Just wondering what other people have gone through as far as telling your parents or other family members that you dance (or NOT telling them). I am definitely not telling my dad and my mom and I are very close and usually talk about anything but I'm so nervous about telling her - so I haven't yet. I might just tell her I'm a waitress but I'm more leaning towards telling her nothing right now. I come from a very religious upbringing so I think that's where so much apprehension might come from. I am sorta fearful inside to tell them! I'm over 30 so I should be over this already, BUT I am not a good liar and don't like to keep things from the people I am close to - I'm not sure what to do! I LOVE my dancing, am proud of being able to make money doing something I enjoy, and am not ashamed of it in the least but I know a lot of people obviously would think it was a "slutty" job or what have you, especially old-school older people or more traditional people in general! (PS - I don't even work in a nude club!) (All my friends know and are VERY supportive already.) Anyone have any advice or go through this same situation yourself? Any advice would really help calm my nerves on this! Thanks everybody in advance!

I is NOT fond of my brother.
Ride it Hard and Fast,

LOL After being raised Catholic all my life (the whole hog - incl. confirmation). He won't really want to talk about it.

Man, so much for her rock solid principles.
