I thought the OP said Mom starts at 7:00. Works 7:00 - 3:30.

New hours should be 6:45 - 3:45, if mom needs 15 minutes commute time. Personally, because I've been in the position myself of having to be "in the office" ten minutes before the clock said start time, and often stuck for a few minutes after the clock said "quit time" (can't hang up on the Regional Director or someone like that) I would set their hours at 6:30 - 4:00. That gives mom the extra few minutes she might need.

Either way, the 6:00 pick up would be history and they would know how peeved I am.
