There is a certain time of the month where my sister gets very moody, and wants to bite people's heads off. I now when she acts like that, I know what is happening. My question...

Why do ladies anger so easily, or are so annoyed easily during that one time of the month?

Again a curious guy having to ask this question, and wanting to know from the ladies, point of view.

it's hormonal fluctuation. one minute we could be ready to kill you the next we could be crying about it. so when your sister gets like that the best thing for you to do is stay as far away as possible because pretty much anything can set us off & every woman is different so what upsets your sister may not set off some other woman you know. oh if staying away from your sister when she's like that isn't possible be as nice as you possiblly can......it's your safest alternative.

I completely agree with you, lileasluna![llama-banana]

oh wow I am going through that right now, I felt my husband was attacking me all day yesterday when he wasn't, I just felt intimidated. I wouldn't suggest staying away, because if you come across a woman like me, I would get offended if you did. You have totry and understand that this isn't easy for some of us, it's a very emotional and painful time of month, that I certainly dread.

i would say try and be compassionate, don't say anything that would anger her even more, Â*and if she is unbearable then yes it's best to leave the house for awhile!!!

Agreed! [lol]

Here's a friendly piece of advise:
Under NO circumstances should you EVER try to tell her the reason she's acting like that is because it's her "time of the month" [lol] You're SURE to get your head bitten off that way! [wink]

My better half knows it when it's coming on & is just extra nice & understanding. I usually don't have a hard time with it, but he's a very perceptive & gentle soul & does what he can to get me through it (unscathed). [lol]

I've gotten pretty good at telling when my "time of the month" is causing me to be cranky and I can warn my husband that the time is here and to be careful. He understands that there is nothing I can do about it and likes the warning.

One thing to be careful of is some people will use that time of the month to become some bad tempered BI**H crazy person. My mother-in-law is so bad that my Father-in-law stays in a hotel when it is her time of the month. She is not a nice person and uses this as an excuse to act anyway she wants and is just nasty to everyone. I have seen her make people cry just for fun. I don't think that is ok. I know I always had a hard time with my time of the month but you can't go around doing stuff like that. You should be understanding but if she is just being nasty you should tell her that is not ok to treat others that way.

You know, I just wanted to add that for me, the cramps make me angry with pain.

Then I can get real mean.

I soooo hate that! There are definitely women out there that will do that. [frown] There's NO excuse for ugly behavior like that. If I were your father-in-law... it'd STAY at the the hotel.

I have one remedy...chocolate. It calms the savage beast. Keep some of it lying around and watch meloncholy kick in.

That's how I am when I run OUT!!![grin]
