Hi all!
Just wanted to seek some advice from you guys... I have resigned from my job last year, intending to relocate overseas with my husband because of his secondment... While waiting for his visa to be approved, I fell pregnant... So now, we have decided that I will stay put in Singapore.. My SIL, after knowing that I'm not working, has decided that I should tutor her Daughter (in JC) pro bono.. She actually asked me in front of my Mum and MIL. Could I say no? After some consideration, I have agreed, since her Daughter failed her promos and only has a month to pass her supplementary papers. So she left her Daughter at my place on some weekdays and 2 full weekends (1000-1800hrs). Luckily, her Daughter passed her papers and I thought I was off the hook. Now she is asking me to continue tutoring her Daughter, pro bono of course, claiming that tutoring will make my child smarter.. I'm tired of this arrangement and told my Husband to reject her, but she kept badgering me. Should I tell her, I rather rest than tutor her Daughter or am I being too selfish.
Note: she can well afford a tutor... I don't know why I have to tutor her Daughter. It's not like I'm a full time tutor or a JC lecturer.. In order to tutor her, I have to spend all my time revising.
