Because people take advantage of other people, that's why. You would feel guilty charging money to do it, and you would feel taken advantage of if you didn't...so whoever wants you to do this has put you in a hard position. You know that if you do this, they will tell all their family and friends about you, and want you to help them, too. It never ends.

Could be a good way to get his mum on side, which could benefit you in the long-term. Also, sharing knowledge is karmically good for you, good things will come from it for you. He, whoever he is, will then be in your debt cos you did him this favour, this seems like a win win situation for you. Unless you no good at explaining things and wouldn't be able to teach the mum to use excel. In that case, be straight and say you're not comfortable doing it or don't have the time etc. Don't do anything you don't want to do, but you could benefit from people being grateful to you.

Tell him to buy his Mum a copy of 'Excel for Dummies' and then if she gets stuck you could give her a little guidance.

do you give things to your BF, or do you charge? MIL are people too, and of course itll allow her to see you as a person, and not some cheap tart whos not good enough for her boy...

Don't. It's simple enough for one to teach themselves.
