Numerous reasons...
I have a genetic blood disorder and I need to know these things. If my mom had been a little more vigilant with mine, I would not have bled for 31 days straight and ended up in the hospital for severe anemia at the ripe old age of 11.
The cause was not discovered then either. I nearly bled to death in birthing my oldest. It was years later that they discovered the reason for it.
One of my daughters has tested negative for the same disorder, the other will be tested when she gets her periods on a regular basis.
The next reason is convenience. Each of the girls have their preferred "products" and I need to know who needs what and when so there is not a HUGE fight over why there isn't any of this or that.
Next reason, both girls are very active in sports and other extra cirricular activities. Being on the go and getting caught without is never fun. I make sure they are prepared.
Lastly, one of the girls is horribly hormonal. Towns have a warning siren before a tornado hits right? I need a warning for our little hormonal hurricane.
They don't care that I keep track and understand why I do. No biggee to them.
