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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
