I Have Given Everything

[silka]

I teach a small class of Seniors every Monday morning, for two hours. I only charge £1, any photo copies I charge 10p a copy. I normally put on a little continental spread at Xmas free of charge. I am a very giving, kind person.
I have been doing this for 3 years now, and have really enjoyed it. Now I feel I am being taken avantage of, and realise everyone is not as kind as I am.
Some of us have gone to night school and know what the charges are there.
I am not looking to make a profit, but a show of their gratitude would be nice.
I put a lot of my time and effort into it and they never offer any help with the coffee or anything else, they expect me to do everything. I think I may close as it is starting to get me down, what do you think ?

Point taken Silka......apologies......the written word can be misconstrued, and we ALL read messages differently? I take nothing away from what you do...very generous soul, but, all i was saying was......if its causing you this amount of angst.......walk away!
However...well done you if you stick it out. X
