Comments on: Book Review: My Little Red Book, by Rachel Kauder Nalebuff http://msbookish.com/book-review-my-little-red-book-by-rachel-kauder-nalebuff/ Everything I know, I learned from a book. Well, maybe not everything ...

I got this book yesterday. I tore through it, and finished it this morning (I got the updated version, which included an essay by Judy Blume). In middle school, girls can have one of three attitudes about periods. They either (a) can't wait for it to come, (b) absolutely dread it, or (c) don't care either way. I myself belong to the first group. This book showed me that I wasn't alone in that, that I wasn't stupid just because I'm not dreading the cramps or anything. And I was shocked by the attitudes of some of the mothers, as well as the lack of information (particularly in "Men-shu"). Overall, this is a very good book! I highly recommend it!

In that first year we were married he bought feminine products at the store and some bag boys heckled him and made fun of him asking him if he was buying the products for himself. He wouldn't go shopping for feminine products for years after that. Now he's very mature about it and doesn't really care what anyone thinks. He'll actually buy me boxes of Instead and liners without me asking, if he thinks I might need them. He's totally awesome! <abbr><em>Alyce’s last blog post..<a href="http://athomewithbooks.blogspot.com/2009/03/only-true-genius-in-family-review.html" rel="nofollow">The Only True Genius in the Family - Review</a></abbr></em> I hadn’t thought about it from a man’s point of view, but my husband only had brothers and knew basically nothing about the time of the month when we got married.
