DSC is 9, DC1 is 3 and DC2 is a newborn.
DH works long hours with a crazy commute and often isn't home until 7.30/8. I'm on mat leave so all running around/school and nursery pick ups/drop offs are done by me.
DSC is with us two weekdays every week and EOW.
On one of the weekday evenings DSC does an after school activity which, tbh is a logistical ball ache with the two younger ones. And that's with it just being walking distance away.
The activity they want to do on the second evening is a car journey and will involve shuttling the two littler ones back and forth at a time of day when they're tired, hungry and at their worst.
WIBU to just say no to the second activity? I know if I don't facilitate it, DSCs mum won't, so it means DSC won't end up doing it. But I just feel like two nights in a row is too much on my plate and not really fair on the younger two, who would ideally be in bed when it would be time to pick up DSC. AIBU?
No local family who can help BTW. And I just don't know anyone round here well enough yet to ask them for that kind of favour.

Eldest wants to do loads of after school activities but I am on my own and have two younger DCs.
