I teach painting. Recently I found out that my niece has an amazing talent in painting and she also loves it so I suggested I could teach her. She said that she would love that but their parents ask them to pay for anything “unnecessary” from their own pocket money and she can’t afford it. I told her that she doesn’t have to pay and she agreed to let me teach her.
A few days ago my brother’s stepdaughter contacted me and asked if I will teach her how to paint as well. I asked her to send me some of her paintings and … well… let’s say she is worse than a little kid. The paintings were just bad but whatever, I teach anyone with any level.
So I told her the price and she said she can’t afford it and I told her to ask her parents to pay. A few minutes later sil called angry about why her child has to pay while I teach my niece for free. I told her that my niece is an amazing artist and it would be such a waste of talent if no one helped her so I’m using my free time to teach her but her daughter simply doesn’t have talent so I’m not gonna waste my time with her. She called me a jerk and hung up the phone
