I used to discount for friends, but no more! They pay what everyone else pays. Their kids don't get treated/cared for any differently, so why should my rates affect that.

At some point we are all going to get asked for discounts or special rates. Those are the types that eventually will 'forget' payment, pay late, want special treatment and disrespect your policies etc. Forget that, i can't be bothered. I hate when people ask me that.
