[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5674525, member: 18701"] I admit that I don't have a lot of experience being in other groups. I've always been either the DM that got to decide who plays or not, or I was host for the same players that I also DMed in my own campaign. So the group was always filled with people with the same attitude towards time. Which is why hearing several people talk about tardiness being an issue surprised me. I just never thought about it. I get what people are saying (and I'm listening). I guess I just have a very different attitude about it. But my wife is the same way as I am so it's normal to me. She's worse than I am about time and tardiness. She's Afghan and in their culture, when you tell them to meet at a certain time for dinner, a wedding, a party; they [B]ALL[/B] show up at [I]least[/I] 2 hours late. So you plan according to that. :lol: And I'm not kidding or exaggerating here. Your situation sounds very similar to mine haha. I work from home on my gameday and also watch my son. So I'm waiting for my wife to get home from work also. Then we both have that long commute to the game. That's cool that she can swing by the pub and pick up your kid. That would help, but our game is way out of the way for my wife to stop by. I always call when I'm late. It's the considerate thing to do. I won't even text because I want to make sure they get my message. People that don't notify you of their tardiness is disrespectful. I agree. [/QUOTE]
