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.
I think I basically agree with this; but with one caveat. If/when he finds out it should be from you.
Maybe just letting him know the name of the place you work would allow him to figure it out on his own as he gets older. Kinda depends on the relative location and how notorious (or not) the place is in your area.
