The reason they were/are late is always son’s fault. He finds a way to cause them to leave later than hubby would like every single day.

Then he goes at the time you are supposed to. Pick him up and carry him out to the car if you have to.

There's a reason God made parents bigger than their children.

He's ready the night before so all he has to do in the morning is eat, dress, and pick up his backpack. If he forgets something, too bad.

A five or six year old should not be able to manipulate an entire family.

Son is a senior. He weighs about 205 lbs. Hubby could carry him.

Our five year old is a pain as well, but he doesn’t make anyone late. He is the most bullheaded child I know. Ugh. He is a work in progress. :)
