Not to offend anyone, but I hear the excuse of women doing it for their children sake too often.
Just wondering, if you do it for your children you stop when you have enough for them, right? And you don't buy yourself fancy shoes and clothes and don't spend any of it on luxury?
I am just hoping none of those children will be made feel guilty for making their mothers work as escorts and so jeopardizing their lives.
I'm sorry to say but as a single mother and ex sp I think we do more harm to our children than good by being in this business. Sure Naidia's or other kids may have more financially, but seriously think of the long term consequences. Do you want your children growing up and one day being smart enough to figure out that Mom always has tons of money but doesn't go to work like their friends mom. Or you die from a bad trick, how is that better for the children? Children aren't stupid, and I would not want to teach my daughters that this is a good way to live cause it's not. Call it harder, easier whatever you will. It is easy, fast money that is the allure. If not for the fast easy money who would still escort? And also sorry ladies the risk taken is a risk chosen in this profession. I've been there taken the risks and am lucky to be out alive and well balanced in the head still. My challenge to SP's would be to talk more about safety and less about money. Money doesn't fix problems it's just a bandaid. You should always have someone around when youu're working ready to phone 911. I always had someone tucked away in my extra bedroom. Nobody ever knew they were there, but I did and it made me feel safer knowing I wasn't in full harms way. Stay safe ladies, and I'm not judging these are just my opinions
I'd like to address everyone from Perbertt to Naughtygirl. Some have made very good points. I'd like start with a short story.
Born into welfare, raised in it and then having children born into it themselves. Starting at the tender age of 15 yrs old. Yes, maybe not one of the best decisions but none the less, your bed and you do your best to make it. You do what you can of course, to get out of it, yes for the sake of your kids. You take what ever schooling was offered/given to you and get the best jobs you can with it. Nothing more then $8/hr though. It's completely unreasonable to think that one could raise 2 kids on $800/mo. So you go get another job. That leads to you not ever seeing your kids. Then the kids start developing behavioural problem because the 5yr old has to put her 1.5 yr sister to bed/bath every night cause mama is at work trying to make rent this month. So mama's tired, kids are tired. And this happens to be the harsh reality for
some. Not everyone has the luxury of having parents (not my case though) to help or the father to stick around and take responsibility. So your left to your own devices.
So the moral of this story is...first off Perbett, Yes, I will stop when I have given myself a better education to raise my kids up right. Yes, I will stop when my kid's education fund is at least started. I don't do this for the fun of it, I do it because at this point I feel that I have to. And No, I don't buy fancy shoes for myself (I still can't manage to spend more then $20 on a pair of jeans) or my kids. They never had it before and I don't see the point in getting them use to it now when the plan is to leave the biz when I meet my goals.
To D.W.B Sure, it's quite possible to manage a modest 10k yr career and raise kids on your own, however in
my opinion, a women who has been able to accomplish that, probably has a pretty strong and healthy support system. Not the case for
all.
For InTheBum you couldn't be more right on some points. I do feel that
some are lazy and greedy, I happen to be just lazy

At 26 yrs I'm sick of working my ass off for peanuts holding down and min of 2 jobs at a time and my kids making the biggest sacrifice of all....raising themselves. I do not wish to work that hard anymore and take anymore from my kids.
Finally Naughtygirl. I'm very glad you were able to get out. To me, your a success story. But with all do respect, in a earlier thread I read that you had met someone and then choose to get out of the biz and so surely you developed a support system that allowed you to take that road. I maybe wrong and I don't want to make any assumptions here cause you may have made that choice either way. Anyway congrats!

Now I can't pretend to know every sp's choices, so
personally speaking this was not an easy choice for me. Sure I did toy with the idea when I was younger but never had the balls to do it. As for my kids wondering why I have so much money? I don't. I still have a day job (off today due to snow) I only work weekends and some evening when my mom is able to have them. Though I have more money then before I don't flash it about. There is a purpose for me doing this and 60% of my proceeds go to the bank, while the rest helps to moderately maintain my home. I feel that I'm responsibly using this income for my greater good. I have been lucky this far to have not had a bad experience, but mark my words if that day ever comes (before I'm done reaching my goals) then I can and will get out. To me, the money is easy but the job is not. And I agree with you, I do not want to teach my girls that this is a good way to live, cause it's not. That’s why I'm in the thinking stages of going pro this summer for maybe a year to reach my goals faster. I'd hate for my kids to find out what I do and would like to get done as quick as I can.
