Sometimes parents with a tomboyish daughter or a feminine son will be upset at their child not conforming to gender roles. It's usually the parent of the same sex as the child that gets more agitated. They will often cry, "Why Couldn't You Be Different?"
It's common for the father to try to "man up" his son by putting him on a sports team or taking him hunting, while a mother will try to get her daughter to wear more dresses or take up "feminine" interests like cooking or sewing. Any attempts to change their kids' behavior will usually fail spectacularly. In the worst cases, the parent's disapproval of gender nonconformity can result in Honor-Related Abuse.
This may be experienced by a Jock Dad, Nerd Son or a Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter pair, and is typically the cause of a "Gender-Normative Parent" Plot. Contrast You Go, Girl!, where the parents are generally neutral to supportive. Can lead to Trans Tribulations for transgender/non-binary children, or Intersex Tribulations for intersex children, and often also overlaps with various kinds of homophobia on the parents' part, whether the child is actually homosexual (or bisexual) or not. Raised as the Opposite Gender is an inversion that occurs when parents want their child to live as the opposite gender; compare Wanted a Son Instead.
Parents who humor or even encourage their children's eccentric interests may instead be Exceptionally Tolerant, depending on how unusual this would be in the context of the story. This trope is a subcategory of Heteronormative Crusader.
Sadly, this trope is Truth in Television, and can be often a sensitive topic for those involved.

Prey: A mild case, but Aruka doesn't understand why her daughter Naru is so set on being a hunter, rather than stay a medicine woman like her. Naru just insists that it's her calling. She doesn't seem really opposed so much as worried about Naru because of her goal, which puts her in danger.

Yellow Brick Ramble: In this comic adaptation of The Marvelous Land of Oz, Ozma is a trans girl who openly fantasizes about becoming a girl, a fact her mother Mombi strongly disapproves of. Mombi mentions having destroyed Ozma's "costumes" in the past and suggests that Ozma's long hair is giving her "silly ideas" about gender. Mombi decides that giving her a haircut would fix everything, but Ozma runs away before she can do the deed.

Ranma ½: Genma is always berating Ranma for not being man enough, take it like a man, man up, etc. He signed a contract to his wife Nodoka promising to raise Ranma to be a "man among men" or they would both commit seppuku. Nodoka's ready to enforce it at a moment's notice for things like "seeing her son wearing a dress".

The Princess: The king is initially perturbed by his daughter the princess being taught how to fight without him knowing and her wish to become a knight rather than married off to a prince. After she rescues him and her mother from said prince though he sees the error of his ways, not only declaring that from here on princesses can choose their own path but making her his heir (whereas previously he'd lamented not having a son to succeed him).

Hana Isuzu is the gunner aboard a Panzer IV tank in Girls und Panzer. However, when her mother learns that Hana is taking tankery in school, she faints. Later, in the Isuzu home, Lady Isuzu demands that her daughter withdraw from tankery, and instead focus on the feminine art of flower arranging. When Hana refuses to abandon tankery, her mother expels Hana from the Isuzu home, although they reconcile later after Hana puts on a tankery-inspired flower arrangement display. It should be noted that tankery is a feminine pursuit in the series universe, but Hana's rather traditional mother doesn't think much of it.

In Umineko: When They Cry, Natsuhi often wishes that her daughter Jessica would act more refined and ladylike, especially since she's next in line for the family headship after her father. While Jessica does have a girly and romantic side, she's generally very feisty, rebellious and tends to use boyish speech patterns.

In The Simpsons episode "Homer's Phobia", Homer becomes concerned that Bart is imitating the Camp Gay mannerisms of local store owner John (played by John Waters) and tries to keep him from "turning gay." His attempts backfire spectacularly, as usual (a trip to a steel plant turns out to be full of homosexuals, and even doubles as a nightclub), ending with a disastrous hunting trip from which they have to saved by John. In the end, Homer decides to support Bart no matter if he's gay or not, while Bart had no idea that's what the whole thing was about.

Gris's father in Something*Positive is not happy that Gris is nonbinary, attracted to women, and into wrestling. (Although that last one might just be because he has a bad opinion of wrestling in general.) Gris points out the hypocrisy that, ever since he learned this, he's suddenly gone from banning them from having boys over to encouraging it. Gris eventually moves in with their friend Rory and his mother, after a conversation in which Rory's mom has to keep correcting Gris's father's use of gendered words.

Guilty Gear: Bridget was born male along with her twin brother, but due to her village's superstition about same-sex twins, her parents raise her as a girl to keep her secret. However, they felt guilty about it and wished she could could live as a man, which motivates Bridget to take up bounty hunting to disprove the village superstition. This becomes a problem for her later when being treated as a man triggers her dysphoria.

Sora from Digimon Adventure likes playing soccer while her mom would rather have her arrange flowers. To be fair, Sora's mother is the grand master of an ikebana school, the Japanese art of flower arrangement, which still has a higher ratio of male to female grand masters. Sora's mom worries less about soccer's masculine image and more about Sora not being particularly interested in taking up the art, which creates a problem since Sora is her heir to the grand master position. Ironically, despite making peace with her mother and taking up ikebana, Sora ends up becoming a fashion designer as an adult, and it is made clear in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna that she still doesn't particularly want to become the grand master of the Takenouchi school. Even though the fate of the chain of succession is up in the air, Sora did learn to truly enjoy ikebana and incorporates Japanese themes in the clothes she designs.

Riot from Jem is not actually effeminate however his father loathes his interest in music. According to his dad, only "women and sissies" are musicians. His mother tried to support his natural talent though. As an adult, Riot joined the military like his father; however, in Germany, he split up and became a part of a rock band. When he came home, he was given a dishonorable discharge due to leaving the army without permission. His father disowned him and literally quoted I Have No Son!.

In Matador (1978), the no-nonsense businessman, Mads Skjern, sees his biological son, Daniel, as being too nervous, emotional and creative for his own good, and treats him with coldness and distance, and even outright emotional abusiveness at times. Mads even eventually declares that I Have No Son!, when it turns out Daniel is homosexual. Ironically, Mads greatly favors his adoptive daughter, Ellen, because she is a diligent student and, much like himself, has an ambitious, independent, and driven personality.

In Fire Emblem Fates, Leo finds his son Forrest's habit of cross-dressing to be distasteful, which causes a big fight between the two. Thankfully, Leo comes around by the end of Forrest's recruitment chapter thanks to his own Heel Realization and Forrest's refusal to roll over and apologize for who he is. The two get along much better after that.

Bend It Like Beckham has both of the female leads' mothers (Mrs. Bhamra and Paula Paxton) wanting basically the same thing: for their daughters (Jess Bhamra and Jules Paxton) to give up football and start acting like their idea of girls. Jules openly defies her mother with her father's support, while Jess sneaks around behind her parents' backs after they forbid her to play. Paula eventually comes around, as does Mrs. Bhamra when Mr. Bhamra sees how happy Jess is when she's playing and gets up the nerve to stand up to his wife.

Nekomiya Miya's father from Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight! is a twofold example: Not only does he deadname his trans daughter and act like she's just going through a phase even though he's paying for her HRT and counseling, but he also thinks that if she's going to be a woman she should be a "normal" woman instead of a gravure model.

Oliver Button Is a Sissy: Oliver's father seems to be ashamed of the fact that the boy is In Touch with His Feminine Side, as he tells him that he shouldn't be a "sissy" and that he ought to play sports. In the end, though, he supports his son's decision to attend dancing school, and is genuinely proud of his performance at the talent show.

Lao and Poppy Beifong in Avatar: The Last Airbender thought they had raised a delicate, demure flower of a daughter and cannot seem to accept that Toph is actually a snarky, mouthy tomboy who enjoys fighting men twice her size. Their inability to see her as she truly is ends up being a factor in Toph becoming The Runaway. By the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift, Lao Beifong has made a point to start appreciating Toph for who she is rather than what he envisioned/wanted her to be.

In I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry, Larry, a firefighter who loves sports spends most of the movie trying, and failing, to get his Ambiguously Gay ten year old son, Eric, interested in "manly pursuits" like sports, but Eric shows a strong affinity towards dance and Broadway musicals, to the dissapointment of Larry. Though by the end of the movie, Larry does start to accept his son for who he is.

Kris Longknife: Kris's mother Brenda Longknife actually tried to drug her into behaving like a "proper" girl, and didn't like her Great-Grandfather "Trouble" Tordon taking her out orbital skiff-racing and regaling her with war stories, which led Kris to join the Navy after university. Even in the first book, when Kris is awarded the Navy Cross for her actions during a hostage rescue, Brenda says something along the lines of "there, you've got your bauble, now it's time to come home, and wouldn't that medal look good with some gratuitous gemstones on it?" She finally seems to wise up after Kris goes on two more high risk missions and comes home from the second legally unable to talk about how she came by Earth's highest award for valor.

Withen Ashkevron in the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy had a firstborn son, Vanyel, who pretty much came out of the nursery looking and acting more like a girl, and quite uninterested in masculine pursuits other than horseback riding. Withen's wife Treesa encouraged Van's love of nice clothes and music, which Withen tried to berate out of him and had a hireling try to beat him straight. Over about twenty years of Character Development Withen becomes first more tolerant, then accepting and outright supportive, but up through Van's teens he was outright abusive. He also had some trouble with his eldest daughter Lissa, who was a Tomboy as a child and grew up to be an Action Girl, but less than Van; she wasn't the heir and could be fostered out, and it's noted that one Ashkevron girl in every generation takes after the menfolk anyway. Withen is bursting with pride the one time his grown daughter was shown visiting as a Captain of the Guard.

Glee:
Kurt's father (Burt) wants him to join the football team because he thinks that's the only way boys can be happy, and bribed him with a car to stop wearing form-fitting sweaters that end at the knee — Kurt still wears the sweaters (including when he tells the club how he got the car), and does enjoy football for all of the one game he plays. However, Burt is fine with Kurt being "one of the girls" occasionally and does these things because he wanted Kurt to come out to him and so that Kurt would not act deliberately more feminine to provoke homophobes.
Blaine's dad made him rebuild cars for a summer in hopes it would make him less gay.
Obversely, Santana's mom makes it a point that they thought it was entertaining when she dressed and acted like a boy and don't know when she got so girly.
Unique's parents refuse to let her perform in public presenting as a female, saying that their son can play dress up where and when they and the public can't see.

Abigail the mouse from Once Upon a Forest is sitting high in a tree when her father calls for her. She climbs down quickly enough that she's able to surprise her father. He reminds her that it's almost time for school, and remarks that her teacher has gotten her to stop climbing trees. "Yes, daddy," Abigail chirps, content to leave her father's delusion intact.

Jimmy Pesto from Bob's Burgers has practically disowned his eldest son, Jimmy Jr., because of his interest in dancing, and it's clear that Jimmy Jr. holds quite a bit of resentment over it. It's one of the many things that contrasts Jimmy Pesto with his rival Bob—Bob's own son Gene is also interested in the arts (specifically music), yet Bob rarely if ever tries to mold Gene into a more sports-oriented child and is seen at multiple points being genuinely proud of his son's musical talents.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
Samwell Tarly's father disowns him and sends him off to the Wall for being insufficiently manly.
Lord Selwyn Tarth, Brienne's father, tried to shoehorn her into a feminine gender role by arranging her marriage to someone who would force her to act like a proper woman. Brienne gave this someone a beating and some broken bones. Since then, Lord Selwyn seemed to accept his daughter as legitimately different.
Ned and Catelyn Stark are a Lighter and Softer version this in regards to their younger daughter Arya, a Hot-Blooded Tomboy. Ned makes it clear that he expects her to be a proper wife and mother when she grows up, but for now, he keeps her on a pretty loose leash. He even indulges her in sword-fighting lessons but thinks it's only a hobby she'll eventually grow bored of. Catelyn is exasperated with Arya's behavior, but it's because she sincerely believes that a Princess Classic is the greatest thing that a girl can aspire to be and wants what's best for her daughter. But Catelyn still adores Arya despite her disregard for the expectations society has for her.

In Sanctuary, Holly's Abusive Parents enforced extremely strict gender roles on her and her brothers. Eventually she couldn't take it anymore, so she ran away and now lives in Casswell Park. She still goes to school, and she has friends who know about her living situation, so her parents could presumably track her down if they wanted, but they never do.

Jesse from Bridge to Terabithia is seen as odd by most in his 1970s town because he enjoys drawing, with only his friend Leslie and his hippie music teacher supporting it. His parents both dislike his hobby and his mom worries that he's gay because he only hangs out with a girl. The 2007 Setting Update film removed these elements due to Values Dissonance.

El Goonish Shive: Tedd's father finds it rather unsettling that Tedd recreationally uses the Gender Bender properties of the TF Gun to spend time in female forms on occasion. As far as the father knows, it's just an odd pastime, but it causes Trans Tribulations with Tedd's realization that he's genderfluid and sometimes identifies as female. Mr. Verres eventually becomes more accepting, although Tedd, who still hasn't actually come out to him, isn't sure why.

The Harvest Moon fanfic "His Blossoming Trail" gives Cam a backstory in which his love of gardening and the colour pink causes conflict between him and his father, who has very strict ideas about traditional gender roles. Cam is forbidden to have or do anything not stereotypically masculine on the grounds that it will "make him gay" and, when he joins his school's gardening club, he has to keep it secret from his parents. (Though his mother is supportive, she is unable to stand up to his father.) Only when Cam leaves home is he finally able to be who he truly is.

In Twelve Forever, Reggie Abbott's mother, Judy, loved feminine things when she was younger; as a result, she genuinely doesn't understand why her Tomboy daughter doesn't have any interest in the same things. Unfortunately, this means that any attempts by Judy to get Reggie to enjoy more feminine activities just serves to cause tension between the two. The fact that Judy is a divorcee struggling to raise two children and dealing with financial difficulties does not help the situation.

Andre from Blackish doesn't like his son playing a "girl's sport" like field hockey. When he asks a male co-worker if he wanted to be in the same sports team as his dad in high school he tells him that he was, and his dad was a great field hockey player.

Friends: Ross Geller has been both the child and the parent side of this trope. Several episodes have established that Jack Geller didn't approve of his son's nerdier interests and his owning a "clown kit" which was actually just a makeup kit. When Ross' own son picks out a Barbie to play with Ross spends the episode trying to persuade Ben to give up the doll and play with "boy" toys like G.I. Joe or monster trucks. At the end of the episode Monica calls Ross out by reminding him that he used to play with dolls when they were kids.

Eleanor & Park: Jamie towards Park. Jamie is a traditionally masculine man and has tried to get Park interested in more stereotypically masculine interests but to no avail. When Park decides to wear eyeliner to school, Jamie completely loses his cool.
