    Angry Mum is being a pain (rant)

    So I recently started dancing and both my parents know and overall, they are very supportive. However, my mum is irritating the crap out of me and lately, not so supportive! She keeps on warning me about the consequences of my job and how society is judgemental and newsflash - I already knew that shit and quite frankly, I don't give a single fuck what people think of me. I keep telling her otherwise but she is just not listening to me and I am sick of trying to explain why I'm doing this job or justify my reasons - when I would otherwise not be asked if I was doing a "normal" job.

    When I was working as a retail assistant and hated it, felt anxious and depressed about going in, why was nobody encouraging me to quit my job? Some lawyers, waiters etc are miserable and hate their job, yet they are never pushed to justify it with some grand explanation of their choice. I never had to justify my shitty retail job and now with this, there is so much pressure to justify it with my mum and give her a reason, which I have and she does not seem to be listening. I'm happy I've told her because I know she doesn't morally have a problem with it, but she's just getting annoying now and it's exhausting and I am simply being repetitive about every damn thing she asks. I just don't want to talk about it anymore. It's doing more damage than good and just reinforcing further stigma surrounding this job. All these questions are upsetting and I am under a lot of pressure to have to show I always enjoy this job, when I know there will be crappy nights - just like any other job. She may care what people think - but that is her problem and not mine.

    I'll be moving out in a month thankfully, so I will be stripping in peace very soon!

    She probably projecting her own fears onto you or she doesn't believe you are truly happy at your job but merely just saying you are.

    Either way you could either blow her off when this topic comes up or communicate with her to find out where her fears are coming from and let her know AGAIN that you are currently enjoying your work and that her constant remarks are making you feel bad.

    Sometimes it takes people multiple times to hear or see something before they accept it.

    If you want to stay happy at your job then recommend your mom to keep the subject more positive and supportive. Otherwise you may have to avoid this topic with your mom.

    could be worse. when my mother learned I was camming she decided to start bombarding me with show ideas, and digging through her old wardrobe from when she was in her 20's for things, and constantly wanting to ask me to flirt with worthwhile ones for her- granted they looked like Richard Dean Anderson...... and just overal wants to relive her youth vicariously through me >.< granted my mother was NEVER the sort to ever hold anything back- filters and such in my house didnt exist growing up but there are still some things that are awkward when she crosses them >.<
