Since my teenage I have been taking part in the purchases at home and my mother ad sister had no hesitation to ask me to buy for them, sanitary pads, Panties or Bras as per requirement.<br />Our family has come from a town place and shifted to the city since 1960,therefore many a family friend of member has asked us about guidance in fields of Taboo in a normal Indian families from the rural and town areas. <br /><br />The problems:-<br /><br />1) Discussion about Menstrual periods are not openly held even in small families,more so with the Father's involvement.<br /><br />2) Ignorance of Sex and sexual changes taking place naturally.<br /><br />3) Withdrawal of girls from education when they reach puberty as no Sanitation facilities are available.<br /><br />4) Procurement of Sanitary pads at a cheaper cost.No awareness of substitutes <br /><br />5) Early marriages so as to let off "burden" of looking after female children and their safety.<br /><br />6) Irrational taboos carried on from ancestral and ignorant social members under the garb of religion.<br /><br />Now that my daughters are married and my son adult enough I am proud to mention that there was no query on the face of the earth that I denied my children from asking me as they grew up.I have always treated them as my "friends" and have acted as their "confidante" I thought that their Biological father is the 'best' person to answer their Problems and give them solutions and the right "information". cmvairalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699676887884625721noreply@blogger.com
