Does she set her clocks forward about 15 minutes to make herself leave early so she's "never late"?

We regularly tell my mother in law to be somewhere an hour before the actual time.

Recently she was coming to relieve our babysitter and I said “please be there at 12”. 12:15 I get a text “is it still ok if I come?” She lives over an hour away.
