    Default my dad & stripping

    I told him back in April when I was in the car. This was his response:

    Dad: *stops car* I don't want to talk with you or have anything to do with you as long as you are doing that. You disgust me. Get out of the car.

    And we didn't talk for a few weeks and it took my grandmother almost dying and me wanting to know how she was doing for him to talk to me.

    Today, he actually casually brought up income tax and told me I should save the receipts for anything I buy that is stripping-related. Of course I already knew that, but I thought it was nice that it could be mentioned without shame.

    It made me happy

    Awww, I'm happy for you. I can't imagine even having the guts to tell my dad about me dancing.

    Dad probably has been to his share of strip clubs in his adult life, and he got thrown off guard for a bit.

    Glad that he has calmed down and accepts your choice of employment.

    i wish my dad was still alive. even if he hated my job. i miss him every day and have for 19 years.

    i'm glad you and yours are getting back on speaking terms.

    i'm jealous of the fact that you still have your daddy.

    I think that's a common dad response...they probably picture the most deplorable depraved thing they have have ever seen in a movie or in a strip club is happening to us and of course that upsets them.

    When I told my dad I was dancing bc I got sick of lying to him his response was, "So..you're on drugs?" It really hurt me and I was like, "no dad I'm not" but he was really stand offish for a month or so.

    Now we're fine...don't get me wrong, he doesnt ask me about work or anything but we have a tight relationship and it's been gravy.

    Glad all went well with your dad too.

    that's a big step for him. i'm happy for you.

    i couldn't tell my dad. i try to minimize his excuses for telling me to go to church and pray. it's gotten so fucking old. who needs an earthly father when you can have a heavenly father, after all?

    I actually reconnected with my Dad after 24 years of maybe talking once a year by telling him what I was doing..... I was going thru a divorce and after the "counselor" asked me if I thought that I was someone my dad would have hooked up with back when he cheated on my mom,,, I decided that I wasn't the wack job (the counselor WAS) and wanted to confide in someone who knew the religion etc I was brought up in and had been thru two divorces, I was alone and wanted someone in my family to know what I was doing for safety issues, but we ended up having the best conversation of our lives both of us crying profusely, He thought it was all his fault.

    So I think for Dad's it's their worst fear for their daughter, but after some time they realize that if you're smart and safe about it that it can be lucrative. And yes (like the wack-ass counselor said.....see how her overanalyzation got in my head) they have probably been to the stripclubs themselves in their lifetime and it is probably a reality check that they're too old to be looking at girls that could be their daughter in that way.
    (ps never tell your insurance that you went to counseling, even if for divorce, they raise your rate like you have mental instabilities, find someone to talk to)

    I think most parent's feel as if they "did something wrong" if their child doesn't live up to what they or society as a whole deems as acceptable. My mom & dad gave me that whole "you're better than that, you are degrading yourself/disgusting" shit too and now they are fine with it. I am sorry he had that reaction at first (I know it feels terrible) but I glad he is coming around. Its funny that the only line of work where you can degrade yourself is the adult industry isn't it? I worked at McDonalds and I felt a helluva lot more degraded there.

    My dad knew that I danced, he heard it from someone else, he wasn't ashamed but he never said anything negative to me about it. I wish he were still alive. He was supportive in anything I ever did.

    AWESOME! The weight off the shoulders feels great, doesn't it?

    My parents just found out what I do for a living, too. My dad knew for the longest time, but never told my mom to protect her (as was the reason I never told her). My mother just put the pieces of the puzzle together recently, and now she knows that I strip. At first, she was very upset and cried... but she got over it and told me she loved me no matter what--and she knows that I "like doing that." My dad brought it up casually in conversation one day, and my mother told him to hush up. His response was, "It's a fact of life now, there's no avoiding it." I think he's more laid back about everything because of all the time he spent at "Juicy Bars" when he was stationed in Korea as a young Airman.

    I've haven't found the need to let any of my parents know (and I have a lot....Mom, Dad, Stepdad, Stepmom).

    If I told anyone, it'd probably be my Stepmom - she's cool as shit. My Dad would probably flinch, but then get over it fairly quickly. They all knew I modeled topless and what not - so I am betting it would be all good. But I don't see the need to bring it up. I'm 27, married w/ kids... living away from them, and wouldn't even know how to approach it!
