or is it just me?
sigh I had a moan about her before (comes too late, cancels when she is sick, ends up giving dd a very short lesson because she lets the lesson before carry on into dd's for about 20 minutes so dd gets 20 mintues less etc etc) .
I was advised to change teacher but dd did not want to , so I nail a smile to my face and I pretend a friendliness I don't feel and put up with it - but I am really sick of it.
Yesterday she had a screaming fit at me in front of lots of parents and children. I really think I did nothing to provoke it and I don't ever scream at anyone. I was polite to her during the lesson and didn't really say anyhting much. Afterwards when lots of epople were milling about there , she whirled round and exploded - (Along the lines that I am a bad parent because my dd also does sport. What it has to do with violin that she plays sport at the weekend I don't know, considering she works hard at violin, never missed orchestra and practises about 2 hours a day. It in no way impedes playing her violin so wtf? Why the hell am I a bad parent because she plays hockey on Saturday mornings? Anyone? I have no idea at all.
On the weekend dd has 2 concerts with her orchestra and tonight an orchestra rehearsal to which she wants to go. I really feel like not going and also not ever going back to the lessons.
I suppose this is a mixture of AIBU (but not brave enough) and a moan and everything.
How do I put up with this teacher in a polite manner when I intensely intensely intensely dislike her? I try not to but she annoys me so much. Is there a trick I could be learning?
