Should I tell my 13 year old son about my job? - Lemmy.World

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.

Nope
but also he's still going to judge you.
Why would her son judge her negatively? Or do you mean he would appreciate how hard she works to make their life bearable?
Are you serious? Teens massively judge everyone about everything. They especially judge their parents
Of course they will in stable families, especially with religious upbringing, but it’s way less likely when they grow up with a single parent who has to do things they dislike to keep their kids fed and clothed.
An interesting hypothesis. I could potentially believe that, but I'd need some non-anecdote evidence before i do. I can imagine it being true, but i can also imagine it being false
Well, I guess that says more about you than about your booty-shaking mom.
