My daughter does a little gymnastics training, it's about 1 hour per day, 2 days per week. It was my husbands job to drop her off every time this year.... He is almost always running late for these things and has turned up late to them. It helps that the place she trains at has only ever started on time for one session. The other 6-7 times they've started 15-30 minutes late. He doesn't do this on purpose, cooking dinner and stuff like that always takes him longer to do than it does for me.<br><br>Anyways, so he is running late for her session which is at 7:20PM. She has to be there at least 15 minutes before her session starts. Because of how he drives he always takes the longest possible route which in turn makes him run later and later. He is supposed to drop her off, then walk the dog for the 90 minutes that he has before he has to pick her up.<br><br>So he drops her off 10-15 minutes late. She was super upset he was running late because obviously she doesn't want to miss out on training and all of her friends are there during that time as well. She was so so so upset with him, she was already in the car and ready to go almost 2 hours before hand. They live in a different city which is about 45 minutes away with traffic, and without traffic it's about 30 minutes away. So altogether he spends almost 2 hours driving her there and back, and walking the dog in between.<br><br>Anyways, so he drops her off and she was crying in the car the whole time she was in it and when she got to training she was in tears. I was so so mad at him, she was so looking forward to seeing her friends and training and the session is only 1 hour. Extremely short. She was supposed to start at 7:20PM so she probably didn't start until 7:40-50PM...<br><br>The next day he is supposed to pick up my daughter from school and walk her to training... Her session starts at 7:30AM and he is supposed to pick her up at 7:00AM, walk to training. It's a 30 minute walk to training but he walks at snails pace, so he took 50 minutes to walk my daughter to training that is only a 20 minute walk away at most for a fast walker. He didn't even have the dog with him... She was in tears at training because he made her miss the warm up, stretching and cool down, so she didn't even get to train. I was so so so so mad, how hard is it to wake up on time, and walk at a reasonable pace to get my daughter to training on time. She was so looking forward to this session and he ruined it for her. She was in tears at training and in tears all morning while they were getting ready.<br><br>He has no idea how much this upsets me and her. How hard is it to get up on time, cook dinner on time, walk the dog on time. How hard is it to do ANYTHING on time. He was supposed to pick her up from training at 8:30AM today, and I told him to get there at 8:20AM, he didn't get there until 8:40AM. He always, always, always, makes my daughter cry. He has made her cry for the past 15 years nonstop. She doesn't like him at all and he just Assume's he is a good father and always does the right thing and listens to me.<br><br>Anyways, so this morning I confronted him and told him how he always runs late and how he is ruining my daughter. He told me that he isn't and that I should be grateful that he is trying, he is somewhat disabled so he walks slow and runs slow because he was in an accident that made him this way. I told him it's no excuse and he has had 14 years to get somewhat used to it, and he still hasn't. He always ruins family outings because he is running late. He always makes my daughter cry. I asked him why he is so bad at time keeping and he said it's clearly because of my disability and I should be more considerate and understanding of him.<br><br>I am so mad at him. He is clearly the one with the problem, not me. I don't make him cry nor do I ruin his life. I am so so so done.
