Need some advice.

Hi I am not sure if this is the correct place to put this but I have a strange problem. My Mum died not that long ago and I was very upset but it is only now that I have found a really big problem. My Mum used to but my tampons every month on her trip to the supermarket and put them in the bathroom but now that she has gone my Dad does not think of buying any.I do not feel able to ask him to but them for obvious reasons but I need them.At the moment I have been using toilet paper but I feel uncomfortable and uneasy.What do you think I should do?

write a little list and give it to your dad saying, "dad, i've run out of a few personal supplies, mum used to get them for me but could you get them for me next time you go shopping?"
then give him a list something like this -

deoderant,
spot cream
tampons
cotton wool

etc

i guarantee he won't be embarrassed and i guarantee that he already knows you have periods and use tampons (he has looked in the box, wouldn't you have?), he is just not thinking about it because of losing your mum - he has a lot on his mind. it is perfectly natural that this wouldn't have crossed his mind.

he would actually probably be a little upset if he knew how you were agonising and suffereing over this because you were too scared to tell him

or ask an auntie or someone to tell him

What a surprise, you will take your own advice

[Suzyboo]

Very. Think it was a bid to be accepted as nice by dispensing advice to a troubled soul but since incapable of actually being helpful, the problems had to be invented too
