[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except she is not actually late. He got angry at being challenged about his own tone, not at her lateness, which did not exist. [/quote]

I have pulled up to the bus stop just in time for DS to sprint to get on the bus. I've had to speed on other occasions to get there on time.  I've had DS regularly running to the car shoeless and having to put his shoes on in the car so we could make it to the bus stop.  Some days DS had to skip brushing his teeth.  DS didn't miss the bus on those days.  I've had to go to the next bus stop because the bus was closing its doors and DS wouldn't make it.  When OP says her DD has never missed the bus, I think she needs to find out the details of what that means.  If DD is ready everyday ontime with no close misses or speeding on a regular basis, then her DH is completely at fault.  If it's what I experienced, it's very frustrating to deal with and that day may just have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I reread the original post and it seems like OP is seeing other issue, but this on its own isn't a sign of some major problem, depending on how never missing the bus comes about.   [/quote]

They are never even close to late. DH (reasonably) likes to arrive early. They often end up waiting for 5-15 mins before the bus actually leaves. [/quote]
