I called the HR woman at the bank and told her the truth. I made a lame attempt at counter-offering, and it failed miserably. She told me, point blank, that it was "way out of the range" for this position, even at my lower suggestion.
While I don't feel like I should have to explain myself, I felt like such an ass that I told her that it's strictly because I'd be paying someone else to babysit, and I had to make a positive influx of money to make it worth it. I told her I was still interested, if something else comes up full-time, especially nearer to September, because I'll have three kids in school. So, I'm " on file."
