A) PMS is a problem for a lot of women, but sometimes it's worse in the beginning. She might outgrow it.

C) That must be hard on you, especially because you are raising her by yourself.
D) That doesn't make being a woman sound very good. It would probably be easier for her if you could be more supportive.
