    I was once approached about private tuition for a 12month old. The mum wanted me to do 2 hr lessons. I declined when she started asking me about how I would structure my lesson!

    While the mother clearly needs help (in more ways than one), I fail to understand why you would refuse to take on a gig with easy money...

    Gaga, Gugu, Dada, Mama - here is a few hundred $$$

    I don't think handling a 12 month old and keeping them happy and entertained for 2 hours qualifies as 'easy' Thats more like babysitting work rather than teaching.

    Maybe if I put a clause in the contract saying they pay me extra per gram of shit or vomit on my clothes at the end.

    Also I got the feeling the mum wouldn't be satisfied with goo goo ga ga. Probably wanted us reciting Shakespeare

    ...or want their babies to explain the theory of general relativity to them. Oh, and for good measure, also work out the formula for general relativity too.
