Yeah, that usually works, as long as my daughter doesn't find it - she loves Lindt.

Chocolate tastes better than Flintstones Chewables.

Vitex Agnus is a women's best friend!!! add Chocolate and there is no hormonal challenge too great.

PMS is a really difficult issue to deal with because it's certainly crazy to suggest it to a woman when she's in the thoes of it, and after it's gone, I guess maybe you're just glad it's over or maybe even wonder if you were just temporarily insane.

I know this because I definitely have a problem with pms myself. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older. The best way I can say to deal with it is to try out a couple of ideas and see if one works. What works for me is evening primrose oil and st johns wort. I pop a couple of those babies each night before bed in the week leading up to and during my 'pms period' and everything is much calmer. It also helps that my SO is understanding and usually comes home bearing magnitudes of chocolate and take-away so I don't have to worry about cooking etc.

It's a small price to pay for domestic harmony from his perspective, and from my perspective, when it's all over, it just gives me another reason to love him just that little bit more.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go in another 20 days or so.

I've been bringing home food a lot lately, YUM!
I've been working nights since Easter weekend, I think part of the whole package is that she misses me in the eveing whe she has nobody to help with the bedtime routine with the kids.
Still though - PMS or not - when you hear the words "this ain't working out, maybe we need to separate" doesn't sit well no-matter what's going on behind it.

PMS ? Nonsense . Just an excuse for bad behaviour . Imagine if high testosterone levels were used as an argument to exonerate a man guilty of rape .

Both men and women have minds and bodies . Being civilized involves knowing how to control one's body .

Exactly, when my wife is having trouble with her hormones and acts out and I call her on it, she owns it.
S-all you have to do. Ain't hard.
& she knows about hormone troubles having had a pituitary tumor. Talk about nuts! We dealt with it together, not just me putting up with it.

It is more important to be polite to those closest to you, those easiest to take for granted, than anyone else.

On this point we disagree.

Sometimes what's happening in ones body isn't in our control.

I agree with Buddug. I'm in control over my mind and body, just as much as I am in control of the things that come out of my mouth. PMS will never be an excuse for me to be "crazy" even if I may feel crazy inside. I can still control myself.
