Besides, just because you are picking up your kids doesn't mean that I have to be cooling my heels and awaiting your condescension. I could be doing some of my  important stuff if only you were considerate enough to be truthful when you agree on a time for gaming.If you have to get your kids at 5:30, and it takes an hour to get them home at then get on to a game, don't agree to play at six.I am sure that you think that your kids are more important than my hobby. That doesn't entitle you to take my game-books budget and spend it on child-care. What applies to my money applies also to my time. Your sacred duties as a parent mean that you have to make sacrifices, not that you have a right to inflict sacrifices on other people.And besides, being late for a group engagement is so wasteful. To get yourself another ten minutes you waste a whole person-hour of other people's time.When you choose to have children, it becomes your absolute duty to put their interests ahead of your own. But it doesn't become my duty to put your kids' interests ahead of my own. And it doesn't give you the right to demand that I waste my time hanging around on standby in case you decide that you'd like me to entertain you. I may, since I am the whole a pretty generous guy and a bit of a sucker, offer to help you deal with your kids. But you have not right to demand it of me. And agreeing (for example) to meet me for a game at six when you can't make it (or when it is likely that you won't be able to make it) until 6:30 is doing just that.</blockquote>
