Sometimes we end up in bad situations because we just ask for them to happen. I think there are ways you could have avoided being in this very uncomfortable situation.
Specifically, why are you taking on clients at below market rates, and then allowing them to walk all over you? You should be clear on what your rates are, and the rules of your service. Be kind and considerate, but also firm and unyielding when it comes to rates and child safety issues. It sounds like you saw trouble coming from a mile away with this mother, and then you invited it right into your home at a discount rate!
Have you considered that you might get better paying, and more pleasant clients if you don't have the "true poor white trash" crowd hanging around your place?
