That's the tragedy of having a narc parent though isn't it- they never centre you in anything that they do, you are always an afterthought. Everything is to suit their needs and aims and they are unable or unwilling to place themselves in your shoes. She couldn't possibly comprehend that it might be a good thing to buy one less bastard ink-blue sideboard or two and instead pay for his piano tuition for an entire year, as it would be beneficial to his growth. Christ, every time he is in the background of a picture he's always hunkered over a device (or maybe a book) and completely disengaged from her. He's an accessory.
It's incredibly damaging to a young mind- he will go through life thinking everything is his fault until one day he has a moment of realisation that she is a PoS and cut her out of his life.
Sorry...bit heavy...and it makes me really sad for him. That's the worst thing that she has done- of all things- treat him like he's second best while she thinks she's the best parent who ever walked the Earth. Vile.
ETA: I already know what her response to this would be- "But I was building a home for us both, that was important" or "He wasn't very good/in to it". There's always a justification. Exhausting. Never wrong. That's why nobody will ever get through to her how much of a bleep she is.

there is no need for someone starting out to have 2 one hour lessons a week. Pretty sure when I started it was 30 min lessons a week, upped to an hour during grammar school when I was doing A level Music and needing grade 8. The main point is you have a lesson and the teacher gives u techniques which u work on all week and the practice time is the main thing. You would probably up it to 2+ lessons if you were showing serious talent to actually break through. Or the other reason is your parents were loaded so wanted to try to fast track you. But there is no benefit for a beginner to have such long lessons.
honks like one of her slops...
