Omg! My biggest pet peeve.
My ex wasn't the 10-15 minute late kind of person.
No, he was the 2 hours late guy!!!

I'm either 30 minutes late, or an hour early. With all the kids I have to start getting ready hours beforehand, and if it's a morning thing (before 10) we are always late.
But I always tell whoever "yeah we won't be there until 11:30" or "we might be a little late showing up". That way we aren't rude.

But if it's to pick the kids up, that's less people to get ready and more chance of being on time lol

I'm always obnoxiously early. If you say 12 I'm there at 11. I'm always worried that if I'm late something insane and drastically crazy will happen.

I'm about to give way too much info.

When I was little I always had this nightmare. I'd have it at least twice a month. I'd be at a friends house & my parents would say "be home at 5:00pm" I'd come a little after 5 and they'd be gone. A new family would already be moved in the house! They left me.

I know it sounds so silly, but when I was younger it was terrifying. So, I am always on time.

I am a very punctual person and I cannot stand people who are always late! My husband's family is the worst, my bil & his wife are usually at least an hour late to everything and for no reason. They are just jerks and have their own sense of time. We tried telling them to come at say, 2pm when everyone else will be here at 3-3:30 and it didn't work, they were still late so we stopped doing that! The last few times they were the first too arrive though. My mil comes at whatever time my sil says she will be arriving. My sil always used to be early or on time but now that she has kids, she is always hours late. Which I can kind of understand but again it's hours late! And my inlaws act like she is the first person to ever have more than 1 kid! I have 2 kids as well and yeah sometimes it takes us longer to get out of the house but we never more than 30 minutes late! My sil is hours late and we are all expected to stop and wait for her! The one time we asked my mil to wait for us (on thanksgiving when she wanted to eat at 1 and we asked her if she could make it 1:30 because our 10 month old napped from 12:30-2:30, we were going to put him down early and wake him early) she said so. So now we wait for no one and if they are more than 2 hours late, they are told not to bother coming! My inlaws don't like it because again, my sil has 2 kids and its just soooo hard for her but whatever. Nobody waits for us.

My biggest pet peeve is Christmas Eve dinner. It is my daughters birthday and the only holiday I get to host, and we go all out, we spend hundreds on food, I spend a week cleaning and all day cooking, We buy a huge $150-$250 prime rib. I tell all my inlaws to please arrive between 4:30-5pm because we will be eating by 5:30. Nobody works that day, nobody lives hours away. And yet they are always late! One year 6pm rolled around and nobody was here, we seriously thought they all decided not to come! My husband started calling them and everyone was blasé about it and said they were just leaving. Well after that, we said we wait for no one. This is what time we are eating and we will start with or without you! It is so rude and inconsiderate to show up hours late!

She finally came and got him. I feel bad for being annoyed now because the boys cried when they left ?

That's very inconsiderate! Sometimes things happen and people run late but being late hours is just plain rude.

I'd be soooo mad. I used to nanny for a family that would always do this.

My husbands whole side of his family are like that ? his mom was SIX hours late to Easter. And we told her it started 2 hours earlier than it did. She said she "lost track of time" an ha to get her Jamba Juice before coming over. But this happens basically everytime we have a get together. It's incredibly annoying.

She didn't even answer her phone ? and because I'm a giant p****

"Hi M! This is Alyssa, just wondering if you were coming to pick up D soon! We have some errands to run, so if you could come pick him up within the hour that would be great"

I'm such a wussy ?????

I'm always late, but like 5-10min late and it's something I'm really working on. I can't imagine being that late to pick my kid up.

You are too sweet!

I would of totally been the B and asked her if something comes up to just contact me so I don't have to worry if something happened ?

As much as I would love to say "yes I'm going to say something". I probably won't ?. I'm a p**** sometimes.

I'm calling her at 2 if she hasn't show up by then. He's still here.

Have you gotten ahold of the mom? That is so inconsierate she isn't there yet, what if you had things to do? I would be livid

That's so late. Are you going to say anything when she comes?
You would think that she would be embarrassed to be that late.

Ahh still stinks. I really feel for the kids that have to go back and forth like that. It has to be hard on them to re-adjust every time. At least your son is getting some extra time ? but seriously I would be getting annoyed..come get your child lady!
