Hi, has anyone tried explaining menopause and related moods and erratic behaviours to their teenage sons? I tried yesterday (after a red mist outburst) but not too sure my 16 yr old son was too impressed with my explanation!! Px

I'm really open about it. Don't think we've had a formal sit down conversation but I do explain what's going on and how I'm feeling, just as I try and talk through what they're experiencing.

It is tricky isn't it?

Teenagers are going through their own stuff tbh

I am trying to be tolerant of their moods and explain that I am experiencing similar, not sure if that helps?
