Me either! We go if we planned to whether everyone is present or not! Last year we went to Pumpkin Patch without a little boy (Mom was a habitual late arriver) We did wait 20 minutes for her and she didn't answer her cell. She ended up driving him out to the Pumpkin Patch (20 miles) and then complained about being late for work!!!! Then the little boy told me I was mean for not waiting for him. His mom and I had a discussion at pick up. I made her explain that it was HER fault he missed the bus, not mine. She is still a late arriver, but little boy never says anything about it now.
