Now we have a wonderful family.  I only did that for a short period of time. Do I tell my child where i met there father? Maybe something* a made up story** now while my child is younger he is 4 now.. then tell the truth as an adult. how wouldyou handle this??

I wouldn't.

Leave that part of the past in the past :)

Well, I sure as hell wouldn't tell him now. And as an adut, I wouldn't either. Don't disenchant the kid!

Just tell your child that you guys met at work.

To me it's nothing to be ashamed of. I have never stripped but idk I just don't get lying about it. Keep things age appropriate but don't lie.

Tell them it was at a night club. This way when they're older and you feel like you can be honest about where you met their dad, they won't be able to say that you lied since strip clubs are also essentially night clubs.

I don't have all the answers honey!

I am just saying I wouldn't tell my child I met their father stripping.

I'd say at a club?

this is a good idea.  honestly this is my plan.. dh told his brother where he met me.. And his brother told my mil ( HIS MOM).. So I hope she can just keep her mouth shut.. She has been known to throw me under the buss:(
