Because according to a dear female relative, they "dont need to know"!
They were nagging to go somewhere and I feel awful so we cant. My periods are very short, 2 days usually, but I am in constant dragging pain the whole time and they are very very heavy for those 2 days. I tend to see the pain as a pay off for short periods, but it is horrible. So I said that sorry, not today as I have period pain and wasnt feeling very good. D Mum female relative said it wasnt appropriate, especially in front of DS (10) who didnt need to know.
I said that it was better he learned now how crap it can be so he can be more understanding and supportive to his OH when he is older, but she didnt agree.
So, AIBU or should I say that "Mummy has a tummy ache" whilst retiring to the sofa with a box of paracetamol and a hot water bottle as she seems to think I should?
