was going to get my gonorrhea test results before I got home from school. But anyway, to sum it up, I do plan on telling my daughter early if I have one, and I want her to be more open with me and have a better relationship with me than I had with my mother the first 18 years of my life.
