I worked as stripper, what to tell my parents about money I have?

[Anonymous]

I'm 19 student and live with my parents.

My mother always notice if I have new dress, anything new.

I worked for 2 months as a stripper , now I decided to stop it because I don't like to work like this.

But I could earn big money during this time. I want to spend it going for a trip with friend, and buy cool clothes.

But my mother will be shocked that I have money for such trip or seeing my new clothes.

She isn't stupid, and knows that I woun't earn so much doing part-time jobs.

I was thinking about telling her that I won his money..

what do you think I can say and it won't sound fishy?

I feel compelled to answer this with an answer you won't like. I think you should just tell your mom the truth. She's going to smell a lie no matter what you say and you will only hurt her and your relationship if you lie to her. I suspect you'll also feel guilty about lying to your parents, I usually do. This causes stress that you do not have to have. If you just tell her how you got the money she will be mad and possibly disappointed, but also proud that you stopped on your own and don't really want to do it anymore. She will understand where you got the money and can't really stop you going.

I'm assuming you have logical parents like mine. Please tell me if I'm giving them too much credit.

Yeah, lol, if your mom or dad would have a coronary from the idea of their little girl being a stripper, probably a good idea to invent a story. Even use the uni facilities to fabricate corroborating evidence, complete with logos and "tax withholding" data.

Just keep in mind, this particular scheme will only work once with them. It will be very hard to convince them later on you won a second time.

But, after the "winnings" story, when you return from vacation, you can use the "I got a promotion mommy!" story to inflate your wages, again, fabricate evidence. This way, your parents perceive you as earning a higher than usual wage for your typical part time gig.

Don't tell her the truth, whatever you do. Tell her you won money on the lottery. She will believe it, denial is a strong emotion. No parents want hear there baby is a stripper. When you get older then drop this little unknown fact about you. They will probably be shock, but they will laugh it off.

[imfierceyessir]

Your mom will be so embaressed ... Just put the money in a bank account and stop spending much, and tell her you have been saving for the trip etc, and please stop stripping, it will haunt you forever.

You could tell your mom you won it in a dance off contest at a club...which is kinda sorta what you did. :)

[omgwtflol]

Thanks for Best Answer

[Asker]

because your idea is pretty good :)

[Theguyoverthere]

There is no real way to go about it. The truth may not "hurt them" as much as you think. It really depends on the kind of parents you have. Being 18+ you are an adult who can make your own decisions. However, they can also kick you out(I doubt they would though for something like that).

[ahemmm]

Tell your parents and expect them to be mad at you of course. You don’t expect them to be proud of you don’t you? You have the guts to degrade yourself like that cause of such very lame reason then why not channel that guts/courage you have to admit to your parents that you are stupid and foolish.

[Anonymous]

maybe don't tell her and stop doing it so "nobody knows" ? How is it possible she knows how much money you have ? You know, you boughthose things "second hand" xD Because those things are normally just overpriced :P

Arent there better things than buying clothes all the time ? I just wonder, no offense :)

[Anonymous]

My mom found out through a friend of hers who saw me dancing. She was cool with it and admitted she had stripped when she was in college. id say if you're that worried about it, just don't be obvious about the money. personally id be honest though. it'll be a lot worse if she finds out on her own.

[aMuse]

I find it hilarious that you took off your clothes in front of a bunch of strangers to get money to buy clothes. That sh*t just makes me laugh. =P

[KingsOfleon88]

It's good to hear that you stopped stripping. You are so young, and that is an environment, you (or anyone else) shouldn't have to be in.

[M_A_X]

Stop being a terrible person. If it's not something you can be proud of, you shouldn't be doing it.

[Betwyn]

she did stop.. just now she wants to spend the money without saying where it came from.

[M_A_X]

Again, we come to the point, that two wrongs don't make a right. Lying to your parents about it isn't going to do anything. You need to get rid of that money to punish yourself so that you won't do something like this again. If you spend it you have a chance to get addicted to the life. You'll get addicted to the easy money. Money only has value when it's spent, though, so either keep it as a reminder of your mistake or give it to a charity.

How is she being a terrible person? I don't know what she's actually thinking or how her life is but guess what people have different cultures and different lives to yours where their parents might even disown them or kick them out if they find out their kid does something like that, not everyone has accepting parents or parents who could just come around and accept it eventually. Like I said I don't know how she thinks but seems like it's not that she's ashamed maybe she's just scared of her mum's reaction. And in this situation she even said it she lives with her parents. This isn't me saying She definitely has strict parents this is me saying maybe think about the fact that people don't have the same life as u and aren't in the same family situation as u. And I dont even know how your life is but by judging off of this comment seems like you've got a pretty accepting surrounding, which is good for you if that is the case but not everyone has that advantage so you can't tell people they're a bad person for being in an unfortunate situation.

Just tell them the truth. Your dad should definitely know, so that he can realize that he has failed as a father.

Truth in comedy

[Koldhearted]

Before I click that link I'm assuming it's

"not everyone Is the best dad but if your daughter is a stripper you f***ed up"

[Opinion Owner]

It is.

[Koldhearted]

A classic.

It's true too. Most, if not all strippers, have daddy issues

[aMuse]

lol

[pr3ttybr0wn]

You really should save the money in a bank account instead of spending it in ways that are obvious.

Or you can say such and such store had a really good sale.

[GAG1989]

lets play devils advocate here and say why not just tell her the truth. women are always wanting men to tell the truth, so why not do it yourself?

[Anonymous]

I'm a go-go dancer. They don't need to know how much money you have. Just say you saved your money. I've just lied and said I work somewhere else and no one really questions me. They ask how work is and I say good then change the subject.

[unleashedsavage]

start by tellling THE TRUTH... before a random stranger comes and tells them.

[Anonymous]

Your friend got a great deal on the trip, and is helping you out by subsidizing it.

You got the clothes off of a clearance rack, or "gently used" from a thrift store.

[Anonymous]

Can't you just say you've been saving up for a while? I think telling them you won it sounds more suspiscious than saying nothing at all, it'd be hard to make that sound genuine.

[Opinion Owner]

...? Why was this voted down? lol. At least leave a comment, people. I genuinely think it sounds suspiscious to pretend you randomly won a bunch of money, and that it'd be hard to feign the excitement you'd be feeling if that were true...

[RedSmartie]

Just say that you buy all your stuff on sale and you're working two jobs or something.

[Anonymous]

spend it on rent for your own place... then you won't have to listen to her.

[Opinion Owner]

were you really a stripper? If so... how was it? and why did you stop if the money was I good? I want to do this just so I can become independent and move out from my terrible living situation...

[showt1me]

bidding on low priced items from ebay the flipping them for a prophet

[Anonymous]

Say you sold some stuff maybe? Or borrowed money from a friend? Have you given nude lapdances too or does your club only allow dancing on stage?

[Stacyzee]

Tell her you won it from a sweepstakes online.

[jayrex]

Winning sounds like a plausible idea.
