Daughter helped and offered help!!!

[Lana Mae]

I switched out earrings today and could not after many attempts get the backing on the left one! So I asked my daughter to help and she did! I was in male mode! She said to me, "If you are ever going out dressed and need a zipper pulled up or anything let me know. I just don't want you sitting around the house dressed." Is that acceptance and incentive for going out dressed? Hugs Lana Mae

[Tracii G]

Sounds like she has come around doesn't it?

[MindiB]

Yes it's the greatest. I have two awesome Daughters that took me out for a girls night out.

[Rayleen]

Lana, that is great to have your daughter help you, great security for you.

My daughter is only 3, but that does sound like a fun possibility for the future. Sounds like you have a great kid there.

[Lana Mae]

Tracii-More than before for sure! LOL
Mindi-She is not quite that far but is improving! From doesn't want to see daddy in a dress to this! YES!
Rayleen-It is wonderful!
Victoria-She is 36! She is living in daddies house!
Thanks for your responses!

Lana that is good news. Wishing you the best as your relationship with your daughters acceptance continues to get better.

[kimdl93]

I’d take it as both greater acceptance and encouragement

Of course id also explore what sitting around the house ‘dressed’ means. Obviously you wear clothes at home, and earrings, nail polish...so it would be interesting to learn where your daughters issues begin... breast forms? Make up, a wig, a dress or some combination thereof.

[Sami Brown]

Lana Mae, this is wonderful news! I take it as encouragement to go out dressed. Is she willing to go with you yet?

Your lucky to have such a sweet daughter hope you enjoy time together paula123

[Teresa]

Lana,
She is coming round , you know the score , don't rush things .

Her comment sounds very much like the one my wife made about wearing a nightie in bed , it's OK if it helps you sleep better but don't flaunt it !

[Laura912]

Good for you two. Agree with Kim about seeking a little more definition of what she would be comfortable with around the house.

[alwayshave]

Lana, Sounds like acceptance to me. You are a lucky girl.

[Lana Mae]

Jaylyn-Thanks! It is interesting how it is growing!
Kim-Funny you should suggest that as after talking a little it seems she is afraid that i am going to turn all girly and giggly or something! I told her it is still me just the clothes are changing! I did not get a real reply to that! Yes, encouragement and acceptance! Oh, yeah!
Sami-Yes she actually encouraged me to go out, but she is not the going out type! If this develops a little further I might get her to go out for a meal but that would be a bout as far as it would go! No shopping etc.
Paula-I have to be daddy in our times together unless it is her zipping a zipper or putting a backing on an earring. She has seen me dressed once in real life when I stumbled in the door after going to the mall! Otherwise she basically does not want to see daddy in a dress!
Teresa-She really seems most hung up on mannerisms! Like I am going to be some brainless hussy! LOL I really should just sit her down and we have a regular discussion session but I was waiting for a few more of my counseling sessions to see where I am going first!
Laura-Thanks! Please see my response to Teresa!
Jamie-Yes I am truly blessed!
Thanks everyone for your responses!

[kimdl93]

I understand her fears. So, its not about the clothes per se, but mannerisms. I don't suppose you're any more likely to effect a valley-girl mannerism than I am, and I would guess that perhaps you do have some feminine mannerism that bleed through when you're en drab. Not sure what to do with that, except, perhaps to invite her out to dinner!

[Lana Mae]

Kim, she is very aware of my "normal" (male mode) feminine mannerisms and really does not object, I guess she thinks they will get worse or something! LOL Hugs Lana Mae

[karrin]

good for you Lana, that acceptance is comforting for sure. be safe. Karrin

[somestimeskaren]

Lana my daughter is 38 and I've been thinking of introducing her to my femme side .I'd love to share this side of me and get her help.You are very lucky to have someone to share this side of you.

[Amy Lynn3]

Lana, you know what they always say. The relationship between a "Father and Daughter" are very special. That really rings true in your relationship with your daughter. May you both continue to grow in this relationship.: hugs:

[Lana Mae]

Karrin-Thanks! Very comforting!
SometimesKaren-My daughter is 36 and lives with me so... I had to tell her if we were going to live in the same house! Best wishes for when you tell your daughter!
Amy-Thanks so much! Yes we do have a special relationship!
Thanks for your responses!

[Krea]

Hi Lana Mae, it's great that your daughter is happy to help you. It sounds like a good sign of progress.

[Beverley Sims]

I think that's a great acceptance from a daughter.

[Lana Mae]

Nic-Yes, I think we are progressing quite well!
Beverly-Yes, and acceptance feels so good!
Thanks for your responses!
