[quote=Anonymous]It seems like your husband is really organized and gets anxious when it is getting close to leaving the house and your DD is not close to ready.  I think you should recommend that he has a frank conversation with your DD.  Something like:  "I hate arguing with you and having both of us angry at each other for something small.   I know we all react different to time crunches, and while you are ok with it, it really stresses me our that your siblings might be late.  Can we decided an appropriate time for you to be ready by? I will be out the door by X:00  and if you are ready, great, I'll drive you.  If you are not ready by that time, then I'll just drop of your siblings and you walk to the bus stop. Please don't ask me to wait a few minutes for you because that set time is that is the latest time I am willing to wait.  It is up to you to be ready if you want a ride.  If you need to I can give you a 10 minute warning."  I think that sets a clear parameter that you daughter can understand and it will eliminate this particular argument.[/quote]
