11 year old daughters friend has had her period for a few months but hasn't told her mum so hasn't been using proper sanitary products apart from when my dd has given them to her which means I have started buying extra for her to give to her friend.

I don't know the mum well but we have each others phone numbers because are daughters are friends and we've chatted before. She seems nice, DDs met her loads and says shes really is and her friend hasn't given dd any reason to why she hasn't told her apart from just not wanting to.

So WIBU to message her mum and tell her? Or say I've heard the girls talking/seen texts and think she might have started but I'm not sure so she can bring it up.

I know I would be upset if it was my daughter and annoyed if another parent knew and didn't tell me but my friend I asked thinks its definitely not my place to say anything if the friends doesn't want her mum to know.

I can’t imagine doing anything ‘you’re a woman now’. I get where it’s coming from but no you’re not. You’re an 11 year old child.

Does she know that you know? I think you should talk with her directly and ask if she is ok and whether she needs help brainstorming how to start the conversation with mum. You could then turn it funny so she doesn't feel embarrassed any more.
