Do you feel sorry for kids whose moms are prostitutes? I do! They have to go from home to home with strangers they don't know! Big Grin

I know that some mothers feel like they "have" to prostitute to make money and take care of their kids. But I just don't feel like that's true. There are other ways besides selling your body for sex.

McDonald's always has openings...even if you don't make nearly as much, I would choose flipping burgers over prostitution any day.

I've never really found anything wrong with prostitution. If you have the opportunity, you don't mind doing it, and you take precautions, who cares? What do you think I'd be doing if I had the body for it? Though I do feel bad for those who don't want to do it but have to. I feel sorry for any kid who has a mother who doesn't want to do it but has to because that implies they are just scraping by and having your mother in unhappy like that is sad to see. But some women I'm sure can make lots of money, don't mind it, and don't let it interfere with the family (by bringing home random guys to her kids every night and such), so in that case it may be a little awkward for the kid, especially if people find out, but that's it.

I don't know what to say about the whole prostitution thing besides the fact that it sucks that some people actually choose to resort to that for a living.

omg I remember that song...wow it's old.
But yea prostites can be looked @ from both directions. I mean they could be out there just trying to make a living or they could be out there cuz...well cuz they want to be,I guess. I feel sorry for their children just cuz they have to be put in that situation. And I don't think their moms take them with them when they go **** somebody.

Don't they usually do it at the guy's house? *scratches head* I'm confused. I think people look down on prostitues too much though. Some people have no other way of living. I kind fo feel bad for them. I haven't heard that song in a while as well. What was the tune again?

I remember that song and it's true to. Well atleast I think it is. Prostitutes with children are just trying to support there children... well that is unless they got pregnant by a soliciter.

I don't know, I think it is wrong and that the woman should either put her child up for adoption or go into a shelter instead of leaving her baby at home with someone she hardly knows.

Pride hurts, but sometimes you've just got to do what you've got to do. (even if it is wrong)

"What would you do" --City High

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup, about
5 or 6 strippers tryin to work for a buck
and I-took one girl outside wit me, her name
was Loni, she went to Junior High wit me,
I said, Why you up in there dancin for cash?,
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said..

[Chorus:]

What would you do?, if your son was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and thee only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life

Girl you aint the only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse to be livin all crazy
then she looked me right square in the eye
and said everyday I wake up hopin' to die,
she said- ***** I know about pain cuz,
me and my What Would You Do ran away, so my daddy
couldn't rape us, before I was a teenager
I done been through more ****, you can't even
relate ta!

[Chorus]

Ooooo
Then she said, What would you do? if....
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
What would you do? if....
Cuz I wouldn't want my baby, to go through what
I went through
What would you do? if....
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
What would you do? if...
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it

Oooo, oooo, oooo-(yea, yea, yea, yea)

[Chorus]

What would you do? if yo son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life (Come on)

[Chorus]

Holy hell. I haven't heard that song in years. I used to know all the words to it, but now all I can remember is "What would you do if your mom was at home", and I don't even think that is the right lyrics. Wow. What an unexpected bout of nostalgia.

I think prostitution is sad. And yes, I feel bad for a child whose parents have chosen to make money that way. But I think for some people that is the only way to make a living. And the stigma of prostitution causes society to look down upon their parents and eventually the child.
