You could say your contracted hours were based on when DCD was in school/based on his school hours but it does sort of sound like you are trying to get out of watching her extra although I do understand your dilemma. I don't think it was wrong to ask but I can see how the parents might be ticked. I for one think it is ridiculous for the parent to send the child the whole amount of time so they can pack - certainly they could manage to shave a few hours off & pick her up early those days.
