Pole in grandma's bedroom.

[Anonymous]

My mother was 32 when she had me. I had my first child at 23, making her a 55 year old grandma. For the record, I was married already, and still am, to the same man - I'm 35 now, we have 2 kids, and neither my mother nor I have never touched a stripper pole (although I did attend a bachelorette party at a male strip club once. Lame and cheesy.) People really need to stop with the stereotypes. A 50something grandma is hardly in "Teen Mom" territory. I've met grandmas in their late 30s and early 40s -- THAT is unusual. Being in your 50s as a grandma usually just means both mother and daughter had their first kids within a few years of 25. Not a scandal.

Have *ever* touched a stripper pole. Jesus. That'll teach me not to post at 3 AM.

I'm 52. I in no way consider myself old, OP. Why would it shock you that a woman in her 50's is sexual, has a sex life, embraces her sexuality, and wants to perform for her lover(s)?


You sound pitiful to me. Get your mind out of your grandma's bedroom.

Seriously? My mom had me when she was 27, I had my first child at 27, both of us were married at the time. What's the big deal? Not everyone waits until 35+ to have kids.

Gosh this poor grandma. She must wonder where she went wrong to raise an uptight DCUM.

Only in DCUM is a grandmother in her 50s considered a teen slut.

I, too, had no idea the "objection," and my mom didn't become a grandmother until her late 60s.

You realize most people with poles use them for pole dancing which is actually a legitimate workout? Not for "performing for their lovers."

This! Grandma makes it uncool immediately.

She has the only t.v. in her house in her bedroom. She has the pole in her bedroom. She's performing and probably watching porn too.

The best policy is just not let your mind go there. A kid isn't going to think anything about it. This is grandma's personal beeswax and she ain't that old, btw.

I don't see a problem with it Grandma is showing that just because your over 50 it doesn't mean granny panties, sweat pants, and sitting on the couch. It means exercising, exploring, and having fun!

I'm not understanding your concern here, OP.
It's just. a. pole.
Nobody is going to do a sexy dance on it while your precious snowflake is watching cartoons.
In many years to come, when your child has learned to associate a pole with strip-tease - and my 5th grader and his friends have no yet done so! - she will probably not be of the age to go into that bedroom to watch cartoons.

She'll be glued to her phone instead, texting friends. That's when you'll need to be vigilant about sexting. Not pole-watching. Duh.
