Q: Dad had dui class during his scheduled time with son. Am I obligated to let him make up lost time?

His scheduled time is 10-6pm. He won’t be able to get him until 12:30. I know he will ask o’clock or later to make up the time. But I was not aware of this class. And don’t feel I am obligated to. Is there a law about that ?
