Plus, with the play coming up, his daughter doesn’t want to wear any more “boy’s clothes” if she doesn’t have to. So, he decided to have a meeting with his daughter’s teacher to discuss both the bullying problems and the play.
But, before the meeting, Amy wound up asking if he would talk to the teacher about changing the part in the play to a “girl’s part.” Or at least allowing his daughter to wear a dress during the performance. And honestly, he did not think it was a good idea to ask Amy’s teacher to change her costume.
“Her teacher is going to think I’m some Karen who thinks his daughter should wear a dress because she is sick of pants,” he said.
“Plus, I think this is going to set a bad precedent. I can’t put my finger on it. I just know this is going to end badly.”
Nonetheless, his daughter has already claimed that if she is forced to stay in the play, then she wants to drop out of school. And since then, his sons have sided with Amy– claiming that he should at least try to get her costume changed to an outfit that is more feminine.
So now, he’s been left wondering whether asking his daughter’s teacher to change her costume in the school play would be a good idea or not.
Do you think it’s worth a shot talking to his daughter’s teacher if it will make Amy more comfortable? What else can he do to help his daughter navigate the bullying at school?
