Discount for siblings?

[Other Mummy]

No way would I do a sibling discount. For the exact reasons mentioned above. Usually a seasoned provider will never do a sibling discount. Usually it's the newbies. Then they learn. The hard way.

Hahahaha.... Yepppp.
I offered a sibling discount for the first year and a half I was in business.
Then I realized that I am not working any less, nor am I giving any less time/food/crafts/etc to the sibling(s). So I no longer offer it.
There are upsides and downsides to siblings. True; when one is out, usually both are. But if they up and leave, you now have 2 or more spaces to fill instead of just one.
I suppose I am saying the same as everyone else, which is: if it's "norm" in your area, you should think about offering it. Or, alternatively, if filling spaces has become difficult, that may be the way to fill a niche and offer something that others don't.
