Registration Fees

My 18 month old goes to a daycare center.  It is a great place, the facility is awesome, the teachers are great and I know that she is well care for.  But.  There's something I don't understand. 

When we signed up, we paid a registration fee.  That made sense to me, I guess.  There was paperwork to be processed, etc.  I get it as a one time expense.  But it's not a one time expense.  It's yearly! 

YEAR. LY. 

Why the hell do I have to pay a new fee every year?  Supposedly it's to "hold their spot" or some crap.  Isn't that what tuition does?  It's not as if we can not go next week, pay no tuition, then show back up the week after because "well we paid the registration fee". 

Maybe other folks have extra money.  In fact, I'm sure other folks have extra money.  I'm sure some people don't scoff at this high-ass fee.  I'm not one of those people.  I am broke.  Extra broke.   Broker than broke.  Br.. cause I can't afford the oke. 

If you need the extra money, build that shit into tuition and spread it out over the year.  Anything else is just stupid.  And annoying. And sad inducing because I'd like to have a wee bit of money in my pocket.
