Be absolutely firm about not waiting 1 sec past the agreed time and diarise every lateness incident. If he goes to the trouble of taking you to court you'll have all your ducks in a row.
You're going to have to be pretty hard because that's all people like him understand. Good luck.
Done that... For months... Well documented... So I guess I need to just accept he will be mad and I will leave at the time I set daily and that's that...
Maybe I have been trying to keep him from being "angry" by not being a hard a$$ about this.
He loves to cry that he is being "alienated" from the kids (despite his own choice to not exercise the limited time he does have) so I react to that every time internally and then tolerate this bs morning manipulation...
All done...
Thanks all for shedding much needed perspective on this....
