This is what one woman came to realize after she experienced some friction with a friend because of her constant lateness. She had two small children and would frequently use them as an excuse to be late by up to an hour.
The woman maintained that her friend had had issues with timeliness even before having kids, and she commented on her lateness when she took her time to show up to a walk they had planned together because she was putting her child down for a nap.
The friend suggested that they should allow a window of time to meet up instead of an exact one, but the woman protested at the idea of being on standby for her. Her friend got annoyed, and she wondered if she was in the wrong.

Mom of 2 gets offended when childless friend calls her out on perpetual lateness: 'My other friends are on time despite having small children'
It is no secret that having kids is usually a shortcut to playing the game of life on hard mode, especially when they are young. Tasks that could once be completed in a matter of minutes can suddenly become mountain climbing expeditions with a couple of tiny people in tow. As a result, time management is something that parents can occasionally struggle with. Even if they are willing to cooperate with a schedule, the family might not be.
That being said, there is a clear difference between trying to make good time even with such a distraction and not really making an effort at all. While most have their sympathies when it comes to kids not abiding by the clock, they also have their limits with it as an excuse. Like it or not, a certain level of timeliness is important for the sake of whoever the plans are with.
