With two kids under 3 years of age, getting out the door with everything we need is a minor miracle. Getting somewhere on time? Not a chance. If there is something I absolutely have to be on time to, and the spouse and kids are going too, we split up and I will go ahead to be on time.

My ex was notorious for this, especially when the kids were involved. Being mad or frustrated didn't help. I gave up bothering her about it. If we were late to something, everyone knew it wasn't because of me.

my wife hates being late, hates it
that being said, if we are late, which is quite often, it is her fault 99.7% of the time.
she will be almost ready and, on my ass, to start getting ready, I will get dressed and then I will go start the truck, get it cooled (warmed if winter) and jam out until she shows up

unless it is work, being late doesn't bother me, anymore

No, just saw the thread bumped to the top and opened it.
Like I said, it's nice to live in a way that has people in disbelief. I will say though that there's no need to be rude to me for simply sharing what I experience. I'm not calling anyone here names or speaking poorly of them. Nor should I be accused of lying.

My last word on this is I am in a great relationship and I want everyone to know they can have the same. I'm nothing special and if I can achieve this than it's available for anyone else.
