Sex work is work
Today, I got a call from my dad asking if I was a porno actress. I am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I got turned down for yet another job, my dad glanced up at me and casually remarked that porn is always a stable market. FML
Today, my mother told her friends that I work as a call girl. I'm a call center agent. FML
Today, at dinner, I was talking to my parents about a movie quote. I couldn't remember what movie it was from. Then I remembered. It was a porno. FML
Today, my dad interrupted my job interview with a phone call, just to say, "I fucked your mom." No shit, dad. FML
Today, I called my dad to let him know some details for my wedding had changed. It would have been really nice if he had paused the porno I could clearly hear in the background. FML
Today, I was called a pervert. On a phone sex line. FML
Today, I asked my 10-year-old son what he wants to be when he grows up. He smiled broadly and said "A porn star!" FML
Today, I was playing a game with my family where we had to say the name of an actor/actress that started with a certain letter. When I said mine, my dad grounded me because he knew it was a pornstar. Now my mom is mad at my dad for watching porn too. FML
Today, I walked in on my dad giving my mom a striptease. FML
Today, the phone rang, it was some woman who wanted to speak to my dad. “It’s probably his mistress,” I said jokingly. Turns out it was. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Surely that's the kind of thing you should disclose to those close to you? To avoid situations such as this..

OMG ... That was the best comment!

I don't understand why she deserved it...? Its a job like any other.

Yes, but she deserves that phone call because she chose not to tell her family and her dad found out by watching her. I would tell my family to avoid this awkward situation because eww.

But it isn't though. It's one thing to come home and say "hey, I'm an engineer" vs "I'm a **** star." Both would have very different reactions.

but its not a job like any other. Otherwise this would not be an FML. Consider the difference... "Honey, did you build that bridge I drove across yesterday?" "Honey, did you star in that **** movie I fapped to yesterday?"

I have a lot of friends who are sex workers, and a couple of them were disowned by family because of it. Sex work is a career that people do choose but it's not widely respected and sometimes it just isn't safe or feasible to tell family. We don't know enough about her situation to say she deserves it for not telling her family. Maybe it wasn't safe for her to disclose.

and most people probably use the services that this job provides. im guessing most of the "you deserved" it people are hypocrites. hope all s well at your end OP!!

Just remember, OP, whatever you're comfortable with doesn't matter; it's much more important to ensure other people, especially family members, are comfortable. You are not your own person, and your job is to cater to the expectations of society. Not to mention, societal norms never change. That's why we still spend the twenty or so years we live as nomadic hunters, making sacrifices to numerous deities. I cannot stress enough how bad it is so do something others may perceive as abnormal or worthy of shame.

I seriously hope you're joking #22

Even if you're unsure about the rest of the post, how could you possibly take "That's why we still spend the twenty or so years we live as nomadic hunters, making sacrifices to numerous deities" seriously?

This is heavily coated in sarcasm #26, I wouldn't worry too much

I am trying to figure out why this comment was down voted at all, the best I can come up with is that some people thought this very obviously sarcasm drenched comment seriously

#52 - You can't see how people might disagree with this comment? Your life is not all about yourself. Of course, you should spend a significant amount of your time with making other people happy instead of just yourself.
Tripartita 45
You really don't think there is a middle ground between "making other people happy instead of just yourself" and my sarcastic comment? I implied she shouldn't feel ashamed for a currently stigmatized profession, not that she has to be some narcissist.
hipposteve 21
That conversation sounds unavoidably awkward. Own up to your actions, seems like he already found out. Much luck OP!

It's your fault for choosing a ***** job. If you didn't want this to happen you shouldn't have become a *****

Shes not a damn *****

You're a ******* asshole. I hope that you choke to death on a dick.

that's her job

It's shocking how judgemental people can be. OP could be really happy with her life. Shame on you for trying to make her feel bad because she doesn't live up to YOUR standards.

The thought just made me cringe. Just the awkwardness of the situation. Anything involving your parents knowing part of your sex life, is awful. Hahaha. I've been married five years and I still refuse to believe they know we have sex.

Can't say you didn't deserve it lol

Hey HE was the one watching ****, not only that he was watching **** of his daughter so he is the one in the wrong here

it doesn't say that the dad was watching. Someone could have told him, which is far more likely...and less gross.

Along with there being nothing wrong with watching ****.
