My 12yo, crashing out over something miniscule: WHY DO YOU ALWAYS MINIMIZE MY LEGITIMATE EMOTIONS BY SAYING IT'S HORMONES‽‽‽

My 12yo 30 minutes later: You were right, Mom, it was hormones.

Due to contraception my cycle is all over the place. At least once a month I’ll start a period and it’s like a lightbulb moment when I’m like ‘that’s why I was crashing out about utter nonsense last night’. It’s like I know I’m being totally unreasonable in the moment, but it really feels like a hill I’d die on type thing.

Hahaha my teenage age daughter when she was overreacting and all I asked is do we have enough pads/tampons? WHY DO YOU BLAME MY PERIOD EVERYTIME I'M UPSET?!?! one day later.... mom I could definitely use a restock on supplies and chocolate.
