We have a friend who's a single mom and who put herself through nursing school stripping. We didn't find out until very near the end of her schooling. We were horrified and offered her money to help her stop. She refused, saying she didn't need charity and besides, most of the other strippers had gotten together to provide and share babysitting duties and she didn't feel she could abandon them. She escaped the alcohol and drug abuse that's rife in the sex industry, but she has many sad stories to tell of others who weren't so fortunate.

All in all, stripping is far from ideal employment, but sometimes life hands us tough choices.

I made a bad choice when I got married young. Why should anyone else pay for my mistake?

That's what's the big mistake of the woman with the kindergardner. She is pursuing a very hazardous profession, when she is the sole-supporter of her young child. Not much difference between her and a 3rd world chemical plant worker, coming home covered with toxins that the young child, day after day, is exposed to.

Or to you hold to that silly Clinton-era "compartmentalization" theory. Hope not, some things just do not compartmentalize well.
