if you don't do it based on hours then you're still doing it based on hours, just pretending to ignore it! so if you sel;l layouts for $25 and they usually take 3 hours, you are working at below minimum wage, whether you like it or not. just because you ignore the hour amount, doesn't mean you're not spending those hours on it. btw this doesn't mean "charge client per hour," it just means to estimate beforehand.
i'm so sorry you have to go through that. parents like that are just infuriating, like he could not care less about your problems
Yeah, it's a very minor thing, but it's always felt odd to me
