I (38M) have a daughter, Anna (12), who got her period Monday. I was talking with my mom (71) a day or two ago and Anna came up so I mentioned that Anna got her period. My mom ended up telling a bunch of other family members including my sister (32F) and aunt (68F).
My sister sent my daughter a text about it being good timing or something because my daughter doesn’t go back to school until next week so she’ll be able to “get the hang of it” by then. My daughter showed it to me and started screaming saying that her period was private and I shouldn’t have told anyone. She is mortified and upset.
I talked to my wife (36F) about it because I don’t see the big deal – we don’t keep secrets in this family and I don’t think periods are anything to be embarrassed about but my wife took my daughter’s side and said that in the future I should ask Anna before I share any details of her life with anyone, especially my mom who likes to share family information.
I really thought it wasn’t an issue, but now I’m wondering, AITA?
