Well at least they didn't insist on being there for the mix session, not pay any attention for the whole day, then send you an email with a huge list of changes after oking each mix in the studio. Then send you five more emails over the next few weeks asking for more changes. I should mention this is after they decided to track everything on their own at their rehersal space with crappy mics and interface to save a few bucks, then booked one day to mix 6 songs.

Or go over a very long and detailed list of everything that needed to change from the rough you gave them after tracking, talking over the actual mixes you're trying to play them that you worked on all week that sound completely different from the roughes anyway.

I think I would completely lose it if I had to watch someone EQ a kick for 4 hours, probably would lose it after an hour.

For advice on your situation, get your mix as close to done without them there then have them come in and give you notes on what to change etc.
