The always late mom has arrived.

I’ve never been more than 5 minutes late. I don’t think any of my kid’s friends parents have been more than 15 minutes late (and this is not a common occurrence.)

If someone arrived more than 15 minutes late I would annoyed and probably wouldn’t invite the kid back.

If they're just a few minutes late, that's fine, of course.

Just take their kid with you.

This is what I would do

Ive also had parents arrive early which is also not ok. Often we're not home yet!
