    Default so i told my grandad........

    what my job is an where i was on saterday, he was a bit awkward but then he said in a nasty tone 'so u went to college for nothing', which isnt true, i went to college to get quilifications for the future, i have thought it all through proper an im goin to continue college, but i felt really bad and the atmosphere was horrid, my dad told me to go upstairs, so i did, an i jus couldnt help burstin into tears in my room, my dad fought my side for me but grandad dint agree with it.

    ive ended up goin to my mums for the night, an i might do sum upliftin shoppin tomoz, i spoke to my dad over the phone and he had told my gran amd explained things, who to my complete surspise was totally fine with it, she was jus worried becoz of the things she had heard stereotyped about strippers, which we all know isnt true for us all (druggies, sex addicts, no quilifications etc)

    i told my grandad first coz i expected him to be more understandin and i thought my gran would be the one to be upset with it, well jus shows how wrong i was, anyway, i spose ide better go back home tomoz, the longer i leave it the more awkward ide feel talkin to them.

    i darnt say its full nude tho, anyhow enough blabbin now, jus needed to vent a lil, ty chicks an dolls

    that's a bummer, but at least it's now over with.

    that's really cool that your dad took your side. you're lucky for that.

    Keep your chin up........set and maintain clear cut goals for this business, and don't get caught up in the "negative aspects" of stripping.

    older people sometime just aren't as liberal. that sucks things went like that, tho, especially since you were thinking he wouldn't mind. and yeah, at least your dad took up for you. sometimes people just don't, and never will, get things....

    Its always difficult when it comes to a family member not supporting your decisions, because you really do care what they think. Just prove all of the negative stereotypes wrong that are associated with dancing. Don't get caught with drugs, skipping classes, etc... Thats about the best advice I can give at almost 1 in the morning... I know exactly how you feel though. Your a grown woman, and you have to stand up for what YOU believe in.

    I don't mean this to come off bitchy, I really don't... but why in the world would you tell your grandfather you were a stripper? Why would you tell any of your family? It's not like it's a permanent situation. Ideally, it's a temporary thing that funds getting you to the next phase of your life. It's not who you are. It's not like being gay and needing to tell your family that. It's just a job. Sometimes it's better if people don't know, especially older family.

    ^^^ My whole family knows, parents, siblings, kids.
    I'm sure she had her reasons for telling them.

    ^ I guess it's different for someone with kids, that requires a different level of honesty and responsibility as far as family goes. My childless unmarried self wishes my family DIDN'T know. Before I stopped speaking to my parents, they used it as leverage against me in everything. I know other girls with similar experiences.

    i told my parents aaaaages ago, to get support, which is what i got from them and still gettin from them now, i told my grandparents becoz i live with them and they always ask were im goin, i find it hard to lie to them, also my aunt knows and she has a tendancy to slip up alot lol, so i would ov had to tell them at sum point anyway, plus i thought it would be easier then tryin to sneak out with a huge bag of stripper outfits and essentials lol, i was going to say i jus worked bar, but becoz of the bag, i dont think they would of baught it, plus like i sed, i would prefer to be truthful with them,

    thanks everyone for your support, and your advise, i think my grandad will accept it, it coulda jus been the shock of it, im still surprised my gran was fine with it, i thought it would be the other way round lol

    thanks agen for ur support

    This is off the subject but I LOVE the way you write! You can read the accent in your writing. You might want to stress the practical side of strippin. Underscore the money and the great big security guys who protect you.

    Good luck.

    I have no idea how awkward this is for you.
    This might sound weird, but there's a big part of me that's relieved that all my grandparents are dead, like they didn't see me grow up and scare the crap out of them.

    I will never tell my parents, if I can help it.

    But my dad is messed up - I love him but really, I think he would be more shocked and hurt if I got a visible tattoo, or if I took home a black man/woman, or confessed that I'm queer.

    My mom would probably just shrug her shoulders and say, okay, sweetie, but you should really get that lasered off/I hope she/he's a doctor/give me grandchildren when you get a real job.
