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 know Lemmy is very left-coded but you have to be trolling if you think a 13 year old won’t have any reaction to being told his mother strips for strangers

      What has that to do with left-coding. This has more to do with imprinting notions.

      Edit: If she or important people around them imprinted on the kid that caring and providing for family was worse than abandoning and condemning family, then that might lead to the kid being disillusioned with the lack of support from the society. But otherwise, I surely hope that the kid was raised well enough to see that their mom did her best for them.
