    A couple of years ago an interviewee was asking me how many children I care for F/T and P/T. I told her my numbers and since she knew my fees she quickly did the math. Figuring out my weekly income she was impressed I almost made as much as her for "just for staying at home" I already kind of knew I wouldn't be taking her on as a client because of other dismissive remarks she had made, but that one solidified my decision.

    holy moley! Did you let her know she'd offended you? I totally would have. That's horrifying. So what was her incredible job that you shouldn't make as much as her? Like, was she a surgeon or some other such lifesaving person?
    ...ugh!
