Reply #24: Some people are just like that.

My mother is ALWAYS late. I mean, her own wedding was an hour late because she forgot to buy pantyhose and had to run to the drug store. She's never on time.

I just plan for it and don't let it get to me, and I try really hard to avoid making plans with her that rely on her being on time. But if I let it bother me anymore I'd have to kill her, and I like her, so I just deal with that being a part of who she is.

In the long run, acceptance will be easier for you. You can't make her change.
