To not drop her off?

Ex partner lost his licence and has a driving ban. Before this he would pick up DD and drop her off whenever he had her.

AIBU to not do pick up and drop off? He lives with his mum 45 minutes drive away.
His mum does have a car and has been running him everywhere this week as he's had a week off work.

Last weekend we fell out as DD was due to stay at his for an extra night, he rang in the morning and said that he wants me to pick her up that day. I said the plan was I would collect her tomorrow. I'm in the middle of decorating our new house with little to no help and had planned to spend the day painting. He said he ran around after me and DD for years so it's basically my turn to do all the driving around etc as I've recently bought a car because we moved rurally.

Is it my job to drop her off? Or do I do drop off if his mum agrees to run her back? Im a little lost with how this works.

Or am I just being stubborn?

I agree with others that if you moved away and he's been doing all the drop offs/pick ups so far when you didn't have a car then you should be more willing to do the travelling. Especially if you moved rurally, from my experience of living rurally public transport is a nightmare (although obviously everywhere's different).

He is being unreasonable expecting you to drop off's/pick up's last minute on his demand though, there should be an agreement in place between you
