Reading another topic made me realize my frustrations of keeping my work a secret. Im the mother of two teenagers.
Ive always wondered what children of working moms in this industry think of their moms when they find out. It scares me - because I work very hard to hide it- I truly live a naughty second life online. (which fully excites me!) I doubt they have any idea about what I do.
I wonder if it will be a total blow to them if and when they find out- or if they are smarter than I know and have already seen red flags - or maybe even know already about what I do at home while they are in school.
They were so upset when they found out I was the tooth fairy for gods sake! Knowing that Im a cam girl... might set them over the edge. ha.
My kids think I am a stay at home, non working mom. I hate to lie to them. I also hate that I cant let them know (yet) that I am contributing to our families income significantly. I make more than my husband currently.
In my opinion, the most difficult thing about not telling anyone I do this type of work- is hiding the excitement of the income. For me, the feeling that comes with monetary success is powerful! I have three sisters who have successful careers. My parents are proud of them for it. Im the token stay at home mom - daughter - which they are proud of too for obvious different reasons! I followed in my moms footsteps.
I make great money in a field that I LOVE! Im not ashamed of what I do, just worried I will upset them or embarrass my family if they ever found out what I do. I cant imagine ever telling my sisters or parents.
I love knowing that as a woman, I have unlimited potential for financial gain in this field. The sky is the limit! A smart, passionate- determined cam girl has the ability to make a ton of money.
I keep my work a secret from my kids for now-because of their age. But deep inside I cant wait to tell them about it. It is something that I am very proud of. I enjoy it and am very good at it.
any thoughts?
