[quote=Anonymous]You sound like my DH who is obsessed with being on time, but to him on time actually means early. I can't stand being the first ones to arrive to parties and things like that and I try to explain to him that the hosts don't want you there at 6:25 if the start time is 6:30, but his own anxiety about being late is too strong for him to understand. Last night we got to a party at 6:40 that had a start time of 6:30 because I couldn't find my phone and was looking for it before we left and DH was SOOO pissed off about it. The hosts actually joked that we weren't the first to arrive and they were shocked. Anyway, it's something for you to work on because it's a really difficult trait to live with when your partner doesn't feel that same anxiety about being everywhere on time (early).

That being said, for this situation why do you have to go back to the hotel to get the kids ready? He can bring them to the venue and you can do any final touches you need to do. Tell him exactly what time to leave the hotel to get to the venue (and move it back by 5 minutes if you really think it will be an issue). But it sounds like you're a micromanager and there is some learned helplessness there on his part. [/quote]
