And I bet they all stagger their time of the month individually so that you end up with just one PMS-free day, don't they? We usually plan it that way on purpose when we live in groups ;-)

Hell, I wish. I could handle them one at the time. I get a week of pure unadulturated hell. Which apparently ends Wednesday.

I'll second that v-man. I call it hell week around my house. During that week I roll in the door raising hell so they'll know I'm in a bad mood too.

Once they're done throwing crap at me and threatening to remove my nads with pliers I go hide in my office.

I got three boys and a husband. I figure there's going to be so much damn testosterone around my dinner table in 4 years when my eldest hits 15, making them 15, 13, and 11... and don't forget my husband... that my frickin' house is going to reverberate. I'm thinking of moving out.

Egad! PMS bashing from a metro? I have been let down.

I happen to think men and women would have all the same issues regardless, depending on their respective bitchiness levels in general, regardless of hormonal fluctuations, which actually account for very little, and certainly do not exclusively burden the fairer sex.

Key, you are way off base. I have a 12 year old and a 17 year old and a, ahem, over 29 woman going fucking batshit. Speaking to me like I'm the frigging Mandingo, and haven't coaled up the farplace yit. Incredible disrespect. Impudence, vitriol, sass. If I am careful, and hide, they turn on themselves, a bitching spectacle.

I don't even see men act this reprehensibly at a damned Bulldogs game in the common urinal. Even a fucking drunk Neanderthal remembers to say "Scuse me" as he pisses on your foot.

I will refrain from mentioning the term "stoning", as I would rather just move away.

And all will be right in a couple of days.

I've seen studies suggesting that, and proved it when my 2 daughters came of age and were still living at home, that women living together do tend to synchronize their cycles somehow and end up all pre- and post- & OTR at the same time. Just one of those little biological marvels of our species. Pain in the ass enough if you're one of the females -- gotta be hell being the only male! My dad had 6 of us AND a female dwag, poor thing.

Oops -- that would be dawg, BTW.

Live with it! This is payback for thousands of years of patriarchal oppression. PMS isn't just a biological event; it's a physical manifestation of epochs of suffering in the form of cramps, headaches, grumpiness, and temporary psychosis.

Heh heh... be careful what you wish for. You want them all to NOT have periods?

Now you know the reason man created corn whiskey.

... synchronization, man.... when the wheels click, it is bad, bad medicine....

Next time leave before your damnation!
How can you trust anything that bleeds for a week and don't die?

I hear "keen" is making a comeback.

I can't believe you would have it spread out over the month than all completed in a week. Egads. Then again, turn about happens... my dad had 3 girls, and I have 2 boys. Eeek.

With my ex, I'd toss a chocolate bar through the door before I entered, and when she pounced on it, I'd dart her in the ass and close the door until the tranq took effect. When I heard the first snore, I'd go in and behold the behemoth, chocolate smeared about her cheeks, and drag her back to her 'special' room and lock the door from the outside for a few days.

I'm only half kidding. When I'd see that fell light begin to rise in her eyes, I'd lock up the knives and guns and likker, and request double shifts for a few days.

She'd become an utter loon, dangerous to boot (broke my nose, twice...) and then, right in mid-shriek, you'd see the light fade, and she'd be looking at you all like "What?"

Then she'd sweetly deny everything...

Mandingo...I love it...you are not fucking right!!!

Bwanna Simba...Bad Bad Juju...

Bwahahahahah!!!

Join in the fun and use their tampons as earplugs. ;)

Nothing used, obviously. Ick!

Listen to the wisdom of the ages from the tribal elder (aka James Old Guy):

Whiskey!

I've lived with the synchronization with unrelated women under one roof. Hell, I remember one summer, the tomato summer, when my wife and girlfriend were in synch, living half a block away from each other.

I'm with Boudicca. Hey, but living in a houseful of men when you're the only woman..pms means a couple of days off. I make it easy for them...let me lock myself in the bedroom with a chocolate cake and a good book and a few beers and leave me the hell alone..and everybody gets to live. They don't have much problem obliging me. When my daughter's time has come, I'll have paved the way...

Ah, the dreaded "sync"... real men tremble at the thought.

It happens across states. It never fails when we go to visit the in-laws ALL of the females in the family are at one stage or another...or going through menopause...
