Modern Morals: One of the school mums we carpool with is chronically late - it's aggravating me. What do I say?

Joining a school carpool has been a lifesaver for a working parent, especially with time constraints during busy mornings. However, the reliability of the arrangement is compromised by one mother who is frequently late, taking between five to twenty minutes. Although the children have never been late for school, the waiting time affects overall morning efficiency and stress levels for the other parents, causing dissatisfaction and a need for a change in the carpool dynamics.

Every time, she's between five to twenty minutes late, while the kids have never been late for school; that waiting time significantly affects my mornings.

I joined the carpool for convenience as I work full-time, but one mom consistently fails to stick to her schedule or fulfill her responsibilities.
