I (17f) got my period this week. We are currently in obx for a family vacation with my moms side of the family. me and my mom drove down together and are sharing a house with my aunt, uncle, and younger cousin (he is 10 i’m pretty sure)

Anyways, i got my period this week, (lucky me on vacation 🙄) and have to share a bathroom with my cousin. he is pretty quiet and doesn’t talk much, which is fine, and i don’t push his boundaries. however, out of the blue yesterday, my aunt came storming up to me demanding i tell her why i have dirty tampons in the trash can. i was confused and told her that i’m on my period, why else would they be in the trash can (btw, i don’t just throw them away. i make sure to wrap them in toilet paper and tuck them at the bottom of the trash) and she got all pissy at me!

i was so confused and asked her what this was about, and she told me that my cousin was asking about the tampon wrappers in the trash (which are also under the rest of the trash)

i told her that him digging in the trash was none of business, and calmly explained that i wrap up my tampons carefully to make sure he doesn’t see them. again, i was so calm.

but she kept on yelling at me, telling me that his “precious innocent eyes” don’t need to see that. after about 10 minutes of me trying to calmly talk to her, i finally just yelled at her to suck it up and stop being such a bitch. she got really mad at me and is now not talking to me.

idk, was i wrong for having my tampon wrappers in the trash??? idk where else to put them 😭 AITA???

EDIT: i completely forgot to mention that my aunt is my cousins grandma! she’s like 65 i think 😭⁉️
