Fun

Hello Nicholeen, You have been answering some questions about our 15 year old daughter who says she’s trans. Tonight for the second time she broke down and said how sad she is and that we never have any fun. She said the only thing she enjoys is watching rom com movies. The first time she said she feels that she is not allowed to do anything and is always being watched.

Since she first said this, I’ve been making sure she has regular time with friends. Lately our family times together have been going places. They haven’t been epic, but are fun. She wants to do something fun many nights per week. We have listened to many books together, but she says she hates that. If we listen to a book that’s not a classic, but not completely twaddle she does seem to enjoy it. She says she hates cards and board games.

I’m planning some field trips, and we’re going to be doing projects together once a week as you suggested earlier.

She is very good at several things and has enjoyed them. She an excellent cook and baker, and is learning to draw well. She just started her own garden plot. She just starred in a local production of a play and has an amazing singing voice. She also lives to read on her own.

Do you have any advice?

Thank you.
