[quote=Anonymous]I will start by saying that I adore my husband, and besides one trait, he is a great dad.

He cannot make it on time to anything.  My daughter missed a big swim meet because he could not get out the door.  (I had a plumber coming, and had to stay home with the other child.)  They have missed birthday parties because he can't pull it all together.  (Again, I couldn't attend, and it was up to him.)

He is constantly late for work, and therefore has to do a ton when he gets home to make deadlines, which he always does.

We have talked about it, devised strategies, but he just grins, nods, and does whatever the hell he wants to.

It drives me insane. We have missed planes.  He was actually late to our wedding.  I have told him this is a problem, and do my best to help mitigate against delays.  One time I left for a family outing without him. Just got in the car with the kids and drove off.  That didn't go well.  We talk about it, he knows how disruptive it is, and I have explained how his behavior is a problem.  I am kind and try to be understanding, but it is becoming a huge source of contention, especially now as we juggle work, camp, parties, etc.

I don't know what to do. He seems to be of the mindset that things don't start until we get there, and we miss out on things.  Looking for advice on how to approach this, or how others have overcome this as a couple. [/quote]
