Live life by the minute - don't be late!

My little underling who is here with me this week told me that her host family drew up a schedule for her! She has a piece of paper each day that tells her what time she has to get up, have brekkie, get dressed, go to school, come home, eat dinner, have a bath, watch TV; EVERYTHING is scheduled! Apparently last night dinner was 20 minutes late and they were apologising for ages about it. Why would they think a 17 year old would need a schedule? If anything they are the opposite surely? I've said this before I know but, how anal do these people want to be??
