Part of this — I suspect — is that you're probably of the The Client Is Always Right school of freelancing, when it's definitely not the case. Sometimes, just standing up for one's self when it comes to project timings, scope creep and so on can lead to a much saner working life, as well as respect from clients. They've become so accustomed to seeing freelancers as people they can push around, that it's a sort of in-grained mentality.
Learn to say 'no' (in a professional way, of course) once in a while.
