Care and Feeding: What to do when a friend’s mother is late for play dates?

An 8-year-old daughter has a friend who is late in picking her up from play dates at her house.

" Libby " is getting fed up with the late pick-up and is considering not allowing her over again.

Your son's teacher keeps spelling his first name wrong, and this does upset him.

You should have done this right after the first time it bugged you in a nice cordial email or at parent/teacher night .

If you don't want to come off as rude, apologize for not bringing it up sooner.

If she continues misspelling it, let it go. If it doesn't annoy Meghan , it's not a hill to die on.
