The most used excuse for running late

Some of us are good late comers. We've mastered it over the years unconsciously, and we've gotten good at finding the perfect excuse for running late. What are your most used excused for running late? Are you conscious of the frequency of running late, and is there an approach you feel will help solve this pattern?

I got fired for running late lol. So hard being a parent

My daughter, traffic

I refuse to be that parent to use my kids as a reason to be late. I never was late before, right on time. Since meeting my husband I am now 10 mins early to everything. My baby is 9 months so I intend to keep up the early. So far I have.

I always go for traffic lol we live south of Atlanta, so no one ever questions it lol

@Princess 😅😅

@Amanda kiddos, mama! That's an impressive track record! I absolutely aspire to stop giving excuses 😅😅

@Lis | mommy of 3 I'm so sorry about that. Employers should accomodate to some extent.

Traffic and kids. Because usually my kids are the reason why I am late. It's surprisingly difficult to get two girls to leave the house on time.

Some other thing may suffer but everyone has to leave the house once the final alarm rings. Wear ur clothes in the car if u have to, but being late could be seen as not respecting other people's time, mostly if they also have kids and they keep to time. I bring a bag to hold anything we couldn't finish b4 time. No screen time cos it slows them down.

@Minna I understand, Mama. My son is just like a girl....very hard to get him out of the house on time.
