yes I have said to her that I don’t like it either. She doesn’t want to feel that she’s growing older so have to be careful about the ‘womanhood’ thing which I found out the hard way! She’s doing pretty well, not wanting to talk about it at all. On the way back from Sensational Kids I did bring it up, just to tell her that when she goes to the toilet at school, unless she’s changing her pad she’s not to take the old one off. She seemed ok about me saying that. I think it’ll just take time. As you say, it’s horrible for all of us. Unfortunately it’s just one of those ‘shit happens’ things that happen to us chicks!

thanks Nic, so far so good, though haven’t lived through this day yet!
