My manager at a company I've worked at for a few years has asked me to join a status update meeting daily, before my normal work hours. This has proven difficult as I'm usually quite busy in the mornings, handling getting myself and my children ready for their day during this time, and for the most part unavailable. I could rearrange my schedule to make it work, I just really don't want to do that.
To make matters worse, this meeting is pointless for me to attend, it is a status update on a project I have very little to do with. Once every few weeks I may actually need to be there to say a few "status update" words. These could easily be summarized during work hours, as they are not time critical.
I tried just not attending, but got caught and he asked me again to join. I've explained my time commitments, and my lack of work on this project, but still he pressures me me to attend and "zone out" waiting to see if my name is called.
How can I better communicate that I do not wish to waste my time attending this meeting every day?

What does your boss say about why you should attend? Is your boss the one facilitating the meeting?
