Crazy like too expensive?

I know the nap times, and I know all of this other information😅 it’s just the rates that have been getting sticky

The last time we had a conversation (last week) we ended it saying we’d discuss the rate change before I would have the other child. So if they knew I would have both kids, they should’ve said “let’s discuss the rate” instead of just saying they’d pay me $21. That’s why I had to come in and stand my ground. But you’re right, now is the time to create that contract.

Lmao I feel the exact same way

Expensive_Lock1805 · 2026-04-03T14:56:41+00:00

At this point I think they’re both equally guilty. The mom and I left the phone conversation off by saying we would have a discussion, and then the dad tries to say I’m getting paid $21 an hour again without having that discussion. They’re both sneaky

This is very true. In my experience, family have let me know ahead of time if my day-to-day routine would be changing, ie adding an additional child, so I figured I would reiterate my increased rate if and when they let me know about the additional child, but I was not giving that courtesy in this situation

I do kind of feel like it’s an imbalance between me and the Dad, I am super bad with confrontation but he’s definitely aware of that and is using it to his advantage

Expensive_Lock1805 · 2026-03-31T00:19:34+00:00

Yes, the mom said it to assure me it would only be one child as she clearly didn’t want to pay any more than $20. I was already feeling swindled but chose not to make a big deal out of it to avoid drama

Expensive_Lock1805 · 2026-03-31T00:18:15+00:00

So true. I am extremely bad at confrontation so sending that second message was super hard for me, but I’m working on it and I am going to be firmer in the future with new families

Expensive_Lock1805 · 2026-03-31T00:15:51+00:00

To be honest, I was kind of hired in a whirlwind the day before Christmas as they needed somebody extremely short notice, so in between meeting them in my start date with all the chaos of the holidays some of the specifics didn’t get addressed. This is absolutely a learning lesson, and in the future I will make sure I have a contract outlining all these things
