As a provider with a high quality program with a waiting list, I get sick of parents with expensive cars, nice clothing, hair and nails done telling me that they can't afford my rates. The truth is, they CAN afford it but they chose to spend their money on other things. Their choice, but it shouldn't lessen my income (or my program, which is what would happen if I reduced rates).

I think the cigarettes bother me more than the new cars. Most of these complainers talked about spend tons of money on cigarettes. I just don't get it!
