They look like your average soccer moms, but they don't act like them!

They're buying those juice boxes with paychecks from their X-rated careers! Tyra talks to moms who support their families by working in adult entertainment. Get the dish from these unapologetic moms who don't see anything wrong with their sexy careers -- and them from their upset daughters who think their mother's careers are having a negative impact on their lives.

I think that everybody's situation is not the same. Tyra, don't you think that these women wanted a better choice? Of course they did. You don't know how hard it is to see your children not being able to eat, not being able to pay your bills. It's hard. Your audience is so fake. They only agree with you because your famous and they want to be on your good side. That's how people behave when they want to be your friend. Consider that the next time you want to judge people. When you have kids the playing field is not even. There are choices you have to make in an instance. Some of them you may not like. I know that you want to do good but you make it worst by airing people's lives on television and then making your auidence judge these people and make them feel stupid. Have a heart. You were one of the fortunate ones. We are not so lucky Think about it Tyra. Your views are not the only one that counts.

just because Tyra is one of the few women out there who has morals and family values doesnt make her closed minded or old fashioned. Just like myself and all women out there she has her sexuality, but that doesnt mean you have to spread them to the whole world. if you choose to be a mom, grow up and set a good example. Stop raising future whores!

Hey Tyra, I dont agree with most of the comments here. I dont think that your being hard on these moms at all. Mothers who are taking care of their children and are strippers at the same time are setting a horrible examples for their children. Most likely ( not all the time), the children may follow in their mothers foot steps. Also, the mothers can give their children any form of STD, which is totally unfair to a young child to receive without having sex. I know this is a mothers career and a mothers life and the child has ntohing to do with the mother's career, but it does impact the child SO MUCH. There are so many other ways for these mothers to make money.. stripping is definitely not the answer! Its totally possible to make money and hold on to your dignity all the time, many mothers do it! Im not judging these mothers, i just think that having children and stripping at the same time is a totally wrong turn in their lives.

People should not judge others, without walking in their shoes.

I saw this episode today, 06/25. Tara is a HYPOCRITE. You got where you are using your body, Tara. How dare you bring those women on, judge them and browbeat them. I am a single mother of two. And though I could never do what those women or you do for a living, I would never fault them for it. They have done what they've had to to provide good lives for there children. What about the fathers of their children. No one is going after them asking why they're not taking care of their children so their mothers don't need to do these things. And education isn't a guarantee to a better life like everyone in your audience seemed to think. I have a bachelors degree in education. Want to know what it has got me? Nothing. In Dec. I got laid off from my job as a private school teacher. I have never been able to afford a decent life for my children. I bet those women actually have houses that their children are getting to grow up in. We don't have our own home. Me and my daughter live in a basement apartment in Utah that is way overdue for being updated properly. My car is a 1981 and been sitting at the shop since Jan. 20th so we've been without transportation. And I cannot collect unemployment, because my last two places of employment were non-profits and do not pay into the unemployment system. I've had to rely on my meager savings which is about to run out. I have a job interview tomorrow. And I am hoping and praying that they will hire me, because I barely have two months of rent left in my accounts.

Why is Tyra so close minded about women's sexuality??? I mean, did she get teleported here from the 1800s? I am a college student and my Mom is a dominatrix. She is a great Mom who happens to have her sexual preference. I do not have a problem with what she does because she is a human being with her own needs, and she has always fulfilled her role as my Mom first. Just because you are a Mom doesn't mean your sexuality ends and just because she is getting her needs met does not make her a bad Mom.

When i was 17 i had to run away from a home that was unstable to say the least. i became a stripper when i was 18 because i was living in a car it was a job where i came in when i needed to come in. or when i could come in. i think it is so mean that you tried to make these women feel bad about themselves. their kids are spoiled little brats they should look at it this way. they are lucky their mom would do anything to make sure they were okay. they need to stop worrieing about what people think of them not everyone is going to like you. its not easy to get up on stage when sometime you only go home with $20 and work 10 hours. i got raped and am now pregnant im 5 months but not really showing i still nhave to dance or i would be homeless. does that make me a hoible mom. no! im doing what i can to keep my son. not nice tyra

I personally don't think things should change as long as the child or children are small. I think once the child is old enough to figure things out they should stop or if the teenager is grown and is having trouble in school with gossip about the mother. I was once a dancer and think if I was to ever separate from my child's father I would go back into it. You need to make a living as long as it's not prostitution.
