My parents are late some times. I have a client that is a nurse and another that is a legal secretary for one of our Legislators. They have things that happen that they physically can't walk away from. As long as they are respectful and don't abuse it I don't have a problem with it.
If I had to leave at five o five and my last kid was five I would just change the closing time that day to 4:30 so that you have a window of time for everyone to get there.
I've learned the hard way to never plan to have everyone here on time when you have something really important to go to. Best to give a half hour window. If you are going to skate the time you leave that close to departure you are going to miss things or be late.
You will always have that parent that calls you five minutes before they are supposed to be there and say they are 20 minutes away. Its gonna happen.
You don't have to tell them WHAT you are doing just that you need to close early that day.
