I'm currently seven months pregnant with a little girl. The first thing my sister said when I told her it was a girl was, "she can never know you were a stripper". (which pissed me off on many levels, but didn't surprise me since she's always been judgmental about that part of my life)
After dancing full or part time for ten years, I quit in my fourth month.
I'm not ashamed of dancing, and I don't want to lie about it. It was actually my favorite job I've ever had, which most people can't understand. It made me who I am today, I think in many ways a better person, better able to parent than if I had never done it.
My question is, what have you told your kids about your job? When do you tell them? I can't keep ten years of my life a secret from my daughter, and I know if I ever hear her saying ignorant things about the industry when she's older I won't be able to help correcting her. I can just imagine the conversation might be as awkward as a birds and the bees one.......![]()
