Dsd is coming to visit for a week. Dh is collecting her on Sunday. The following Sunday is his birthday. He wants to take her home on Monday morning as he would like her to be here on his birthday - totally understandable, and does not want to drive on his birthday (8 hour round trip - also understandable)
However, our youngest will be returning to school on the Monday. I think this will already be stressful for him after being off so long - he’s only in reception. He will be unhappy as his big brother is not going back yet, plus obviously things are going to be quite different in terms of the school experience. I think that adding dsd going home that same day will make him more upset as we try to get ready for school plus our eldest will have to go on the 8hr round trip as I have to go to work.
Therefore I think that either dsd should go home on Saturday, or we celebrate dh birthday on Saturday and he takes her home on Sunday. I’ve said it’s up to him but the more I’ve thought about it I think that Monday would be a really bad option. Aibu?
