It depends what it's for. If it's for work I'll just be a little late and make up the time that evening.

If it's for an event with a start time (church, meeting someone for lunch, a birthday party, etc) I will cut out my routine to make it on time. I do not accept being late for those events. DH is really good at making sure we're not late too. Usually we're yelling instructions at each other as we're running all over the house (HATE having stairs!) to put DD in the car seat, grab the diapers out of the dryer, grab some bottles, don't forget the lovey... We've gotten pretty good at it... haha

If we are going to an event that is for DH we will NOT be late. For my events he takes his sweet time. I just try to stay out of hus way to not further slow him down. I am also not above leaving without him.

I'm like you! I cut unnecessary tasks from least important to most important, and sacrifice things like eating/wearing matching clothes

My husband also goes about his usual routine. It drives me bonkers, especially when we have to be somewhere together...I'm standing anxiously by the door or waiting in the car, and the man is leisurely putting on his socks. Smh.

Honestly, even with a child I don't think we've yet been late to something. Our "late" is being right on time. I usually pack diaper bag the night before. DH hates being late so we always plan to leave the house way early.

@runsyellowlites: If that happens, I try to give calm, clear directions about what DH can do to help get us out the door more quickly . . . it can be frustrating though . . . is it too much to ask that my hair be dry and that my eyelashes aren't sticking together?!

I have this weird thing where I don't mind if someone is late meeting me because trust me, I get it, life happens and gets in the way but I personally hate if I am the one who is late meeting someone. Because of this I'm hardly ever late. If I am it's usually because I'm waiting for DH because he's not prepared so I get a little snippy with him. Oops!
