You pick your kids up from a drop-off party ON TIME

[Anonymous]

I'd just like to point to everyone who said 15-20 minutes late is not the end of the world that OP didn't say it was. But there are all sorts of things that are not the end of the world that are, nonetheless, plenty annoying.

IME, the parents who are let are generally the ones who have the worst-behaved kids. Makes that 20 minutes feel like two hours. And then the parent breezes in and asks, surprised, "Oh, am I the last one?"

The dead horse has been beaten. Why bring this thread up 6 days after the most recent post? For this nugget of wisdom?

Wow, I can't believe we're still arguing about whether picking up late is ok. It's not.

Yes op we know you think so.
And we think you need to gain some valuable life perspective.
My friend is dying this week. His kids don’t know.
But sure, go off. Sure it had lasting implications for your physical and mental well-being that warrant your level of outrage

NP. I doubt that’s OP. They also don’t seem “outraged”.

no. I have much more important things to do than GAF about that, or about the minutae of when someone collects their child from an event.
They're not even that important, but they're more important than the epic triviality of what op is whingeing about or validating whether 1 or 2 people are wasting their lives pearl clutching about absolutely nothing but ultimately leaving the world a little worse than when they found it.
you do you, though.

Apparently not, since you’re just spending your time on a random DCUM thread accusing various posters of secretly being the OP

My mother was always the last one to pick me up from a party/event. Always. I hated it it, and so did the host.

Get a life OP. You like the drama it seems. It’s over so move on. Letting it get to you is stupid. Stress will kill you.

There could have been an accident on the way that caused a traffic jam. It is also possible they were late because they forgot. When something is out of your routine, it is so easy to let the time slip. Though, you sound insufferable and perhaps lack empathy.

This is so rude of those parents. I'm with OP and the parents posting on here that this is okay behavior need to realize that they are equally rude.

Seriously if you do this don't expect to be invited to another party. This goes for those of you who bring along 2 extra uninvited siblings without asking. RUDE!
