If You're Teaching Your Daughter To Get Out Of Debt By Dating Men, You're Wrong

The world doesn't need to know how you hooch around to pay bills.

I just read an article on Yahoo titled "Single Mom Supports Teenage Daughter By Being Paid to Date." Um, go ahead and give it a read. It's great material and she's a terrific role model. Take note of the sarcasm.

Bravo! Bravo on showing your daughter what a good mom is. Bravo on setting yourself as a fantastic idol for your child. Introducing her to men and allowing a random man, who if I might add, is not the damn father, to buy your daughter a seven thousand dollar truck. Wow.

You know, I just wrote an article on parenting and I think maybe you should give it a read. I’m sure there are better ways to earn money than to degrade yourself to being bought. You auction yourself off for men and maybe it wouldn’t be such a big deal if you didn’t let your daughter know. But since this went public, I’ve got to put my two cents as well.

You may not be accepting money for "sex" specifically, but this is borderline legal prostitution, or pretty damn close to it. If you aren't doing it, someone else probably is. Men will pay you and eventually, they will expect some type of reward since they are paying you. They are buying you for the evening which means you will have to give it up eventually and conflict could arise from that problem alone since you know, some people are crazy and this is not a safe practice of engaging in a relationship. I don't know how that website got legalized, but it's sketchy to me. Something bad will eventually come out of this, but I digress.

I think it’s funny how some mothers manipulate men by making them feel pity because they are single and taking care of a child by themselves. It’s 2018, there are a million different single moms out there. There’s nothing special about you or the fact of you being a single mom. Is this your excuse or justification for messing around with men? Men are wasting their money using this website called "WhatsYourPrice". You say you won’t take less than 100 dollars. First of all, don’t you think as a woman you should pride yourself and acknowledge that you should cost more since you think so highly of yourself? Second, think about what you’re teaching your daughter.


You start off with accepting money to go on multiple dates. That’s fine. OK. But then, you introduce a man into your daughter’s life. A man who you have no idea what his background is. A man who could have a hidden agenda. You never know, right? Because it’s the internet. From what I read, you haven’t been seeing him too long.

Now, this man wants to buy your daughter a truck? You’re going to let it happen, right? You know what I call that? You’re a moocher. And I'm using the definition which states to get or take at another's expense. I know a few people like that. If you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket, sure, go ahead. Buy her the damn world, it’s okay that he has no idea who she is.

Ladies, there are so many of us. And I mean SO many. For those of you that are single, would you like to be paid to go on dates every time you go on one? Yeah, right? Sounds fun to get paid to date. That’s not reality though. Men already have to spend money on us, right? I don't understand the method behind paying to go on a date unless you're super ugly? Anyway, the website allows you to pay for a date. You might as well get a prostitute since you’re basically paying for sex (it's not happening now, but it's only a matter of time). Isn’t that what it comes down to?

You know what’s crazy? The title of the article is “Mother Supports Teenage Daughter By Being Paid To Date.” Teenagers are so impressionable and I worry about your daughter getting the wrong impression about who you are or are turning out to be as a parent. Maybe, you’ve done well so far, but now I question your methods. Is this a last resort type of situation? Would you be okay if your daughter accepted this lifestyle and thought it was okay to do this as a career because it’s, oh, I don’t know, easy?

Whatever your problems are, financially, or mentally, this is not a good model for your daughter to have. If anything, keep the guy away from your daughter, you don’t know him well enough. Keep that shit to yourself, the whole world doesn’t need to know how you hooch around to pay bills.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
