Not really my kind of story, but extremely well crafted and presented.

The ending really is left open to interpretation (did i spell that right? :S ) as is the characters motivation. If he's really doing this just to stay a girl longer, then I have to say bravo to him, if he really does hate it, then perhaps he needs to find a way to actually say it. At any rate, great story; I loved reading it ^^

Bad story, I didn't like.
Silvia.

I agree with most of the posters that this is a very well written story.

I would love to read about the rest of the weekend, but perhaps, as suggested by Pervette, it is better left as it is.  The mystery you left enables my imagination to conjure the ideal finish for me.

The characters are well developed and the pace of the story is just right.  Please write some more.  You have a talent that should not remain hidden.

I just read this again after four years and I stand by my earlier comments.  We don't know at the ending whether Robin's overt attitude and behavior of "I absolutely hate this" is real or just an act, and we don't know auntie's real motivation in suggesting her plan.  If Robin sicerely hates his situation, I think his best bet is to refuse his aunt's help and deliberately choose a second weekend, but keeping up his sullen compliance.  On the other hand, what if he tells mom that and she's pissed and decides to escalate things?  Maybe Robin's REAL best bet is to slip away in the middle of the night.

the story and reaction of his mothers freind is a good site a lesson learned in full your writin is very good please write more

Where did you go?  I hope a talent like this is not to be a one timer.  So many write one or two then disappear. Don't let it be you.

Wonderful, sweet story! Thank you for sharing it om this site, but I can't help but wonder what happens next? You led us to the point where we all wish we could be, or could have been and then left us hanging. Robin may find out he likes beinmg a girl and would be allowed to dress that way for as long as wanted. Even if he does not it sure would be fun to read how he would do being the best girls ever for two days.

Thank you Nancy.  What a great story.  I found it intriguing.  However, the real story is what happens now.  I mean, does Robin really want to be a "sissy"...  Will his mother really do the counseling thing?  If so, what will the counselor suggest?  Ah... so many unanswered questions.  But then you obviously know you should always leave them wanting more.  ;o)

I did love the fact that Mom questioned her own motives while perceiving that perhaps Robin had set himself up.  At least she professes to what what's best for the child.  (boy/girl)  How many such stories have the protagonist totally involved in what they want without regard to the hero/ine's feeling, what's or needs.  

Don't rest on your laurels... crank out another one.  Pulleesse, pretty please with sugar on top?  ;o)

  Thank you ever so much for writing this wonderful story.  The
"flavor" is reminiscent of another beautiful story about a mother
and son, Cathi King's "The Flower Girl".  What I especially
enjoyed was the was information was doled out such that the
reader's appraisal of the situation had to keep changing.  Then
too, here was just enough left unsaid that it was possible for
the readers to come up with diverse interpretations of Denise's
role and motivation in becoming Robin's tutor.

  Although it could stand a little proof-reading, it's a definite
"keeper".

  May your muse bless you with many more stories of this quality.

Very good story. The concern of the mother and her friend aren't often found in this type of story. It is a nice change. The writing is good with only two or three minor spots. The descriptions could be a bit more but the character developement is above average.

I would like to see more of Nancy's writing. A sequel would be nice but must be the writers choice.

Thank you Nancy

Where have you been?  How could someone with all your talent take so long to write a story for this site?  Do you have stories posted on other sites?  Are you a professional writer?  Do you write under other psuedonyms?

Marvelous story.  Examines the motives of the domineering mother, the enabling friend and the willing punishee.

Who else will become part of this game?  The humiliated girl.  The teacher?  

Will the humiliation turn into exquisute pleasure.

Normally I find stories about the forced feminization of children to be disconcerting.  This story seems to break through the taboo.

I disagree with those calling for the story to stand pat.  You have created three wonderful characters that could blossom.  Your story seems based in love and warmth.

Write again!  Soon!

Nancy, this is a rare tale, the feminizing women themselves ambivalent, professing decent intentions at least in their own minds, yet self-aware, earnestly caring yet alert enough to their own competitive gameplaying to warn the reader to read closely.  Then as Denise gives Robin that last advice, we can see she's easing Robin's sense of punishment yet opening him fully to his femininity if any, his mother's deep desires for him, collaborating with her friend as promised and ironically, digging him -- perhaps -- into a hole he can never emerge from.  Nor may not want to emerge from. Quietly understated.  That it's also carefully written in rhythm, pace, and detail adds to the pleasure.  Thanks!  

A stunning achievement. The mixed motives, the possibility of
covert, unacknowledged acceptance beneath apparent reluctance, the
exploration of the mother's uncertain motives as well as the boy's
...all this is so rare in stories of this sort.  And the ending is
perfect.  I suppose someone will want you to continue the story,
to tell us what happens to the boy when the two women work on him.
Don't do it.  The uncertain ending is one of the story's great
strengths.  Altogether well above the usual calibre of story here
--& the usual caliber is mighty high, believe me.

Great job, Nancy!  This is one of the better stories I've read, really intiguing.  It sounds like Denise is giving Robin good advice to get out of his predicerment, OR does she really wants to be "Auntie Denise" to a pretty niece, as what she has talked Robin into is exactly what will convince his "mommy" that he wants to be she.  What happens depends on what Denise says next to Phyllis when Robin isn't around, so I really would like a sequel or maybe two sequels, alternate endings.  Also please write more stories like this!
