Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
One of my good dancer friends told me something the other day and i was totally in shock about it... Appparently the house mom doesn't like me bc I dont tip her enough.... I always give five, or more when i can do it.... Why should i give someone who really doesn't do all that much, money that i have earned myself???fuck that..... i just thought it was fucked up....

Meh, its just gossip and drama. Ignore your friend and keep doing what you are doing. Does the housemom offer you something special? Do you use her spray, wipes, etc, on a regular basis? Does she help you w hair and makeup? Does she feed you? Does she listen to you when you have troubles?
In my experience, some housemoms took care of some or all of the above, while others did nothing. I almost never used anything from the housemoms, so $5 should be ample.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
Eh..... I have the same issue where I work. Our housemom literally sits there and watches DVDs. She's supposed to keep the board, clean, and bring in stuff for us to use. She brings in stuff and I might use 3 babywipes a night and a couple of mints. And it's required that I give her $8 a night. Which I think is a load of crap. If I don't do my job, I don't get paid so why should she. But she constantly complains that I only tip her $8 along with a couple of other girls even on nights when we make $1000.
I was up there one night when she was going on about. I marched right over there and said,
"You knew how much you were getting paid when you started. If you want to make more, be a stripper or a waitress, but I don't think $8 per girl is that bad to watch a DVD all night. Oh....... and if you cut down on the coke, you could probably save some of your money."
Then I turned around and walked off. She hasn't said anything since. And she may night like me, but I don't really care. She makes me no money, so whatever.

then $5 is fine. i feel the same way. it's my money i had to earn it, plus she's getting hourly you aren't. i'll tip what's mandatory, if the club has a mandatory tip out and then i'm done. complain all you want. i had to earn so i'm gonna keep as much as i can.

^^House moms don't get hourly at most places.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
Ours doesn't. But by time she gets $8 from 20 girls, and many of them give her atleast $10. That's $160 for sitting there and watching a DVD. Now if she would do her job and clean or keep a board, I wouldn't have a problem giving her extra. But our dressing room is gross and at most she vacuums every 3-4 days and wipes off the mirrors probably every other day.

We used to have a make-up artist like that. He demanded $20 when he did your hair/make-up. I think his price was $12 for both, though. If you tipped him shittily, he loathed you. I think it's a bunch of crap. Definitely stick to your gun, Kamryn. Tip her what you do and pay her no mind.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
our house mom is really sweet and she always takes good care of us, so i try to tip her decently even though i don't use much of her stuff at all. usually $10-20 depending on how i do that night. but $5 of that is mandatory. so if there's 40 girls checking in or out during her shift, which is pretty usual, she's making a bare minimum of $200. there are plenty of girls who don't walk out with that much on an average night and her shift is only 5 or 6 hours. i always try to keep that in mind when i tip out.
anyway, if you don't use her stuff and she doesn't help you out in any siginificant way, $5 seems like plenty to me. i wouldn't worry about the rumors unless she has the ability to mess with your money And you believe she actually would.

Dude, there is a housemom who comes to my club like 1x per week. She doesnt' do anything except peddle her dancer clothes. She has a crockpot of (lord knows what's in there) of food.
I dont tip her anything because she doesn't do anything for me. Doesn't speak to me, doesn't ask how my night is. The only thing I've ever bought from here were a pair of thongs and a garter.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
I'm torn these days on how much to tip our house mom. I love her as a person and I know she has been going through some serious personal stuff, but lately she doesn't even bring snacks, and that's all I ever took from her to begin with. Part of me thinks it is because she's under the gun financially and doesn't have the money, but it wouldn't be that hard to buy a few little things here and there for us to chew on. I must have snacks at work or I will die.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
What a bitch! $5 is enough....especially if you barely utilize her services! >:( I would talk to her. I confronted my old housemom once because she was telling the other girls how much I was making at the end of the night when she would put our money away in envelopes for us. Didn't have a problem with her after that. Now I don't let anybody hold my money. Glad I don't have to worry about that drama at my new club...we don't have a housemom.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
I always tip out house moms' more vs men managers cause I find women to be catty and obnoxious, so I kiss their ass. Thats unprofessional of her to tell another dancer she doesn't like you. See... catty and obnoxious!

Wait, you tip out your managers?:O

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
I've worked in quite a few clubs where you tipped out your manager, including one of the clubs I work at now.
I always tip the housemom the bare minimum...and nothing if theres no minimum. Sorry..but I use nothing of theirs. Not one baby wipe, not one squirt of hairspray, not one snack. I bring my own stuff. And I dont spend time in the dressing room talking to them either. Esp since most of the housemoms I've worked with spent all their time watching tv, on their phone, or otherwise doing nothing for the girls. Unless you are tipping her or buying her clothes...she wants nothing to do with you. And I'm paying for that ........why?
If theres no house mom it makes no differance to me....and I'm not giving up my hard earned money to someone who does nothing for me. Bouncers, bartenders, even managers...I absolutely tip and tip well. Thats paid of for me big time by them handing me big spending custies on a silver platter. The housemom isnt getting me custies ot tips, or in any way helping me. So no. Dont feel bad if you are inthe same situation. So she doesnt like you...BFD...do you like her? Prob not. Does it matter if you like each other. Not even a little bit.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
Fortunately I've mostly worked in places that don't require a housemom tipout. If I did borrow something like a wipe or a q-tip, I would throw a dollar into their tipjar as I borrowed it. That seems fair enough to me, its not like either of those things are even worth the dollar, but its a service charge I understand.

Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
and its especially ridiculous when i hear of other girls talking about how they usually tip her 10-20 a night!!! i could easily afford to do it, but its like what the hell is the point of freely throwing it away...
-
Re: Apprently I don't th row my hard earned money at the HOuse MOm
Finally!!! I can't stand to throw my $ away like that. I'm the one out there taking my clothes off, having to dance on all those damn stages, and hustle my ass off! Housemom better not complain w/ a $5 tip out! Esp if you run 50+ girls (hell some clubs run 100+ a night) that's a hell of a lot of money for sitting on your ass and not taking your clothes off, must be nice;) . I never use any of the Housemom's shit, always bring my own! And I NEVER left her hold my $$$...no one's business what I make a night, esp. a Housemom!:P

I completely agree- I am exactly the same way, except when I do use the housemom's services I am VERY generous (IMHO- $5 for a water cup? That is one expensive cup!!!) I used to give a housemom $5-$10 every night and then I heard her spreading a rumor about me with one of the managers while I was in the bathroom so I stopped tipping the housemom altogether.
