[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5674203, member: 463"] I had a game scheduled for 6.15pm in town yesterday, my wife had promised to be home before 5pm to swap out child-care duties. I phoned her at 5pm and she was just leaving the meeting, ETA 6pm... so I arranged to bring our son Bill in to town, we'd meet at the pub and I'd hand him over. It was a major inconvenience for me but it meant I got to the venue in time (6pm), and while for some reason she wasn't there yet, she did turn up around 6.15pm for me to hand him over. I was slightly annoyed only 2/6 players were there by 6.15pm, although a third Kerranin was still finishing up at another table, so fair enough there, and Neonchameleon had warned me he'd likely be late due to house move. 3 more filtered in late, a 6th did not show at all despite assurances. We started late and the game over-ran by 30 minutes, which meant leaving rather late, but I got home safely, and wife & child were fast asleep. I didn't feel guilty about finishing late this time after the inconvenience my wife had put me through earlier, but normally she'd be cross if I got back late and I'd feel bad about it. [/QUOTE]
