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?

This can't be real surely? Shock

NotYoda · 26/06/2017 17:27

What does ^bratty6 mean in this context?

This thread smells

Bluntness100 · 26/06/2017 17:27

I assume this is some sick joke. To assume the man will be some for of paedophile and will attempt to rape a 14 year old is ridiculous. And yes it's rape at that age.

Yes it's just you. There is no cultural heritage there to blame. And is it your own daughter you are calling a brat? And your only concern is what your family would say?

i really hope this is just a sick joke.

Stop picking on the OP because she is influenced by the 90s.

I grew up in the 90s and wear my union jack dress everyday, I can't find anyone to trade pogs with and I have a cry every 30 minutes as my Tamagotic dies. The 90s were just so influential :-(

Limitededitionseveninch · 26/06/2017 17:29

I wouldn't. In fact, you are absolutely failing in your duty as a parent unless you employ an elderly, married, female piano teacher.

Maman79 · 26/06/2017 17:32

Is she pretty bratty or pretty, bratty?

ghostyslovesheets · 26/06/2017 17:33

best lock 'bratty' teen in the house until she is a 45 year old woman with a hairy chin then - because obviously every single, attractive, male teacher will not be able to control his lust Hmm

seriously OP have a word with yourself

user1497880339 · 26/06/2017 17:34

Sounds to me as if your trust issues are with the 'pretty bratty' 14 year old - if she's been taught about boundaries and what is and isn't acceptable there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

yaela123 · 26/06/2017 17:36

OP please come back and explain

AnnieMouse22 · 26/06/2017 17:37

R u describing your own daughter as 'bratty'? Why? Does she know you describe her this way? How does she feel about it? Does she know u don't trust her with her dishy music teacher? How does she feel about that? Interesting.

NotYoda · 26/06/2017 17:37

Fake Grin

You're twisting my melons

BitOutOfPractice · 26/06/2017 17:37

How utterly bizarre!

ArchieStar · 26/06/2017 17:37

Is this for real? Confused

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 17:38

There are so many things wrong with this I don't know where to begin. Baffling.

waitforitfdear · 26/06/2017 17:39

The police was the 80s love. Wasn't Lolita 60/70s??

You are either the terrified piano tutor, the presumable sex crazed bratty teen or the barking mad mom. Or maybe the pet dog.

Lweji · 26/06/2017 17:40

What Police song?

Ooooooh! I should start paying attention to song lyrics!

Make sure you make her wear her chastity belt.

IHateUncleJamie · 26/06/2017 17:42

My ACTUAL christ. This has got to be fake. 😱

I hope.

usernamenonumber · 26/06/2017 17:42

I get it.
I think OP is worried that the teenager will come on to the teacher, not the other way round.

BitOutOfPractice · 26/06/2017 17:43

The cultural heritage- just grew up in the nineties, diet of Prime of Ms Jean Brody, Lolita, The Police

Prime of Miss Jean Brodie: novel 1961, film 1969
Lolita: novel 1955, film 1961
Police: Don't Stand So Close to Me: 1980

Confused
Catsize · 26/06/2017 17:44

Are you worried for the man's personal safety because your bratty 14yr old might attack him?...

Maudlinmaud · 26/06/2017 17:44

Grin nice one op. Really pulling a few chains this afternoon. Bored?

YesMadamDeputySpeaker · 26/06/2017 17:45

Lweji Don't Stand So Close to Me. Glee did a nice cover of it with 'Young Girl'.

IHateUncleJamie · 26/06/2017 17:45

I still can't get over the OP's use of cultural heritage 😳

motherinferior · 26/06/2017 17:45

I frequently leave my newly-14yo alone with her personable and delightful male SAXOPHONE teacher if I have to go out to chamber choir. (We're all about the musical debauchery here in the Inferiority Complex.)

motherinferior · 26/06/2017 17:46

It's an art teacher in Miss Jean Brodie. Humbert Humbert is the lodger in Lolita. Just for info.
