Would you leave pretty bratty 14 yr old girl alone regularly with decent-looking young male piano teacher with no visible mention of partner?

Well would you? Or is my mind screwed up by Nabakov and The Police etc etc during my impressionable years?

Given that you've qualified that she is a brat, then clearly he's a predator but you can absolve yourself of any responsibility. If she wasn't a brat however that would be quite different.

Oh hang on, maybe not....

bigbluebus · 26/06/2017 16:41

Are you implying that the teacher might be a danger to the girl or that the girl might be a danger to the young male teacher?

Allabitmuchisntit · 26/06/2017 16:41

Sorry, am at a total loss here.
Cultural heritage? What does that mean?
Is this a teacher you're considering or have already booked lessons with?
So a standard male married teacher would be ok?
But an attractive single one is considered a threat?
Or is it your teen that worries you?

fluffiphlox · 26/06/2017 16:41

I think you're making yourself sound a bit nuts to be honest. Poor bloke if the first thing anyone thinks about him is that he is some sort of predatory, piano-playing pervert with a penchant for pupils.

Sunnymorningwithbacon · 26/06/2017 16:41

Obv he wouldn't be interested if she was a minger, huh?

titchy · 26/06/2017 16:41

Actually thinking about it, it's the ugly piano teachers you want to watch.

Evelight · 26/06/2017 16:42

Sorry I actually have to run now. I just came across him on a local website advertising things and his references checked out. Don't know what DBS is not in UK.

I actually did think that it would not be fair to him either.

The cultural heritage- just grew up in the nineties, diet of Prime of Ms Jean Brody, Lolita, The Police, that stuff. Nobody else? Just me?

It's only ugly single men who still live at home who are nonces so she'd be totes safe hon

/sarcasm

Sunnymorningwithbacon · 26/06/2017 16:42

How do you visibly mention something anyway?

WTF?

MacarenaFerreiro · 26/06/2017 16:43

He's quite obviously only gone through all those years of learning to play piano so he can perve over 14 year old girls. Hmm

What makes you think that a grown man would have any interest whatsoever in a 14 year old? So weird.

Sunnymorningwithbacon · 26/06/2017 16:43

So you seriously expect him to have in his advert

"Piano teacher available. But I have a partner so your pretty bratty teen is totes safe"

What the ??

TheNiffler · 26/06/2017 16:44

I grew up with the same, and nope.

FakePlasticTeaLeaves · 26/06/2017 16:44

Sunnymorningwithbacon And he won't be a predator if he was ugly. It's just obviously how it works.

Allabitmuchisntit · 26/06/2017 16:44

Sunnymorning -

With a big written sign of course! Grin

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 26/06/2017 16:44

I grew up in the 90s too, but I clearly have been misunderstanding the phrase cultural heritage for many years...Confused
Your post makes no sense, but calling your 14 year old bratty isn't very nice OP.

MacarenaFerreiro · 26/06/2017 16:45

Yes, just you.

Well aware of the Police song but still, WTF?

FakePlasticTeaLeaves · 26/06/2017 16:45

To have a customer? You must be joking.

Sunnymorningwithbacon · 26/06/2017 16:45

Nope coz all predators have the film star looks and chiselled jaw fake?

user1498491851 · 26/06/2017 16:45
Confused
Crunchymum · 26/06/2017 16:46

OP, are you the mother of the brat?

Sunnymorningwithbacon · 26/06/2017 16:46

Sandwich board outside

"Piano lessons here. No partner so don't be sending teensage girls"

He might be gay.

Sunnymorningwithbacon · 26/06/2017 16:47

Is she pretty bratty or pretty, bratty?

PotteringAlong · 26/06/2017 16:47

I'd stay, else they'll be having sex on that piano before you can say "please tickle my keys"...

iamavodkadrinker · 26/06/2017 16:47

You're proper crackers aren't you OP.
