hi

i'm just wondering if anyone has had their neighbours notice the clients coming to the house. if they have did they say anything to you and if they did what did you say to them.

i have a young child who is in school when clients come but im probubally being silly but what do you say if people do notice

Well I say hi and bye and make small talk with all my neighbours and as I respect them and I do what I like within reason.

With working in the same place as you bring up your child may cause neighbours to wonder more than they should. It shouldn't be an issue but where children are involved it can be and worst comes to worst, it will be. I would rather risk working from a hotel or in a room than get social services involved.

No offence to you or anyone else but I would not want social services to intrude in my life if I could avoid it.

+1 , you probably know that you work safely, don't put your child at risk etc etc but people not in our line of work usually don't understand it at all, I know we aren't allowed to mention other forums and sorry if this is against the rules? I read on a well known women's forum about a suspected prostitute in a street, the lady that posted was in a panic that there was a child in the premises and she was worried that men that visit prostitutes were possibly all paedophiles!

That says a lot about how much civvies understand about us, unless you can work elsewhere just be discreet and polite is my advice x

There was another thread here a while back regarding working from home where children are, I know it's cheaper and more convenient but not worth the risk, my girl is 17 so nearly an adult but I still wouldn't work from anywhere she lived x

my child is never here when i see clients. and i wont do anything in school holidays i only do work from 10 until 2, and only 2 clients a week,there no way i want ss invovled as then my family will know. look like i will have to think about out calls sometimes

thanks rose

Many parents are indiscreet regards what they talk about in front of children, even about themselves or own family. The last thing you would want is the neighbours children telling all at school that your child's mother is a prostitute.

Rosaley, your child is more important than two clients, trust me.  I had SS involved in my life 20+ years ago and it took me two years and a lot of hard work and "arguing with them" plus a lot of stress to get my children back.

My problem was not SW related but the outcome was the same.  Don't mention SS within my earshot in real life or you will see my hackles rise immediately and drastically.

Is there any hotels that do day rooms nearby that you could use once a week or something?

I've had the unfortunate experience of neighbours cottoning on & getting a visit from the old bill :-( I don't have children, so can't comment on that. I personally think a neighbour tried booking me for an incall as the police turned up with a print out of my website  so wasn't in a place to deny it really. They told me to stop as I'm breaking the law (no Mr police officer, your 'keeping an unruly home' law is outdated).

Sticking to outcalls probably is a safer option.

Good luck in whatever you decide
