My daughter asked me if im a prostitue should I answer truthfully?

Question

Yes. From my time helping raise my little-sister & taking care of my former-church's kids,  either always tell the trut h (even if it means selecting what parts to disclose, how to disclose it, when…, etc.),  or admit flat out that you can't answer the question  (for whatever the reason).  If you run a track-record of  (as much as possible)  never lying with a kid, your word will be like law to them.  At least, that's what happened to me. How old is she? Tailor your message according to that. She may understand and accept it immediately, or it may take time. It all depends. if you want, you can add a caveat or warning of what could happen if you answer it truthfully and she doesn't take it positively. State how much you value your relationship with her, hence your apprehension and temptation to hide it. Then, ask if she still really wants to know. Allow her to give her answer immediately or some time later. Of course, this already hints at the correct answer, so you can adjust it as need be. But then again, maybe that is what she needs in order to see the bigger picture picture (yes, your profession, but also beyond that: that you respect her enough to be honest with her & that you value her enough to not want it to get in between you 2 of you).

It depends on how old she is, do you feel ashamed to be in that profession and would you be opposed to her following in your footsteps.

If you are going to tell her depending how you work some terms you can use are things like escort instead of prostitute.
You can describe your meets as dates where guys spend money on you to enjoy time together.
Also if your going to tell her you should explain your reasons for picking this profession over anything else.

Yes, you should tell her the truth because lying to your children is never a good thing. But make sure you emphasize that it's not a good decision to do that and not the best job choice. You would want to make sure she doesn't start wanting to do that herself. Explain your reasons for making the decision to become a prostitute. If it's just a temporary thing that you are planning to stop doing, then let her know that also.

The best way to get out of this situation would be to find a way to truly stop doing this type of work very soon so you can be a better example for your daughter. And when you do stop, make sure she knows that you're not a part of that lifestyle anymore. Let her see that you might have made some mistakes, but that you are taking steps to better yourself.

In this case, for the benefit of your kids... shield it from her. She doesn’t need to go through any type of stress or trauma at this moment. Maybe reveal it to her when she’s past adolescence and in a stable lifestyle, but this will harm development.

although I do not advocate dishonesty, I believe you would prioritize your children’s development.

What is truthfully?

Red_Arrow · Answer

Don't lie. But then again, while explaining, don't show pictures.

modeve · Answer

Don't hide. If she comes to know from other sources (and I believe she knows it well otherwise she shouldn't have asked it), you will have no excuse.

Her age is of course an issue but you need to explain it to her and why so she understands and doesn't judge you without context.

Kaneki05 · Answer

What age is she? That kinda depends on that and yeah if she is like 16+. I mean you cannot lie forever if you are?

Dargil · Answer

There is an association of criminality with that word. For women in your line of work, it is the "N" word, among some others. I don't care for euphemisms but look at it this way.
You are an entrepreneur, providing an essential service to your clients. You have contractual relationships where things of value are exchanged, not overwhelmingly different from a Social Worker I find the label for you of Sex Worker as both agreeable and accurate. That is the truth you can tell her. Control the narrative so she understands what you do and are..

Well.. are you?

jspl90 · Answer

Honestly i vote for truth getting lied to is annoying and i think she already has a inkling maybe sit her down and ask her what makes her ask that and just go from there🤔

Alexandrubaschet08 · Answer

If you are then tell her the true. If you are not tell her the true. If you lie to her and who know when and how she will finde out then it will destroy your relationship.

dublin_sexyeyes0 · Answer

Yes tell her. Cos she asked do she knows something. But tell her in a wayvage can digest as i dont know hercage. Lie now and later in you might regret it. I know of a girl in your situation.

chriscdi · Answer

Iron_Man · Answer

Yes of course

Wise4myage · Answer

I would base my answer on how old she is.

clampfan101 · Answer

Kids need to be encouraged to tell the truth.

SwordShield · Answer

Lie to her now, at least if she is young. Wait until she is older to gain such knowledge of you.

nawtee_me · Answer

Yes, if you are not a prostitute then she should know that, and if you are then she kind of knows anyway since she has asked you? lying would just make her not trust you...
As much as I want to know too I won't ask you. but if you want to tel... ;)
