A little patience and you purchase the peace of mind of being on time by being early.

Don't know if that will help or not. Some things are just a part of a person's personality and hard to shake.

The problem is when I say we need to leave at 11 I mean in the car backing out of the garage she feels it means that at 11 she should start thinking about a shower,

Ooops, sorry. I meant to post that in the Epitaph thread.

My old advisor said that the key to a happy relationship was tolerance of the trivial differences between two people. I tend to agree, but sometimes those differences aren't so trivial.

You could move the time to "need to be their by 9:30 or 10" and see how that works.

When I was a kid id hear my uncle use to tell his wife and kids he wanted to leave at 7:00. Id be downstairs at 7:00 and he’d be asleep on the couch and none of his family was even downstairs yet. They would finally be leaving around 8:30.

When I was older I asked him about it. He said if I told them the actual time I wanted to leave, it would be 1 to 1 1/2 hours later. So he always gave them a time 1 to 1 1/2 hours earlier than he wanted to leave

Your uncle sounds like a pretty wise man.
