Vogue Williams

At that point, it felt less like a reasonable request and more like she was implying I was some kind of creep or boundary crosser.

Even after I'd already reassured her there was nothing identifiable in the image and I had no intention of posting it anywhere.

I sat on it for two days and realized, I think I'm just done.

I'm 30 years old, stressed from work all week, trying to build my own adult life.

And I suddenly felt exhausted by the idea of continuing to deal with anxious or overbearing parents on my weekends.

So I sent a polite message saying that my work hour is increasing.

I didn't think I could continue teaching on weekends anymore.

I apologized for the inconvenience, said it had been lovely teaching the kids and wished them all the best.

She never replied.

She also never paid me.

It's been three weeks.

Now I'm wondering if I overreacted and punished this family over one awkward interaction.

Or if it was just the final push that made me realize I'm done teaching.

Aita for quitting.

I get that parents have boundaries, but...

what are you going to do with a picture of a piece of Lego?

Yeah, it is ridiculous, but it's the principle that she's worried about the mother.

So I can understand it from both sides.

I think, you know, you could have easily just said, yeah, no problem.
