Okay this is a weird one but bear with me. My mom is nearly 49, pretty, very open minded, and broke. She is a massage therapist- not FBSM, I mean legitimate massage that she does in a health spa. The problem is her health is worsening to the point that it's getting increasingly more difficult for her to work. Eventually she won't be able to work in her field at all (she has a long-term degenerative disease). Combine that with a crappy economy and she's complaining how she's not even living paycheck to paycheck these days. As she told me this morning, she's stealing from Peter to give to Paul, and then holding Paul in a stick-up to get her money back. She doesn't do anything illegal. She's mentioned how she's not interested in doing erotic massage, I think the actual contact is too much for her.
But, she does know what I do for a living and is totally fine with it. I've been telling her she can make clips, even non-nude ones to sell and while she thinks it's awesome that I get paid when guys watch me to burp, she hasn't caught on to the idea for herself. I've told her she should try camming to supplement her income and her reply was "No one wants to see my old ass." I've tried to tell her there's a market for everything but I don't think she believes me. One of her boyfriends suggested jokingly that she could do phone sex. I worked as a PSO my last year of college when I still lived with her so she knows it is legitimate does pay but she says she'll have to do "more research." I think she'd be good at it I guess, I mean, she's my mom so I don't really know but I know she is open-minded. But I don't think she thinks she has what it takes to make money in the adult industry. *I* think she needs to pay her bills and if her vanilla job isn't cutting it she needs to do something to supplement. She's talking about moving to Vegas to do God only knows what. I feel like she is interested in doing what I do, maybe not to rely on but just to make ends meet, but something is holding her back.
So I guess what I'm asking is, how can I convince my mom to take the leap and start in the adult field? Whether phone sex, camming, non-nude clips- whatever she is comfortable with. Every single time we talk she complains that she is broke and I feel bad because I keep encouraging her to move out here so I can help her out but she wants to do things on her own. I understand, I am the daughter so of course she doesn't want me to take care of her just yet. Ive talked to her about other vanilla things she can do online to supplement her income but her response has been very lackluster; talking about making money in the adult industry is the one thing that actually seems to spark her curiosity. I know her self-confidence is low which I think is the reason she is hesitant, so how do I show her that she really can succeed regardless of her own hang-ups? If I was talking to a friend of my own age I know what I'd say but this is my mom, so... Yeah I know it's awkward and weird but I feel bad because for the past year every single time we talk or email she's complaining about money and I know what she can do to fix her problem?
