When I originally emailed about the weeks schedule I said that D12 and D16 had plans in the afternoon. It wasn't a time specific thing it was a lets go get ice cream together thing. So I never said , she needs to be home by 2:00pm for instance
Yesterday H kept telling me, she's sleeping late, we stopped by a store, the line at the store is long, we are getting lunch, the service is slow, blah blah blah. It just seemed like a million excuses.
But in the end I was not clear about what I wanted, so I didn't say anything. And next time I'll be clear.
