Dear Abby: Our niece keeps leaving us hanging because she can’t stay on schedule

A host is experiencing frustration with a niece who consistently fails to adhere to schedules, often arriving two days late. Dear Abby advises the host to establish strict boundaries and cease waiting for tardy relatives. Additionally, the relative frequently alters itineraries, leaving others waiting for hours or days. While the visitors arrive punctually, the relative rarely adjusts their own plans to accommodate them and expresses surprise when others follow the agreed timeline.
