Here is my predicament. I have a very bright 6 year old daughter, who just started 1st grade.
So far, all she knows is that I no longer work my "computer job", and that I work in a club/restaurant. I am not sure how long this story will hold up. She is VERY smart - and I suspect that she already knows something is not adding up.
I am not going to tell her RIGHT NOW.....but she sees my heels & outfits and has overheard the term "dance" and "dancer" numerous times, so I know I will have to deal with this at some point.
What do you tell your children (particularly your daughter or daughters), and at what age? I would assume the answer would be based on the child's maturity and readiness to handle the truth - but I am struggling with that.
I am not looking for opinions on whether or not I should tell. I am looking more for personal experiences from other Mother's
Thanks ladies!![]()

Really? I can't possibly believe that. That statement greatly offends me. To immediately write off a girl because she stripped, would be just as offensive as someone saying "Gawd I'd die if my child ever bought home a black/asian/mexican/whatever." As long as the girl was nice, and treated him nicely with mutual respect, then I wouldn't give a damn what she did for a living. (So long as it was legal) My hubby's ex is a total fuckin loser. She doesn't visit with her own kids, she doesn't pay child support, she keeps switching low paying jobs, and is 30 and doesn't have shit. But some people would just assume that she is a better person or would be a better "catch" for their child simply because she works as a waitress and does not take her clothes off for money. Although she is a loser/alcoholic that cares more about hangin in the bar, than spending time w/her own children. That is ignorant and angers the shit out of me. I would rather my kid bring home a stripper, than some bitch like that who is not doing anything with her life. You have to teach your kids the stereotypes of the world and teach them to think outside the box. I tell my kids that what is popular, is not always right or even true. It is just me being naked, I guess I fail to see what the big deal is. Its not as if I'm out dealing crack. I think when you are ashamed of yourself, then of course you are not going to believe that others will not be ashamed.
