I do not believe your are correct at all or that your point applies here.
First of all I do not think any of the comments made so far have anything to do with being self centered. In a lot of cases family and friends automatically expect more for less and have much higher expectations of what they should get for what they pay.
I have seen this happen all to often and have been part of it when working for friends. But not family.
Unless you have been in a business that provides a service and you have involved family and friends you would not have any idea of what could and in many cases does happen.
And how can you compare a situation like this to government.
