So no judgement please...but any moms on here entertainers/dancers? I work at McDs. My hours have been cut from a steady 30-40 hours to 8-15 hours a week. And I have honestly considered dancing once my daughter is born because I cannot live off $400 a month.
Working in that industry is the fast solution but not always the easiest. Some things to consider: you live in a small town so your family and friends will find out. You dont have a guaranteed paycheck. You will be disrespected daily. You have to deal with people groping and touching you. Who will watch the baby while you work late nights? Just a few things to think about. Ultimately its what ever is best for your family
My sister in law does it and it's a great way for her to support her family, and it's only while her kids are young and won't understand. I understand the lack of jobs in a really small town. So do what you have to do. I mean, it really is just dancing.
definitely prepare yourself emotionally for it, I thought about it but I don't have it in me to handle it
@faithfulness88, it's obviously not a permanent solution. I'm currently in school.
I always thought that'll be fun lol but maybe try looking for a professional job. It can be dangerous. Especially after having a baby, you want to stay strong for your little one. But I mean whatever decision you make I hope it turns out good for you.
@geladactyl, I live in a small literal 4 red lights town with no vehicle. Amazingly we have a strip club though. Lol. @valerie_jean haha I don't either it's okay. My "sexy dance" is the robot. A girl I went to high school with is a dancer and she makes $2000 grand a weekend in this small town club. That's working two nights and the rest of her time she is with her babies. So it is a bit appealing. I'm honestly tired of living off of government assistance. @peachs75
you need to be strong and confident in yourself to be able to handle the drunk and extremely perverted men that come in. I have some friends that dance to support their families. make damn good money
What about retail? Nordstroms starts off, I think around $15/hr. I used to nanny and got $15 an hour.
you should decide how you feel about your body post baby
