    Argh! Advice Please!

    Advice needed (and a rant)

    I posted few days ago, askng if I should follow up with a mom I met with etc, how she asked for my contract and I never heard back.

    All this to say, I followed up she said she was interested and asked if she could drop the contract and deposit off tonignt. I said sure. She shows up with husband in towe at 930pm. Waiting to meet my husband as well. Then on the spot says she needs 5:15, and doesn't think she could make it back for my 5pm close time. Now, she knew my hours when she inquired since they are posted on my website. Then on the spot after waiting all night at 930pm with her husband with her says 5:15.

    Honestly, I was caught off guard said we could maybe discuss it. But now, I'm just angry I was put in this position. She had all the time BEFORE coming to ask about a later pick up (Anything after 5 is later) This child is before/after school care and mom is a teacher. I also have 9hr days and during PD days she seems to need 730-515 (her other toddler is in FT daycare about 25-30m away, so there is a commute factor).

    I feel like the hours in my handbook were just entirely overlooked from my 9hr max to my close time. I don't know how to proceed. My next fam doesnt start until Oct (also a teacher, and here 8-5)
    Feel like I just lost control in a weird way! WWYD???
