So, I have a DCF going through a difficult time. My DCM is losing her father to a battle of cancer and hospice is there and it's not good. She's asked me to open an hour early (from 7 to 6) and possible keep him until 7 at night. Here's the thing, I can probably do it. (She's managing keeping him with the cousins where her Dad is, but it would probably be easier to hand him off here so he could play and have some consistency as far as routine goes). DCB is 3.5 years old.
So... How do I approach the $$ aspect. He's been out a week and a half, and I've offered to do it earlier, but never offered to stay until 7. They're paying right now even though he's not here as per my contract. (my hours are 7-5:30 at a flat fee of $45/day). Of course my heart aches for her losing her father. Do I charge? Or, is that just rude?
She just sent me a text saying DCB wouldn't be here today or tomorrow and she'd let me know about the rest of the week later. Then she mentioned DCB couldn't come because her DH needed to catch the train earlier than I open.
So -- I know she wants to ASK but just throws the passive aggressive - you aren't helping clause in there.
