    He teaches piano to various students, including his younger sister. We've agreed to pay him the same rate he charges his other students. He's set himself up now as a sole trader, and started issuing invoices. What contracting parent wouldn't be proud of that?

    Now I'll teach him about dunning processes.
    That is superb! You have good right to be proud

    Now all you need to do is supply him with a back invoice for the money you spent on lessons for him and everyone's a winner
