This post left anonymously

My Dad is a liquor store owner and a porn director and I feel weird when people ask me what my father does for a living.

How am I supposed to tell people what he does without feeling stupid? When I tell people, they either laugh, look at me funny, or start asking 101 questions.
I don’t want to lie about my Dad’s occupation so how should I answer the question without feeling like the daughter of a freak? (Which he’s not by the way; porn is a billion dollar business and he loves the money; plus, he never liked regular jobs anyway; it bores him and he’s eccentric)
I’m only 15 by the way. He’s been in the business since before I was born.

Tell them he works in hospitality. Hospitality covers everything from serving and selling alcohol, to providing accomodation and entertainment.

how often do people ask you what your father does for a living. because people prety much never ask me what my dad does, it is not an everyday question.

One day in school I was fighting so they called my father to tell him I was being suspended and I was having a conversation with 1 of the few teachers that I actually like.
She was telling me that she was always a daddy’s girl too growing up but that she didn’t get to spend enough time with him because of his job and that’s when she asked,” Hey, what does your dad do for a living?”
And I was stuck!!
This is the kind of fate I want to avoid from now on but I HATE LYING about my dad’s occupation, its like living a lie so I just wanna know how I can tell people what he does without feeling uncomfortable.
Its not exactly like, ” Oh my dad’s a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, a judge, an actor….”
NO HE’S a liquor store owner and porn director!!! Not an easy topic to discuss with people (aside from my friends of course; they don’t care lol)

hmm, just say he is a director in amture films or mini movies, btw i dont want to try force ideas on u or anything but try not to think that porn is all very well and fine just because its a multi billion dollar industry. Many peoples lives are ruined thanks to porn, woman and men (but primarily woman) have done porn, and letter regretted it, and cant do anything about it because the company owns the photos. its degrading, imoral but sadly a way of life. its a drugs infested alcohol fuled industry that takes advantage of people. Then again not EVERYONE has it bad in the porn industry, but all u need to do is look at the statistics, 80% of woman in the US who do porn were abused as a child.
