to cut a long story short, parents have been having problems for a while, 2 weeks ago dad went on holiday, the day he was due home he called to say he mad maleria (spelling) so was unable to travel. He finally got back to the uk today and went to collect his car from his sis to find flat battery and flat tyres so has had to pay out to fix that.
They have a term time only contract but i agreed to look after the children tomorrow so mum and dad can spend a day together before he goes back to work on tuesday. well this morning i get texts asking me to look after the children at REDUCED rates as they cant afford it but really need time together!
i have said i am not prepared to reduce my rates as this is my job and not something i do for fun but i will look after the children for as many hours as they can afford to pay me for. havent had a reply yet but i feel mean! but in other jobs this would be seen as over time and get a higher rate of pay etc!!!
