So annoyed!

So I was asked by one of the parents today if I could on top of my regular shift (8-11) do 1:30-4:30 and of course I said I would have loved to because I really do need the money, however I asked if I could just do one continuous shift with no breaks, I could do cleaning or whatever else they might beed done around the house (and they desperately do) in the in between hours, because I live quite a ways away so it would waste a lot of time, gas, and add wear and tear on my car. We’ve had that sort of arrangement before. They are just so cheap! When I asked they didn’t even reply back in text but texted me something else. Like they were so dismissive of my question (perfectly valid question imo) and didn’t have enough respect to say no thanks, we will figure something else out. Like at least that! So in the end I had to clarify on something they asked me for because I always prioritize professionalism 100% so I offered through text and they said family will take care of them, claiming that it would be a “too long of a shift” for me. Even though I offered and they know I’ve asked for more hours before. I’ve never worked for such a cheap family before, when they literally have Prada and gucci shoes strewn about the house. it makes me so upset. Just makes me want to hightail it out of here that much faster. I don’t understand how people can be so cheap with other human beings, especially ones that go above and beyond for their kids and that equally, their kids adore. Even though I have much less than they do I always try to help people even though many times it’s cutting it close. I just don’t understand how people operate sometimes. PLEASE comment, reading others equally pissed off responses has been healing my soul 😂
