Periods, and exDH

[B1rd]

I'm divorced but have a 13 year old who stays at her Dads almost 50% of the week. He never buys deodorant and tampons etc.
Do other Mums find they have to buy for their daughters, for their exH's house?
I dont have a problem with buying extra of either and do. She takes when she needs.

Teen girls can be incredibly quiet about this stuff to their dads.

My daughters used to spend a lot of time at my father's house, and the eldest once complained to me that when she told my dad's wife that she needed pads, grandpa ended up taking her down to the pharmacy to get some. I pointed out that he'd had two daughters and four wives so probably knew about menstruation, but she thought it was still awful.

Depending where you live, maybe you could suggest your daughter shop for her own toiletries at both of your houses?

I don't know why you would call this smuggling as its her stuff. If you were going away for a weekend you would bring your own stuff. I never understand this way of looking at it. My ds has a 14 year old ..he was a very young Dad. He stacked up immediately he knew she got her period and takes her shopping to get stuff. But she also likes to have her own stuff . He does pay proper maintenance and extra expenses so presumably her mom doesn't mind her
