So I have this "friend".
She use to be a dancer, and we use to have a blast together.
Anyway, we both got knocked up and had our babies. My son is a year older than her daughter.
We got into after her daughter was born because she thought it was "bad mothering" of me to continue to strip and to post whatever pics I want on the net.
I told her stripping is putting food on the table, buying him clothes and toys, etc, etc...who cares if it's a "respectable" job or not?
As for the pics, I think my son would be pretty happy to have a "hot mom". LOL
anyway though, she reconnected with me on FB and saw all our old party pictures.
She wants me to take them down because she doesn't want her daughter to know about that. (I will take them down due to respect of her not wanting her pics online anymore, but funny how it USE to be okay.)
Is it just me or does that seem wrong?
She said she's trying to raise a "respectable girl" and doesn't want her daughter to ever see any pics of her partying. Doesn't want her daughter to know about her stripping.
The past is the past. Maybe I'm different, because I don't censor my son.
Once he gets older, and asks about my past, I'm going to be honest with him about yeah. Yeah, I partied, yeah, I stripped....does it make me a bad person/mom?? No. I don't think it does.
It actually made me who I am....
It's the past. I made mistakes and I've LEARNED from them.
and if I ever had a daughter and she wanted to strip, I'd support her in whatever she wanted to do. Because my parents did for me. I'm not ashamed of it.
My question is:
If you had/have a daughter (or kids) would you support them if they made the choice to strip? Would you lie about your past? How much censoring in a child's life do you think is necessary?
