Should I tell my 13 year old son about my job?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world · 7 days ago

I’m a single mom to a 13 year old teen and we live in a bad area. I work two jobs to pay the bills. I’m currently a barista and at night I’m a dancer/stripper at a nightclub. I haven’t really told him about my night job yet, since I’ve just played it off as being a waitress. I feel like he’s gotten kind of mature now, but I also am kind of scared he might judge me or it might affect our relationship.

Don’t make-it a big deal, and your kid won’t make-it a big-deal

  But his friends most definitely will if they find out.

    They will most likely find out anyway, and it’s better to have the kid hear it from the parent than from his friends.
