"Perhaps his wife had just died?"
A child's early development is MASSIVELY different to that of an adult, the way they are treated at a young age acts as a template for their future relationships, habits and personality.
You cannot treat a child as if they were an adults or versions of yourself, children are continually learning how to deal with new feelings and emotions, they struggle to concentrate sometimes and are almost always aloof.
Yes children learn to manipulate, but you are the adult, deal with it, ignore their requests, remind them of your earlier conversations...
Children become a reflection of their caretakers emotions, you treat them like shit, they will argue with you more and the cycle continues...
There are too many factors to consider, what is the product? being the most important, how is it sold to me, what is the closing process?
What this post says to me is: we want our users credit card details because there is a likelyhood they will forget to cancel their trial and we will at least screw them out of one month subs.
This coming from Tech... crunch/fund?
