I'm Finally Learning How To Navigate PMS, Just As My Daughter Is Starting Her Period

"For 24 hours every month, I hate my family," writes Vanessa Kroll Bennett today. "Two days later my period arrives. At which point, I am relieved because it means I didn't actually hate them, it was just my period. This happens EVERY SINGLE MONTH. I have been menstruating for 35 years. You'd think I'd get the hang of this period thing by now." But, as it turns out, she's still adjusting to her body. And now as her teen daughter embarks on her journey, Vanessa is learning to suss out what it all means and how she can teach her daughter to really know her body.

Why Farting In Front Of Your Partner Is Actually Good For Your Relationship

I know I'm probably talking to a bunch of people who have been married or partnered up for quite some time, meaning all real romance likely left years ago.

Whether you fart in your sleep, or while fully awake and watching a movie, it happens. Now we just have actual expert-backed conclusivity that it ain't all that bad.
