[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my own personal friendships, I never liked flaky people. Of course there are times when you may have to reschedule or cancel but some people are just flaky and unpunctual. I have 3 kids and they have always been good at getting out the door. They look forward to seeing their friends, look at the calendar and wait for the time.  The same parents are always non commital, flaky and unpunctual. I would never tolerate this with an adult friend but I’m stuck accepting this because they are my kids’ friends’ parents.

Is this a personality trait? 
Do you think they were always flaky or does the kid make you flaky?[/quote]

All I know if that when you become a parent, the world including other parents seem to treat events and meetings very very casually. I remember being on time for library time or some kid related events only to find they were canceled or the person in charge treated the event as a side event. It's such a different world than the world of work where you have to be so punctual or your scared you are going to be fired![/quote]
