Do you call people out on tardiness?
If you have a friend or family member who is constantly late, do you call them out on it?
My mother is typically 20-60 minutes late for things. It's usually for things like festivals or going shopping. Things that time doesn't really matter. She sometimes doesn't even tell me she's going to be late until 5 minutes after she's suppose to be there. She lives 25 minutes away, so she should have absolutely texted me when she knew she would be late. Her excuse? "I just couldn't get moving this morning." It feels insulting when I've had the three of us be up and ready for her to be there, and she's won't put in the same effort. I mostly just expect if from her because that's what she always does. She's at least consistent with time and her reasons.
My mother was supposed to babysit my niece this morning at 10:30. No message that she would be late, or a time frame. She was 20 minutes late and now my sister is late for her appointment. I told her to make sure she says something, but doing that invites a lot of hassle with my mother, so I don't blame her if she doesn't. We're typically non confrontational with her. It usually leads to a lot of hurt feelings on all sides, and guilt put on me and my siblings. I'm just really, really sick of it. I suggested she make sure she gives my mom more of a grace period, but it's really unfair to have to do that.
This was more of a vent. I know I should really just talk to her about it, I'm just REALLY not looking forward to it. What do you usually do?

Re: Do you call people out on tardiness?
DH and I tend to be late for a lot, because DH is a gross under-estimator of how long it takes to do things, generally. I spent a fair portion of my life waiting around for him so that we can do whatever it is we have to do. But when someone is really counting on him, he can usually get his shit together. I have to wait for him to get home from work so I can go to yoga one night a week, and I haven't been late for yoga class yet, but it's been close almost every week.

Feel free to tell me if I'm off my rocker. I sometimes get wrapped up in things and need a little adjustment. I do want to have good perspective.
