A positive reaction from the mom could be to join in the fun. Maybe she can bring some snacks and have a little picnic in the tree house with her son. She can also offer to help decorate it or make it more comfortable. This will not only encourage the son but also make him feel that his mom is really part of his special place.
The mom could show interest by asking questions about how he built it, what his plans are for it in the future. This will make the son feel valued.
She can praise his creativity and hard work right away.
The mom can encourage the son to discuss the stories with his dad directly. This helps in building a closer father - son relationship.

The story could be that there is a locked chest in the house. The mom and son are curious about what's inside. They search for the key everywhere. Eventually, they find it hidden in an old book. Inside the chest, they find a family heirloom with a note that tells a story about their ancestors.
One possible story could be about a mystery that unfolds between a mom and son in a house. Maybe there's a hidden room in the house that the son discovers and he and his mom try to figure out what it was used for in the past. It could be something related to the family's history, like an old attic filled with letters and photos from generations ago.
The mom could be shocked at first but then gently explain to the son that it's a private and natural but not something to be begged for. For instance, she might say that farts are a normal body function but not something we should play around with in this way. She could also use this as an opportunity to teach the son about good manners.
On the other hand, the son might try to adapt in a way to please his mom at first. But as time goes on, he will likely start to feel a great internal conflict. He might start to secretly explore his true identity while still pretending to be a girl for his mom. This could lead to a lot of secrecy and emotional turmoil within him as he tries to balance his true self and his mom's expectations.
The son might initially be very confused. He's a boy and being forced into a 'daughter' role is something completely alien to him. He may resist, not understanding why his mom wants him to do this.
The son might initially be very confused and resistant. He has his own sense of identity as a boy, and being forced to be a girl goes against that. He could try to rebel by doing more boy - like things in secret.
