[quote=Anonymous]It was low-ball pay.

It was a snarky way to respond to it.

There is no "wrong" here, really. You didn't tell her how much you wanted, her idea of "good" pay is not yours, and you responded with your real emotions, which is always ok. It also sounds like neither of you feels good about the other anymore, so ending the working relationship sounds like the best outcome anyway.

As everyone here has said, there was a much better way to deal with this. When she texted, you should have said "no," or, "ok; that will be $125 for the overnight, please confirm." Then when she replies with something mean or unhappy, you can know you were 100% in the right. But possibly she just responds with, "Oh! too much! I'll be home soon." Or, "OK! Thanks! See you in the morning."

The second better way was to send a more professional text that said, "I should have clarified last night, but my overnight rate is significantly more than you paid. I charge x$$ for overnights. If that won't work for you, I understand, but I need it to be worth it for me to be away from home." Or something else less aggressive.[/quote]
