when I first got my period my mom was taking a defensive driving course online and pushing her deadline, so when i went to tell her i got a "not right now" I dont think she had even heard what i said to her in the first place. We had talked about it though so I knew what to do and had a stash of slim fit tampons. it took me acouple tries to get it in right but i got it and told her the next day. I wish circumstances had been a bit different but we talked more about it later and everything was fine.
