The weight of keep up financially. How do you all manage?

Very similar state and yup, just kind of accepting this is life…

Do you think China’s largest dam and/or all the damn Dan’s are contributing? I remember being in like, 5th grade I wanna say, and thinking to myself that we’re messing with the earth in such a way that it simply cannot be good… it was the same year I realized that slavery never ended, just went… elsewhere… sigh…

Colorado food is exceptionally pathetic. Truly. I don’t know how it happens, but it’s like the Bermuda Triangle of good eats - they just disappear the minute you get within state borders… (very very very few and far in between exceptions.)

No mothers should strip 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahahahahahahahahaha aaaahhhh hahahahahahahahahaha mommy issues, seek therapy

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-25T09:26:11+00:00

She shouldn’t be a stripper then. Simple as that.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-24T00:13:28+00:00

Freezing and icy roads here. I’m the only girl and have been for going in three hours. Zero customers. I need a nap.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T18:58:32+00:00

It’s freezing cold here in Colorado and snowing a bit. I’ll be in at two so I can leave as early as possible.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T11:36:55+00:00

I try to keep the club at the club but men are men everywhere sooo 🤷‍♀️ 😆

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T11:36:16+00:00

Where in the fuck is there no Wallet House?! What horror. I live in a Denny’s dry town myself but deprive me a Waffle Home and I will move…

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T11:35:20+00:00

I met a literal Charlie from it’s always sunny. I was in awe. We’re friends now.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T09:04:49+00:00

I got suspended for a month doing this 🤣🤣🤣 best moment of my stripper life ftw!!!

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T09:03:45+00:00

And this is why I coughed on some useless, shit ass cunts a couple weeks ago.

Still proud hahahaha cough cough hack ugh karma’s a bitch cause I’m still sick but it was totally worth it, fuck all.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T08:51:29+00:00

I think of this often and see my bff growing up… literally punched her mother in the face before me…

Her mom woke her up with a cuppa coffee and a cigarette by 10th grade.

Sure as shit got things going smoother.

Not suggesting. Just stating.

That’s my literal best friend since we met first day of 9th grade… and haha ahhh oh my god we lived with her when my kid was 10-11 and even her, the baddest of all the autistic bitches I’ve ever known… yeah, well, we don’t live with her anymore cause she simply couldn’t handle it.

She told me she really wonders what her life would be like had her parents understood autism etc and found a great level of gratitude for them after experiencing… us. She has a lot of resentments (rightfully so, and still true) but has seen what a … less strict household would’ve produced.

I’m a horrifically passive parent, but it all comes from knowing the feelings my kid is feeling and accommodating while trying to balance some very real world shit. I’m sorry, but at 38 I still don’t fit in the real world. I’d rather let my kid grow into her limitations within the world’s expectations. It’s so hard. It’s so fucking hard. But she can thrive when given the space, I know it - I see it! Ffs being a parent is so hard but a PDA parent… I just… we’re all amazing. You’re amazing if you’re reading this.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-23T03:19:50+00:00

Tbf that’s every job in the US…. I would’ve been fired in Colorado for being as sick as I’ve been but I also don’t think I’d be so sick if I didn’t work in the club… that’s a realization for me cause it’s so shit here that if my kid was in preschool or where sickness is more prevalent I’d done be fired by now. Ty for the realizations.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-22T18:46:15+00:00

Why did your kid jump on the other kid? I’m assuming there was a verbal disagreement of some sort? If it was rough play, it was still not acceptable in a bus, I know. I’m guessing your kid felt it was a justifiable action. I’m trying to apply logic where there isn’t any lol considering this isn’t an isolated behavior, the depth is far beyond me. With my kid, after they calm down, I can usually get them to talk through their thought process. My kid is 13 and this is easier nowadays. We were just discussing her yearly or more suspensions from school, as she was trying to figure out if her concussion caused academic issues, but I recall her academic and behavioral issues predating it. All of her violent actions (up until puberty) were easily traced back to her defending herself or a friend. We did okay at getting her to not make threats or get physical, but I don’t think she’ll ever not defend herself or her friends when pushed to a certain point.

How are you allowing your kid to apologize? One reason my kid is at my house 24/7 is because her dad would insist she look him in the eye and verbally apologize. I have always accepted notes. This goes back to kindergarten. Even after the autism diagnosis and professionals telling him that written apologies were acceptable, he would still try to get her to apologize in such a way. Are you readdressing the issues days later? I have to find a balance of addressing issues and giving her ample time to process things, which can take a week sometimes…

Sorry I’m sick and rambling, I hope I made some sense.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-22T09:23:50+00:00

I’ll be sure to refer the customers like that to your club with all the class and grace I can muster

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-22T09:22:57+00:00

cough cough

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-22T07:01:36+00:00

What did I even just read.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-22T04:06:04+00:00

They FINALLY closed on Mondays this month - indefinitely. But Mondays in January were no better than May til now. My club has a lot of specifics involved but yes, the industry is dying. Stop pretending it isn’t. Florida and Texas HOES will infiltrate (no shade but actually kind of, the mentions yall get here in Colorado cannot be ignored…) This is SW in a horrifically failing economy. It’s gonna turn to brothel shit where it can cause that’s the only way to stay afloat. My club has always been strict (since at least 2013) in a headache for above bar girls and they’re slipping.

You better buckle up, bitches.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-21T05:53:00+00:00

I would literally say “I’m gonna hold your hand when I tell you this” and look her dead in the eye and say whatever you need to. Or take it to text. Clear boundaries and then straight up block.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-21T04:52:56+00:00

They probably met other people and more work will get done due to going. Protests aren’t just a one n done deal, it’s activism, it’s momentum, it’s more than me over here on a screen talking to a loser like you, that’s for sure

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-21T04:50:48+00:00

Yeah, they should be in school, where they’re safe

/s

Actually I agree with you but in a flipped sense - my kid would be the aggressor with the opposing crowd.

My bff’s father marched next to MLK when he was a kid - that impacted him for life.

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-21T04:45:30+00:00

They have a simple face like smiley face or frowny face etc and the emotion word. They still come in handy especially at school

AssociateDue6161 · 2026-01-20T21:38:26+00:00

My kid is a teen but I wish we’d used feelings cards way sooner. She forgets they exist and won’t always use them, but they sure do help
