What's your Take on this?

Yes, red flags went up for me when they agreed to my set hours at the interview and then left them blank when they returned my contract. When I spoke to dcm about this on the phone she sounded surprised that she didn't fill in the hours needed and when I point blank asked her she told me 7:15 - 5:30pm. Then the frantic phone call this week. I guess her work would not allow her to take the Friday's off and not work longer hours Mon-Thurs.

And the coupled with the fact that she didn't actually specify what weeks 3 & 4 would hold. But she lost me on the Week 1 and Week 2 by trying to push for earlier and later times then I am open and dangling the proverbial carrot of not bringing dcg most Fridays. This is not a plus for me. I'm open anyway, she is not my only client. It's not like I get the Friday off! Like I said in my previous post, I prefer a schedule where a child comes in the full 5 days as most of you know what an erratic schedule can do to a child in care (not to mention their poor provider).

It's hard to send away a paying client when I'll be down 2 by May, but I'm going to hold out for a better fit. I don't want to end up resenting the situation as they are a lovely family.
