I would make a guess and say no. I think organized play groups are snobby to begin with for the most part at least the ones I have been to in the past. I only do causual meet ups for play groups now with friends and with some moms on here. I know I could care less what you do for a living but then I am not a committed play group type of mom either. Sorry you got kicked out.

A clean house is a sign of a wasted life.

My concern would be as to why your 3 year old has so much info to share about your line of work.  Your job wouldn't bother me, as another playgroup mom but the fact that your three year old has the info to share in front of my child would bother me.  I can understand why they would be uncomfortable with the situation.

Although I can understand people being uncomfortable with the line of work, the fact that your 3 year old is so knowledgeable may be the bigger problem.  Kids see/know more than we give them credit for (I know this firsthand - lol).  Although you may be proud of what you do (and if you are financially helping your household, and feel good about your work, no worries).  I hope some moms on here (like santatess) will playgroup with you.  I would, but my DD is 15.   Good luck! 

I love being a Tupperware Consultant!  PM me for a catalog or to get on my mailing list!

I would have no problem with you being in my playgroup...if I had one. I say to each their own.

Thanks, I'm glad I'm not out of line thinking they are snobby mean ladies!

But why is it a concern that my son knows what I do?  I don't see any reason in sugar coating it.  We call it adult dancing.  He thinks I dance, and I do.  I just don't see why other mothers who, if they are moms - have done the deed, can be so uncomfortable with it?

I agree with 2lb, if you kept it to yourself and maybe only the mother's knew about it I wouldn't care. But when your 3yr old boy starts telling my 2 1/2 yr old that mommy makes lots of money dancing naked, that's not ok. You have to understand your line of work just isn't publicly acceptable, people shield their children as long as possible from even hearing about it cause no one wants to hear their kid exclaim "I WANT TO BE A STRIPPER WHEN I GROW UP!!". I think the majority of people (including myself) still think it's degrading to women, if that makes me closed minded so be it.

Are you comparing what 2 people in love do to each other, to dancing naked to excite strange men for money? Cause imo their not even comparable.

I've never been part of a playgroup myself. All I have to say is at least you have a job! You're taking care of your children. I don't have to tell you not to worry about what people think. People are always going to have an opinion. I haven't been on here too long and have found that there are snooty women on here! But I don't think that the baby should know about it. I know my daughter tells everyone's business (the new millenium babies- too smart). But since your baby does, no sense in crying over spilled milk. Just make sure the baby doesn't share it anymore.

Ok so your kid knows you do "adult dancing" he's only 3 and that's about specific as you can get at 3.  If you continue to do dance for a living then I'd really think about the words you use to describe your profession.  The one reason I never did a play date was I thought most other moms would be stuck up and not like me. Instead of doing an instant play date, I'm getting to know some moms on here so I can see what they're like, cause after all kids can play with anyone...it's the adults that don't play nice!  Just my opinion here.

I think it is a big problem that your 3 yr old son knows that you are "adult dancing" or whatever else you call it. He is a kid and it is your place to see that he talks like a kid, not like an adult. What you do is your business and that is how you need to keep it. I would of kept my children away from this kind of talk too. I do not have a problem with what you do, I could care less. What I have a problem with is you talking to the kid at 3 years old about a topic he has no business hearing. If your going to discuss these topics with your son...get used to the fact he will have no friends.
