to think that menstrual syncronicity is not at all nice.

[EccentricaGallumbits]

the DDs appear to be channeling my PMT and amplifying it.

somebody is going to get murdered and DH is going to have to leave.
Please tell me it gets better/easier? (neither DD has actually started periods yet but both are being vile and hormonal)

I dread the day this happens - dd is 12.

DH will be spending a lot of time in the shed

I am female and had four sisters - I was the second youngest - hence Numberfour.It was chaos in our house sometimes!

YADNBU. But it will get easier: when your daughters move out !!!

going to need shares in evening primrose production.

My father had an awful time of it when my mum, sister and I all had our period at the same time!!

And he did have a shed that he spent a lot of time in!!!

I'm sure he did a little dance when I moved out and then my sister!!!

It gets better dd2 nearly 15 was a nightmare from about 11 until she started her periods 18 months ago at least now we know when to tread on eggshells around her I don't have them anymore thankfully as I put DH through hell every month.

We have a live-in aupair. If there was synchronicity, I never noticed it in terms of change in mood in the house. Then again, I don't really get PMT. Must check with dh.

Nothing in the office either - I work in a closeknit team of about 8 women.

my dd's DO seem to have synched with me!!!

they are 16 and 14 and have 3 younger brothers......its hell!!

When I was at Uni the three girls in our house all synched together and the boys hid.

DH is dreading the 3 DDs starting. He's planning on moving into the Holiday Inn once a month and sending Tesco's round with a vat of ice cream, 2 tonnes of chocolate and a skip of kettle chips and that's just for me!

TruthSweet - you DH is wise... oh so wise....

It does happen and it is a nightmare - it's good when you want to plan a camping holiday though ...

ummm... clearly to avoid it for all of you, not go camping then!!!

According to the (male) medical community it doesn't exist.

That will be along with, until recently) the female sex drive, the female IQ, and the female ability to drive.

YABU - Imagine what it'd be like if it wasn't synchronized. PMT in the house at least 3 weeks out of 4 . In the worst case scenario it'd be spaced so there were only ever a couple of days at a time that none of you had PMT...

YANBU not to enjoy the hormone fueled madness of those few days in the month. Sounds hellish.

Me, mum and my sister all syncronised. It was hell.

My poor dad.

Mind you, I suppose it got it all out of the way at once

However, 3 pms-ing females under one roof did not a happy family make.

I didn't know the medical community had poo-pooed it, colditz. How odd of them.

YANBU but get used to it !! I first learned about this syndrone during 7 years of all-girls boarding school - just imagine that :( Then in due course my DTwinDs synchronised with me, all of us bang on the same day each month. DH made monthly midnight visits to Tesco where he got funny looks for having a basket full of sanitary supplies, chocolate and some alcohol to console himself ! This went on for six years until they went to uni and now they thankfully live together in London where apparently its still the same for them now!I guess the only advantage is the occasional special offers on Tampax etc. Good luck :)
