Thread: How many of you have kids?

and what do they think of burlesque. I know my daughter is only a few months old but i'm worried what she'll think when she's older.

well, if you act ashamed of what you do then yes the child may well be ashamed at what you do.:warn:

So come out of the closet and post an avatar of yourself as a start to prove to yourself that it is alright to do what you do.

I am amazed at all the different types of beautiful women and men I see here at this site!!!

Love yourself, love what you do in life. You have the power use it.:excited:

I don't have kids, so that means either 1) my opinion is worthless, or 2) I can be a tad objective. (Take your pick - I've been accused of both!) I didn't reply earlier, as I was trying to give it some thought. I have friends with many and varied interests from naturism to reinacting, and they've all got kids.

However surely your daughter would form her opinions from you? Kids grown up often forming their judgments from what they come across at home - for quite some years, they won't know any different. Home is normal. Everything else is 'other'.

I wonder what you think your daughter might think one day, and why you think she'll form those conclusions? She might eventually discover that other mummies aren't simply fabulous and glamourous and fun, and then she might ask a few questions. But then that's up to you how to address them. She won't learn to judge it's 'bad' or disapprove, unless you or someone else teaches her to judge it so. Eventually she'll be bound to have questions, but it'll be out of genuine enquiry. It doesn't have to be a problem.

Either that or keep it all in the closet until she's older. Your call. You're going out dancing. But little girls like a bit of glamour and boas and dressing up and pretty things. That might be something you can share, without going 'This is Burlesque, Ta Daaaaa!'. Learning confidence doesn't have to wait until adulthood.

Ditto both the posters above, if it's how your daughter grows up knowing you then that'll just be who mum is. I don't think you can worry about what she's going to think in the future, a happy mum who enjoys herself is going to make more of an impact, whether or not you tell her (and how much you tell her). Enjoy yourself, be proud of who you are.

My son is only a just over year, but since he's taken ownership of a feather boa, and keeps theiving grandma's sparkly slippers I have a feeling he's a 2027 audience member.

Audience member, I think you might have a performer.

There was a really interesting thread back in September on this topic:

:yes: He does do a pretty dramatic silent wail when he's not getting his own way (a bit Norma Desmond).
