I WFH and have a sitter watch my baby while I work. I used to shower on my lunch before I had him. Would it be weird to shower now that the sitter is here watching him? The bathroom is in my bedroom and they’re in the living room. My office is across the hall from my bedroom.

Update from the original post. The company is family owned, ran by the dad but the son does most of the labor. The son sent us an updated invoice now totaling $2400. Said they did us a favor earlier by not charging the full amount. Only when we questioned the amount they sent us the new invoice. When speaking with the dad, we were told the son said we were not going to pay. We told them we never said we intended to not pay, but we didn’t believe the total was correct since they never informed us of the price increase before completing work.
After a 40 minute conversation after being interrupted and talked over multiple times, they asked what we thought a fair amount would be. We said we would pay the original $600 + chemical cost. They told us they would talk it over and get back with us.
After hanging up, they texted they would accept $1200 even thought they were losing money($1000= the $600 + $400 for chemicals) we again said we would pay the $1000. THEN they said they would accept the $1000 if we left them a 5 STAR review! We told them that is unethical practice and we would not. They then sent us an apology, said no review was necessary, and they will accept the $1000 equaling the previous quote of $600 plus the $400 for chemicals.
We’re waiting on the updated invoice now. I’m super eager to put this behind us. Wanted to update in case anyone was super interested, thanks for all the responses and helpful advice.

First time poster here. We were quoted a $600 estimate to clean our pool after sending the company pictures. We signed a contract that says they can raise the price if needed due to the severity of the dirtiness and how much chemical is needed. It also states they must communicate the price increase to us before the work is done.
They took roughly a month and a half to clean the pool and sent us an invoice a week later for $1900. They’re arguing they can do this because the contract states so, yet they never communicated with us about a price increase. They communicated what day they would stop by to work on the pool and that was it.
Anyone have advice? We pointed out they never communicated the more than tripe price increase and they are not budging whatsoever. They are now threatening to take us to small claims court.
We can’t afford $1900 to clean our pool which is why we agreed to $600.
