My mom did this to me. I had just turned 12 and I got my period for the first time. I told my mom that I just got my period. She gave me a firm slap across the face. I stood there stunned mumbling "Why'd you do that?" She said she did it for good luck.
I come from a Jewish family, and as far as I know the 'mazel tov slap' is an old tradition.

I never felt ashamed about being a woman and having my period. I actually liked it. I always felt calm and horny (yes horny) when I was menstruating. Boyfriends and husband got sent shopping and bought me maxi pads. I never wore tampons because I was afraid of toxic shock syndrome and I didn't like them. It's like I was glowing with hormones and radiant when I had it. I was always sorry for women who complained and dreaded having their periods.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
