Dad’s Menstrual Dilemma: Staying in His Lane or Dodging Responsibility? ♂️
This dad found himself in a tricky situation when his 13-year-old daughter asked him for permission to stay home from school due to menstrual issues. He told her to talk to her mom, who he believed was more qualified to make that decision. However, this led to misunderstandings, with his daughter thinking he’s mad at her and his wife thinking he’s trying to be uninvolved. He insists he’s just trying to stay in his lane, since he has no personal experience with menstruation. The family has sought medical help, and the dad just wants his wife to help their daughter learn when it’s necessary to stay home. So, what do you think about this dad’s decision? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this situation…
