Discount for siblings?

[Inspired by Reggio]

Welcome to the Board and congratulations on your new endeavor.

IMO it does not cost any LESS to care for siblings than it does for two unrelated children - they both occupy a space, they both eat, they both engage in program supplies and so forth and they are both WORK to take care of So while in the beginning it might seem 'beneficial' to offer care to siblings because two of your spaces are filled instantly the fact is when the relationship ENDS they make up 2/5 of your income which you are suddenly without until you replace their spaces - that is A LARGE LOSS IN INCOME which IMO makes siblings a 'financial liability' in that regards which IMO means no 'discounts' ... plus IMO offering bulk shopping discount implies our 'fees' are marked up like Walmart or Costco so that we can put ourselves 'on sale' kwim? If you went to a Lawyer, Dentist, Accountant or other professional do you think they give 'family discounts' on their service if both you and your sibling sign up as clients - nope they thank you for your 'referral' in some way sure - but not with an ongoing financial discount?

Personally my fees are based on the SPACE being occupied within my program since my income is capped at the 5 SPACES I am allowed to have occupied at any one time - therefore you pay for the space regardless of being 'related' or not... others might have varied logic on their choices for setting fees though - this is just mine
