Am I being an ass?

Well done for standing up for yourself! Were you going to give them notice for only for the early mornings or whole together? I believe things happens for a reason. I recently interviewed a family and we agreed on everything i sent them my contract and after 2-3 days I've received an email saying that their plans had chanced therefore, they won't be sending their child but will recommend my day home in the neighbourhood (we live in the same neighbourhood). A bit annoying especially, I've done all the work, waste my time to meet them (twice) etc. but nothing happened. I learned soon that things like this happens. Everybody take care of their interest so we should do too. I know we are not like any other business as our emotions involved when taking care of children. But our business is no different and must not be different then any other business. If I go to a supermarket and tell them how much I love their products and I always shop there do you think they will give me discount or let me get things for free? No. So it is about time we should take care of our own interest and treat this as a business.

Regarding invitation, nope, no way I will be inviting them.
