AIBU to be pissed off that my very feminine dd is being asked yet again to play the part of an old man ? The last 3 shows she has played either an old woman, an old man and an evil old man ffs. She is heartbroken tonight and getting annoyed with me as I'm trying to explain to her that it's no reflection on her. Then she tells me that the teacher thinks it suits her best, silly cow. She is a very feminine girly girl so why on earth would they do this? I'm so mad with them as I feel it is psychologically damaging her in the same way giving a boy continuously a female lead would. She is the only one girl playing a male and all of the other parts are very feminine. The play is Grease by the way and there are plenty of boys to play male leads. She felt sure she was going to be a pink lady so you can imagine her shock. She couldn't keep the tears back and the teacher saw her crying but didn't change her part. She may sound like a prima Donna but she really isn't. Do I say something or does it sound overbearing?
