I am taking my son to a new play group this week. I know he would love it. His current interest, ice skating, does not realyy require me to inteact w/ the other parents, and they all live near each other and know each other, anyway. Now I am joining an Attachment Parenting group near my home and there will be MUCH more interaction between the moms.
Eventaully somebody is going to ask me whether/where I work. I have mixed feelings about this. I am not ashamed of what I do, and I really don't mind peopel knowing. BUT . . . I am worried about how the other moms are going to react, as in not wanting their kid to play with the kid of a STRIPPER. I feel like I might as well get a scarlet S and pin it on my jacket right now!
Has anybody had this problem? How did you solve it? Did you jsut come right out and say, "I dance at ___." ?? I have in the past told people I was a coctail waitress, but it is not going to work this time, as I don't know who knows the area where I work. I don't want to be a stripper and a liar, too!
What should I do?
