shotover Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Had a BG friend tell me per email that her mother and little sister from Ubon are visiting her in Bkk for 2 weeks next month during the school holidays. She previously told me her mother and family did not know she slept with men for money. She said she would have to continue to work during their visit. Her 2 roomates work in beauty salons, though they like to get out and party occasionaly. I don't see how she can keep the nature of her work from mom, and maybe even little sister. It wouldn't surprise me if mom knows what she does since she gets a few thousand baht every month from older daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovineye Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 GFs cousin in Mae Hong Son said she wanted her youngest daughter to learn to cut ladies hair, because her older daughter is in BKK cutting hair and making 30,000 baht a month. Seemed to really believe it! Maybe a face saving thing, for all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 sooner or later parents will learn it, and most likely accept it. Not just because money was coming, but past a certain age, children are on their own. I've had girls tell me their father would kill them if he learnt (a figure of speech, I guess), some that their mother just told them "whatever you think is better for you" while never asking them to do it. And of course, some are plain greedy parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
check_bin_krap Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Sure her mum knows already. If she has been sending money. These things are just not spoken about. Where would a girl without education get the kind of money she probably is getting? And not only her family is likely to know. If she lives in a village, these communities are very transparant. Not that it matters that much, she won't be looked down on for it. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 "Sure her mum knows already. If she has been sending money." In spite of what they may say, I suspect it is the rare BG that is sending much money home. I few hundred or a few thousand baht gifts during visits is much more likely. But in this case suspect parent is aware of the deal as don't believe working 'the night shift' and maybe not coming home would go unnoticed by mother. But then, perhaps this comment was in the hope that he will give her funds so she does not have to work these two weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 >learn to cut ladies hair, because her older daughter is in BKK cutting hair and making 30,000 baht a month Technically, it is possible. The girl may be working in a hair dresing saloon but as a "side dish" - goes with saloon's customers, if they wish. 30K for that - no way, the saloon could be only a base, but freelancing has to make up for the rest.

rovineye Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 < the saloon could be only a base, but freelancing has to make up for the rest. GF told me later she would go to Singapore and work in Orchard Towers. Glad I never ran into her with GF. SHe might have recognized me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I hear that some tell their family that they are working as waitresses which obviously covers the evening working hours. I think it?s also likely that they try to ?concentrate? on STs in order to be back home a bit earlier than usual. Then again, I find it hard to believe that parents have no idea at all. I?d probably agree that the issue is not discussed too much in detail in order to save the face of all parties involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotover Posted September 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 What you say about not discussing to save face sounds very probable. I have had a BG tell me she can't stay all night because her mother is visiting her. Most likely a story to avoid LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
