Had another interview. I really need to fill a space for financial reasons!

The interview went great! They were happy with everything. Called later to inquire about the stat holidays and why did they need to pay for them? Sigh. I did my best to explain and they seemed to understand, which was great! Then they called again, lol! This time to ask about vacation time and why they need to pay when they take vacation. Gah! At this point, I almost caved and was about to tell them they didn't need to pay for their vacation time, even though that's what my handbook says. But I held out. I said, I have to charge for vacation time because I am essentially holding that space while the child is gone. Anyhow, they said they would get back to me. I have my fingers crossed that they won't say no based on that one policy, when they loved everything else. I am hopeful!
