Would you be embarrassed if your mom started pole dancing?

Question

I am 41 years old and I am having a lot of fun pole dancing. However my 20,18 and 12 year old think it is weird.

Answer 1

yes, i mean she probably wouldn't stop because i wanted her to... but if its for your own use  (not like at a club or pictures online :-/  ) then i wouldn't  have problems.

Answer 2

I take pole dancing in Vista, Ca.  I tried to get my mom to do it when she comes to visit hubby and I. She laughs and does the "well see". People don't realize how fun it is and physical good for you too.

Yet, she settled for belly dancing once I get her out of the "what everyone thinks of me" stage. It isn't about everyone else. It is about yourself now when it comes to trying something new and something that can benefit you positively.

I say, power to you.

Answer 3

"Oh God!....My Eyes!"

Answer 4

Would I be embarrassed? No. If anything, I'd encourage her.

I love pole dancing; it's a great, fun way to get fit.

I can understand your 12-year-old's reaction, but your other (ADULT) children can think it's "weird" all they want, they've grown up and have their own lives to live.

Have fun and don't worry about it.

Answer 5

Yes, I would think its weird.

Answer 6

Ok, if they were all 18+ No big deal

but you have a middle schooler, what if their friends found out.

That would kill them. Honestly.

Answer 7

Um yea it would be totally awkward because when people see pole dancing they think of things that are dirty which would weird them out so have them cover their eyes please.

Answer 8

Um. Yes.

Answer 9

I wouldn't be embarrassed.  I would just think she had gone off her medication.  She's in her seventies.  :-)

Answer 10

It's your life, and if your kids a. know about it and b. care, it's still your life to live. As long as you're not inviting them to watch, they can mind their own business.

Answer 11

Tell them they're just jealous!!!  Invite them to take it up too, if you want to tease them.
