OMG! LOL I love that question.. i absolutely love it when i hear sobb stories of ... I'm a stripper or prostitute because i need to get through ccollege, or I need to take care of my kids. lol STFU!!! lol i'm soo over those stories.. you are not a stripper to make it through college. you do it becuase you love getting naked and the attention you get from it! that's why you do it... stop lying to everyone and especially stop lying to yourself.. if you really needed money to get yourself through college, there are grants, loans, student aid, and most of all a REAL JOB! you know.. an 8-5 or 2nd shift job... what most students really do... but enough about the BS! dont tell them if you dont know how they will react.. this is not something you blurt out on a family gathering.. this is something you visit your family *not on a holiday* and just tell them what you do

That is a decision that only you can make. Just weigh out the positives and negatives. You never mentioned how straight-laced our how lenient your parents and grandmother are. If it's something that would get you kicked out of the family, then it is probably not worth revealing at this time. Holidays are not a good time to spring "news" on your family. If it had a negative impact, it will always be associated with the holiday. If you do decide to tell them, make it sometime other than Thanksgiving.
Good luck.

Your parents will probably not approve--but unless they´re paying your way through college they don´t have to. Your grandmother will probably not approve either, but she´s not naive and unless she´s in poor health I wouldn´t worry about giving her a heart attack.
It may be a good idea for your male relatives to know about it because if they walk into the club where you´re stripping it could be awkward.
Don´t blurt it out while Grandpa is carving the turkey. The children in your family probably can´t handle this information. You could quietly tell your mother in private and then she can discreetly tell everyone else in turn after you go back to stripping and school.

Why tell them at all?
You are a grown woman and it is not any ones business what you do to pay bills.
As long as you are not in any trouble and
you are not addicted to any kind of stimulents.
You probably do not dance in the same town as your family and they will not find out unless you tell them. It may confuse them to know your job and why you do it.
It may make them ashamed of you. It may
lead to judgmental lectures or they just may be ok with it.
I do not agree with the work you do. I can only say that I would not want my daughter to come home and tell me she got a job stripping to pay her way through college. I
would feel like I let her down. Couldn`t take care of her. Didn`t teach her right. I would
feel so saddened by my inability to give her what she needed. My guilt would be enought that I would sell everything I owned to pay her college bills.

I definately wouldnt make an announcement at thanksgiving!
If you feel that they NEED TO KNOW then tell them another time.. maybe when grandma's not there.
If its something your embarassed by maybe you should consider a new job

I wouldn't. I know that is bad but I wouldn't tell my family. They would be to ashamed of me and I wouldn't tell them over thanksgiving. It may ruin the holiday.

Some things are better kept to yourself. Especially if your grandmother will be there. All the best.

Either don't tell them you're a stripper or tell them. Or DON'T be a stripper.
If you're ashamed... why would you be a stripper in the first place?

I don't really think you need to tell them. I mean if you were dating a guy and he didn't know that's something you'd probably need to share with me............I mean him. It's not necessary to share that with everyone though. Do ya think? Some people can't handle it, I myself respect it and think it's hot

As long as your dad or grandpa isn't sitting at Perverts Row, I would keep that to yourself.
But just out of curiosity, do you feel ashamed?
Lots of college girls do the same thing.
