Seriously. It's not personal. It has more to do with the scrambled nature of the girl-child's brain and less to do with your parenting skills.

exactly. She most likely won't want to talk to anyone about it particularly, but especially not her father who has her on a princess pedestal where she wants to stay. and who doesn't want to thing of her as a sexual being..... and especially not when she's dealing with periods, which is also something she's also unlikely to want to discuss with her daddy-dearest, at least when they first start and she's just coming to terms with it all. I mean, do you know how to insert a tampon?.....

One of my dau took forever to get one in, the other mastered it in a few short weeks. But not without difficulty. It takes a pretty understanding father to deal with issues surrounding their periods. Mom was a bit more grounding when dealing with them and the mood swings, dads just need to be openly supportive. Not an easy thing for most men.
