Learning to stand up for ourselves in the workforce is an important lesson, one which can be very difficult (and sometimes a long time coming), especially for women. ESPECIALLY when it comes to asking for MONEY!!
It is understandable to want to not cause waves, yet it obviously bothered you enough to post it here. Also, if the conversation about the misunderstanding would keep you sitting for her kids (you = someone they know & trust) then I'm sure they would welcome the opportunity to explain their understanding of your initial conversation and to make it right. Taking another job without addressing the issue with this job, IMO, is doing yourself and your friends a great disservice.
