Random one.
I have a DS with my ex and dc with my current partner. DS always wakes up here on Christmas morning and visits his dads house throughout the day or sometimes sleeps there Christmas Day night into Boxing Day.
Before anyone asks why doesn’t he stay there on Christmas Eve sometimes or alternate Christmas etc like other parents do. It’s never happened for us. DS has siblings here. He doesn’t at his dads. His dad always goes out drinking Christmas Eve so he’s never been interested in having DS then.
My ex has told DS that Father Christmas always drops presents off for DS at his house too so DS thinks he gets two visits off Santa.
I’ve always been against this as for me Santa should visit the house you are sleeping Christmas Eve and wake up on Christmas morning.
Also. DS has been telling dc he gets two visits which isn’t ideal as dc are more understanding now.
Plus in our house Santa always brings one gift and a sack or stocking and the rest is from me and hubby. In my exs view all presents are from Santa.
I’ve tried to communicate this with him but he’s not the easiest to talk to.
Aibu?
It wouldn’t be so bad if DS kept his gifts off his dad at their house but he always brings them home. Naturally DS is always going to have extra presents off his dads side of the family which is fine but from Santa? No! I feel like I should do the Santa thing here!
Please guide me here. Shall I put my foot down this year? It’s causing all sorts of confusion here!

To think Father Christmas doesn’t make two visits.
