[quote=Anonymous]I'm a bit obsessive over being on time.  I have a far commute with a lot of traffic and I begin each morning of the week at different times so I leave a large time cushion and am always 10-30 minutes early.  I park in the shopping center across the street and finish my coffee, clean out my purse, use the bathroom, and mentally prepare myself for the day. I pull into work right on the dot of my start time.  MB nurses the baby at the last minute which always gives me time to put my lunch in the fridge, wash my hands, and catch up with MB.  She leaves cushion time on her end to so she can hang around for a few minutes before running out the door.   If there's an accident or I forgot I had to stop for gas I text MB if I'm going to be more than 5 mins late.  I think that has happened two or three times in 6 months (though she is late to relieve me most days, but always texts).
I don't understand why both parties don't allow for cushion time, especially when 3 minutes is so important to you.  Schedule her to arrive 15 minutes before you have to leave for work and aim to be ten minutes early for your own job  Then everybody can chill the freak out.  It can be very stressful for the kids and grown ups to make such an abrupt switch.[/quote]
