"My boobs hurt."

[Allenberg]

This is what I hear as I get my coffee this morning, from my almost 12-year old niece talking to my mother.

No way she's growing up this fast. I remember changing her diapers.

1. My kid went thru the same thing.

Now she's 16 and frontloaded. Ugh. People used to tell me I don't look 40. About a year ago they quit doing that. Damn.

2. That happens to girls that age

Mine hurt then too. I don't know if that is just because they were growing or if I got a bra too late (My first bra was a B cup).
I live a distance from my realtives including my half siblings (different halfs though, boy and girl). I stopped seeing them regularly 10 years ago when they were in kindergarten. Now they are high school freshmen. They both are taller than me, evidently getting the recessive tall genes and their voices have changed. They also are both dating.

3. Aaaaahhhhhhh!

Doesn't it just kill ya?

I remember my daughter saying something similar . All I could think was "Oh no! Oh no! You are not growing up!"


Khash.

4. At least you didn't hear it from your nephew.

5. It was the same with me.

I wish my mom had known to tell me about evening primerose oil caplets for premenstrual breast pain. It might have saved me 32 years of suffering.

6. primrose oil caplets?

Never heard that. Can you give more details? Does it help with other symptoms of PMS?

7. Be glad that's all it was
