House moms - How many clubs have them?

I have only seen them in 2. In Atlanta, the Old Crazy Horse saloon (now Rumors) and Follies. They actually had 2 baby showers ITC for the Follies house mom. Sorry I missed those. :)

In some posts it sounds like a day care worker, but in others it sounds like a person that tends to and gives advice to the strippers.
They provide the services that Jack just described. Many times they sell them dresses/outfits, and provide food, makeup, etc.
The vast majority of clubs I've worked at have had house moms. The only one I remember that did not was Little Darlings in Kalamazoo. Also, Admiral Theater in Chicago didn't have an "official" house mom, but their female manager stayed in the dressing room with the girls and basically did the job of a house mom (although she was kinda self-absorbed and not as helpful as other house moms.)
a21985 - with regard to Landing Strip... that's the first club I ever worked at. I know exactly what house mom you are talking about I think, unless the girls said bad stuff about her, that would throw me off because imo she was one of the best house moms I have ever worked at. She would bring in full-course meals, sometimes with multiple meal choices. And she took care of me all night the one time I got roofied. Her name starts with an N if that helps.
None of the clubs in Fort Myers are really big enough to have house moms, but I can see the value of having someone available to mentor and counsel dancers, head off conflicts, and reduce turnover
In the southeast, the practice of having a house mom seems to be more sporadic.
Absolutely nothing you just described in any way resembles a house mom. I think you are confused as to what a house mom is...
Place that used to be in San Mateo, Club-Ante.

Not me Papi, not for all the tea in China, just like I would never want to manage a club. I experience enough goofy stripper drama just dealing with a few strippers on any given night. I can't imagine all the ridiculous drama that a house-dad would have to deal with. No gracias amigo.

Been there, done that Papi. A long time ago I used to regularly hook up with a hot, young house-mom who temporarily gave up dancing. She eventually did return to dancing though.

No, Gammnut, it seems you are the one who doesn't know what de facto means; by your logic and from what you described, every lazy stripper who rarely does VIP but chats with other dancers is a de facto housemom which is hilariously wrong.
A better example of a de facto housemom is the one I described who used to work at Admiral - she was a manager, but did the actual job of a housemom without having the official title. THAT is de facto housemom, not some young stripper who is actually a stripper like you described... lol. And I'm the ignorant one? What planet are you on?
Btw even wikipedia explains briefly what a housemom is...

Closest to it has just been female bar tender / shift managers.
