Enlightening comments in this thread.
For one, I could never live with my parents and be a provider smh. THAT I could not live with. I feel as though I am already doing something they wouldn't want me to do in the first place so to do it and be living in their house, would be direspectful imo. Besides,
As a provider, I make enough money to
have my own space (two properties to be exact).
Second, as I said, I live by myself, pay my taxes, own my own cars, don't owe anyone shit (debt free) and my parents are nowhere near. I do not feel the need to explain myself to anyone that isn't my SO (since I would putting his life at risk by not telling him). In my civie life, I am very conservative. I mind my own business (even though my neighbors doesn't mind theirs) and my girlfriends that know I provide live in other states (they're providers too). I am not an american. American are very lenient when it comes to these things. I could never tell anyone in my personal life that I was a provider. I know a lot of ladies are proud to tell their families but I come from a very proud family and that is a no go.
I do not want to be known among-st my family/rw peers as a prostitute. We are discreet here for a reason. The two worlds should never collide. I now run another business that makes this easier to hide. If this were something I plan on doing for the rest of my life then of course I would tell them. This (providing) to me is a crutch to bigger and better things. It should never be a lifestyle but a JOB!
Great thread, Ava!
