Worried mom as son wants to be daughter

Mrs. Preeti: Hi Diya, how are you doing?

Mrs. Diya: Hi Preeti, I am good. How about you?

Mrs. Preeti: I am doing well too. I wanted to talk to you about something that has been bothering me for some time now.

Mrs. Diya: Sure, what's the matter?

Mrs. Preeti: Well, you know my son has been asking me if he can grow his hair long and wear a saree like me. I am not sure what to do.

Mrs. Diya: Oh, I see. Well, I don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, I think it's a great idea to let your son express himself in any way he wants to.

Mrs. Preeti: But what will people think? Our society is not very accepting of such things.

Mrs. Diya: I understand your concerns, but I think it's important to let our children be who they are. If your son wants to grow his hair long and wear a saree, why not let him do it? It's not hurting anyone.

Mrs. Preeti: I guess you are right. But what about his friends? They might make fun of him.

Mrs. Diya: Kids can be cruel sometimes, but I think it's important for us to teach our children to be confident in who they are, no matter what others might say. If your son is happy and comfortable in his own skin, that's all that matters.

Mrs. Preeti: That's true. But what if he wants to be a daughter of the house? That's not something that our society will accept.

Mrs. Diya: Again, I think it's important to let our children be who they are. If your son identifies as a girl, why not let him express himself that way? It's not hurting anyone, and it's important for us to support our children in their journey of self-discovery.

Mrs. Preeti: I never thought of it that way. You are right. I should let my son be who he wants to be. But dont know how

Mrs. Diya: Of course, Preeti. And I'm here to support you every step of the way. If your son wants to wear a saree and grow his hair long, you can help him pick out a saree and show him how to drape it properly. You can also teach him how to braid his hair and style it in different ways.

Mrs. Preeti: I don't know anything about saree draping or hairstyling. Can you help me with that?

Mrs. Diya: Absolutely. I have been wearing sarees for years, and I can show you different draping styles that will suit your son. And for hairstyling, we can go to a salon and ask them to show us how to braid hair properly.

Mrs. Preeti: That's a great idea. I'm so glad you're here to help me.

Mrs. Diya: And when it comes to making him feel like a daughter of the house, it's important to treat him the same way you would treat a daughter. Include him in household activities like cooking, cleaning, and other chores. Encourage him to express himself and his emotions freely, without any judgment.

Mrs. Preeti: That's a good point. I'll try my best to make him feel loved and accepted.

Mrs. Diya: That's all we can do as parents, Preeti. Love and accept our children for who they are, and support them in their journey of self-discovery. I'm sure your son will appreciate your support and love.

Mrs. Diya: Exactly. We should never try to suppress our children's natural tendencies or desires just because of societal norms. We need to support them and let them grow into the person they want to be.

Mrs. Preeti: Thank you so much, Diya. You have given me a lot to think about.

Mrs. Diya: You're welcome, Preeti. I'm glad I could help. Remember, always support your child in whatever they choose to do. They will appreciate it in the long run.
